We don't need another topic about tipping at immigration offices.

Removed some more off-topic and troll posts and the replies to them. Enough of this useless bickering.

In that case, it would give the OP the minimum of the "week or two" he is looking for.

Actually, it depends on the reason for the extension. For example, if it is to visit a parent, spouse or child, a 60-day extension can be applied for.

For a non-O visa, there is no "7 day trick"

There have been a number of posts over the years indicating that the testimony of close relatives enabled the district office to issue a substitute document for the birth certificate.

Your Thai ID number is on the ID page of your passport but it just occurred to me that if the district office lost the record of your birth before it was saved in a comuter database, this will not help them trace it.

Do you have a Thai passport?

It depends on the category of your non-immigrant visa.

Below are the links to the TM.30 reporting requirements currently in force: Thai language https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=689133 English translation https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=689586 From what you have posted, the following excerpt from those regulations appear to apply to your situation. You may wish to take a printout of the Thai text to your immigration office and ask the immigration official it this is the case.

This leads to the question if the OP, @jjj555, in possession of his Thai ID card.

That was exactly the point. Please stop bickering.

What reason for the extension of stay did you indicate on the application form?

I am starting to get confused. From what you have said, your current extension of stay is based on your last arrival in Thailand which you made with a tourist visa. What is this school you are talking about? Is it a school at which you are studying, or is it a school at which you will teaching after getting the necessary paperwork done? What exactly is the "volunteer visa" your old passport? Never mind. As your current permission to stay is based on your tourist visa entry, immigration will make no note of this "volunteer visa" or any other visa in your old passport.

A note will be entered in your new passport referencing the tourist visa in the old passport, and the arrival stamp will be copied over. Nothing else.

Now that the OP has reorted the outcome of his visit to the immigration office, this topic is closed.

Another quirk of Thailand's e-Goverment. But they're slowly making progress. Next, they should find a way for immigration officials to look up the details of the TM.30 notification made for a foreigner's arrival on their database so that they don't have to ask the foreigner to bring a printed copy every time they need confirmation that the notification has been made.

Immigration at the airport will put the arrival stamp in your new passport.

There are various types of "geofencing" and for the download of some of their apps from Google Play Store, Thai immigration uses the most perfidious one, the "Country/Region" stored in the Google Pay Payment Profile. The problem with this is that this can be changed only once a year, at https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings.
