Extra Visa Pages

There is no charge for adding visa pages. If you need extra visa pages added to your passport, please complete Form DS-4085, Application for Additional Visa Pages, and send it to the Embassy with the following documents:

* Your passport
* A self-addressed stamped envelope (79.50 Kr)

To download Form DS-4085 please click here.
I'm guessing that in person it will not be an issue at all but the default seems to be mailing it in. In PTY is was morning drop-off and afternoon return per the email conversation I had with them. That meant no extra pages for me there a few weeks back.

In Bermuda their web page says (emphasis mine):
1. For extra pages added to current U.S. Passports you must:

*Complete form DS-4085 -fillable or DS-4085 -non-fillable (Application for Additional Visa Pages);
*Submit the passport to the Consulate allowing approximately one week for processing
*There is no fee for this service
*You may drop off this application at the guard building. Please click here for these instructions. To submit this application in person click here to book your appointment, then select "Passport Services other then adding pages".
I believe that BDA sends the passports back to the USA for processing rather than handling it locally.

Those are my past couple visits to countries where I was there on a day that the embassy/consulate was open and neither worked out well for me. Hopefully I'll have more luck in Copenhagen on Thursday morning. I'll be at the front door at 9am and am hoping to be on a train to Helsignor at 10am.
