Copy of Passport ID Page (and the original passport)

What do you mean by "original passport"?

My friend did his 3 weeks ago at Jomtien. Income letter from Embassy was good enough. I suspect this is because, as Canadians, we have to show proof of income funds to the Embassy.

A letter is not required for Canadians as the Embassy stamps the request to transfer in your old passport. Just did my transfer at Jomtien, no problems.

Well that amounts to the same thing since the embassy is certifying that they issued the passport. I doubt Canadians are a special class of extension applicants.

I was being helpful for fellow Canadians. You are being too sensitive.

A letter is not required for Canadians as the Embassy stamps the request to transfer in your old passport. Just did my transfer at Jomtien, no problems.

Went today at 1330. Form to be filled out, copies of all pages of old passport, copy of face page of new passport and departure card. I have to return on Monday after 1400 to pick up both passports.

No response?

He just lost his departure card and not his passport?

In that case he just goes to immigration and asks for a new departure card, fill out and get the arrival stamp for the original entry.

Not really a "transfer" but a new issue.

He might be asked to show a police report about the loss.

But probably not.

Thanks, but my transfer question was for me. I recently got a new passport. I am debating whether to transfer retirement extension over to new passport soon, or to wait until I do my retirement extension on 5th April. Ubonjoe has said it can be done at the same time. Its just that I don't want to run the risk of confusing immigration.

My friend has lost his departure card. What's the procedure to follow?

When doing a transfer of stamps from old to new passport at Jomtien, is it done immediately or do you have to return the next day?

I am in Najomtien. Was slow yesterday, but ok now.

I just renewed my Canadian passport in Bangkok. It takes approx 15 business days. The people at the Canadian Embassy are wonderful. I did not need to show my legal status in Thailand, and used the simplified form for Canadians outside of Canada. There is a photo shop on Sala daeng at the back of the building. Just go out the back and turn right. Its on the left-hand side next to a 7 eleven, before you reach Silom.

I just received my new passport. I will be doing my retirement extension in Jomtien on 5th April. Can I take both old/new passports at that time without doing a transfer of stamps beforehand? Thanks.

In Loei only good for 1 month, so best to ask your local office, they all make up their own rules.

I have read that about Loei. But they are one of the few offices that have that requirement.

1 month also in Jomtien.

Is that from personal experience or is it just what you heard from somebody. I think Jomtien uses the written rule.

I believe it was from someone posting here. Maybe someone could verify on their next visit? My friend got an instruction sheet from them, but does not specify length of time.

1 month also in Jomtien.

Greetings from a fellow Canadian, who got a new passport about a year ago. Examine your old passport. On the "Observations" page near the front, there should be a stamp from the Cdn. govt. stating that you now have a new passport No. xxxxxxxx, and requesting that your stamp be transferred. That obviates the need for a letter.

Thank you. I will be picking up my new passport in Bangkok in 2 weeks, so I will check for this.

Has anyone recently done this at Jomtien. If yes, was a letter from the embassy required? I did it 5 years ago without a requirement for such a letter and my friend did it last year also. I am Canadian.

Before allowing my kids to be vaccinated, I would want my own choice of lab to tell me what is in the vaccine.

They will probably want the form completed.

I hope you are done clicking the post button after I had to remove 9 duplicates this one.

Sorry but my internet connection was not working properly. I was resetting the connection after failure to connect message. It should have not been posting.

I just noticed that there is now a Transfer stamp to new passport form. 5 years ago I just took both new and old passports into Jomtien and they transferred for me. Is it still the same or do I need to fill out the form?

• Yes, as long as you apply before your current 30 day stay expires you will get a 30 day extension.
• FYI, you can apply a week or so early and don't need to wait until the last day. The extension will start from the end of the current stay regardless of how early you apply.

Last week at Jomtien, my friend, who has a tourist visa, applied for a 30 day extension. He was told he was too early and told to come back not more than 3 days early.

Fuji on soi buakow (klang end) near the entrance of New Plaza. Research the embassy's specs and show them to the photographer. Remember, no smiling allowed and white background.

Thanks. Just to confirm, have you used them yourself for Canadian passport photos?

Can anyone recommend any photo shop that they have used in the Jomtien/Pattaya area and have had the photos accepted. Thanks.

Did a search, nothing found.

Besides the form and a photo, what other docs/copies are required at Jomtien. Thanks.

Has anyone info at Jomtien with regard to this? For me if it is 6 months, it means I could get my letter now and not worry about the $CA decline.

You letter will usually quote a figure in $CA which the immigration officer will convert to Baht on the day of application.

I have always got my letter quoted in Thai baht, using the rate for that day.

I will visit Immigration on Friday 22nd, and ask the big boss Captain for clarification. Hopefully he/she will speak to me.

Since is not your first extension some offices will want it to be in the bank for 3 months. Others that go by the written rules will not require any seasoning.

My office is Jomtien.
