I couldn't agree with u more, rhkkmk!
NoFlyZone - did u mail your renewal in and was told no additional pages could be added? The form still asks if u want additional pages beyond the standard 27.

Not to offer the option of additional pages upon renewal was not so bad when u could get the additional pages for free. But now that they charge $82 for additional pages, maybe they changed their policy so that u could get additional pages at renewal time....boy, the things u learn on travel boards!

I am considering going to Vietnam/Cambodia on a walking/hiking tour with Backroads this winter.
I, too, have only four pages left in my passport and at least one isn't fully "clean". They are also at the back of the book. There are two Mexico stamps in those four pages.
I didn't realize those pages couldn't have visas. Is that a certainty? I see the printing of "Amendments and Endorsements" but I didn't know what that meant/what it is for.
I had hoped to fill this passport before it expired, and considering that the other pages are full, does that mean I have filled it already because those last four empty pages are "Amendments and Endorsement" pages?

If the four empty pages are amendments and endorsements, then your passport is already full. You cannot (no question about it) use amendment and endorsement pages for visas. Get pages added, or, if it is close to renewal time, get a new passport. Also, you should know that you must have 6 months validity remaining on your passport in order to enter many Asian countries, VN and Cambodia included.

I took another look - there are only two blank spots in the entire passport (other than those pages) so at least I am good to go for France in a few weeks.
I had no idea about this, so glad I checked here.
Wow, I filled a passport!

Quick update. We mailed off our passports and renewal applications the first week of August. We requested a passport with additional pages to avoid this happening to us again. We've been away and just got back and our new passports with additional pages and the old ones were waiting in the mail. No charge for the additional pages with the renewal.
Thanks to all for your advice.
