I have a general question about getting pages added to a passport... Has anyone done this in Shanghai? I have a 60 hour layover there next week and need to get it done. I know folks have done this in Hong Kong and other locations, but my schedule has me in/out of HK with insufficient time to get it done. Any thoughts/suggestions from the vets, for a rookie on this topic? TIA.

Adding Pages | Consulate General of the United States Shanghai, China

It has been done without a problem, but I would not put too much faith in other peoples experiences for the simple reason that the rules and process seem to keep changing.

Ref the link, you need to make an appointment at the consulate and have the paperwork with you. I would grab a taxi to and from the hotel, but YMMV. Put any charges for the pages on the company card.

The longest I heard of before you was 1 year. I was told that if you are in the pool u well get called...unless off course they dissolve the pool...but that is not happening with the pilot shortage we have now.

Done it twice in the little over nine years I've been here. Never been a problem.

Re: Passport

ORD is also a great option if you have a long overnight. They take appointments online and it only takes a few hours to get it back. It's in the federal building just off the blue line downtown.
