He was issue a new passport. You cannot leave Thailand until you obtain a transfer of your entry stamp from the old passport to the new one at Immigration. It is not possible to do this at the airport.

Can anyone please confirm or clarify this

I have just got a new passport. I will be leaving very soon and intend to pay overstay 20,000 Baht at the airport. I will have my old passport with old entry stamp and out of date visa.

Are you saying I cannot do this at the airport?

If I do this at immigration - what are the chances of being arrested or jailed until time for my flight out?

Thanks very much for the feedback

Yes I know the general procedure - been there done it before.

I will have both passports with me.

The question remains will the immigration at the airport accept a blank new passport or will I need to get the old (expired) visa transfered at Suan Plu.

I don't feel at that stage the pertinent questions bears any relevence as I am not being investigated for working - I am just exiting the country

Thanks again

My passport (British) has expired already and I am on overstay.

Now I am in a position to sort things out at last.

I plan to go to the embassy to obtain a new passport. I understand this will take about one week.

I will then purchase an AirAsia ticket to Singapore/Malaysia or Cambodia.

SO I will have a new passport with no stamps and an old passport that is in overstay.

I also have sufficient cash to show on re-entry and can show income from abroad during my stay.

Question

Do I go to the airport - pay the 20,000 Baht overstay, leave and return or

Do I go to Suan Plu and sort things out there?

Experienced help would be apreciated

Moralistic judgements and flames will be ignored please don't waste your time - I am not interested in them

I would just apreciate a reasonable piece of advice airport or Suan Plu

Thanks
