First up you ain't stupid. These accidents occur all the time. 

I recently obtained new Au pp.

Realize you are UK. 

The process was 20 day from apply Bangkok to received new pp via post. 

 

Back to your question...when you have your new pp attend immigration with both pp.

Your stamp records will be on file and not be an issue.

My office (CW) Also wanted my bankbook photocopies to verify Financials.  

 

Thanks Dr Jack, your advice is much appreciated.

OR... Do not travel....

4) Obtain replacement Passport in Thailand (can take up to 8 weeks)

5) Transfer extension of stay into new Passport

 

 

thanks Richard and others for your comments.

As Stocky states above, the ID pages are laminated and doesn't appear to be damaged like the other pages ie curled corners!!

I will not travel and will serve my 'punishment' for being stupid.

I am applying for a new passport and I have an appointment next week at VFS.

The next question, albeit I have time to find the answer, is how do I transfer my now non visible multi entry stamp and 'permission to stay' into my new passport (when i get it)?

Many Thanks

The key question is - What is your current 'permission to remain' in Thailand (i.e. what visa or extension are you on and when does it expire ?)

Hi, Permission to stay until Jan 2025..... I was about to head back to Europe in 2 weeks!. Oh well, teaches me for being so stupid!!

Options:

 

IF your ID page is clearly visible you can get a replacement passport- that takes time.

 

OR… get an Emergency travel document (if planning on flying directly home). 
 

 

If the ink hasn’t run that badly & the ID page is fine, if you are flying direct to the UK from Thailand it’s possible you’ll get away with it (blame Songkran !)… risky though. 
 

If you are still here for a couple of months, safe option is a new passport. 

Thanks Richard, My picture ID page looks intact, so hopefully the bio metrics will be too! I will go to the immigration tomorrow to try and get my stamps re issued. I 'm sure that will be a challenge!!

Go and have a chat with the immigration office, explain the situation and show them the pre washed photos. Hopefully they'll do the equivalent of transferring stamps from an old passport, but in this case a pre-washed passport to a freshly laundered one.

Thanks Stocky, I will go tomorrow

Okay, I accept all the blame, all my fault.....I washed my trousers with my UK passport in them. Stupid I know! See pic

The passport is relatively okay with some curled corners but my Thai stamps are washed out! I have photo copies of my stamp pre wash.

I am on a one year retirement extension and have recently done my 90 day reporting so I am all to to date.

How do I get my passport re stamped prior to flying out?

Yes no problem.

The counter is after security and just prior to passport control.

Zone 2. Left hand side.

 

BKK airport has a service available where they do the TM8 form and photo 200b

Multiple reentry is 3800b 

So 4k all up if you have them do the form 

Thank you very much for your clear reply. Much Appreciated

Are you talking about a visa, an extension or a re-entry permit?

A multi entry re-entry permit. Can I apply for one at the airport before I fly out?

Thank you

A one year Non Imm O Visa should already be a Multi Entry.

My Non O retirement extension is stamped with, "please contact the immigration office for a Re - entry before leaving Thailand". 

Hello,

I have a one year Non 'O' year based on retirement. It is a single entry visa.

Can I change it to a multi entry visa at Suvarnabhumi Airport before I fly out?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Try this website. Hope it helps

OK you have NO earth leakage protection so you should follow the suggestions in post #7 above.

 

You will need the 63A Safe-T-Cut or Schneider RCBO.

Thank you very much for your advice

Assuming you don't already have an RCD/RCBO (no Test button) you have two choices:-

• Install a Safe-T-Cut device on your incoming supply.
• Replace the main breaker (double unit on the left) with an RCBO.

Your sparks should be able to tell you if the Schneider / Square-D unit is readily available in your area.

 

Or you could order from Lazada https://www.lazada.co.th/products/schneider-breaker-qo250c10rcbo30-2p-50a-square-d-rcbo-i261502341-s402431551.html

 

Please try to post a better image of the box so we can verify that the above is the correct unit.

 

Hi sometimewoodworker and crossy... do these pictures help in making an assessment re safe -t cut and if possible....additionally, I would like to also install some form

of  lightning / surge protection?

many thanks for any advice

Are you quite sure that box has an RCD/RCBO?

 

Does the main breaker (left side) have a "Test" button?

Now that you ask, I am not sure, with a 100% certainty, that is has a RCD and I am not aware of any test button!

I thought (without any knowledge!) that the two separate gates to the left were RCD's or some kind of safety feature!...........I hope I haven't knocked you off your seat, with my ignorance!

I appreciate that the out of focus photo doesn't help.

I am away from home just now but have arranged for an electrician to come to the house on my return, next week...hence the question now, as I want to be prepared before he comes, so I know what to ask him to do, in relation to the consumer unit / safe t cut unit!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Safe-T-Cut is a well known brand of RCD/RCCB/RCBO.

 

If your current RCD (though it’s impossible see any details) is being tested at regular intervals and is still functioning there is no benefit to adding another.  If it is not functioning correctly then a replacement Schneider unit is a good idea.

 

Minimum life expectancy is probably about 5,000 operations, so monthly tests are recommended.

much appreciated, I was not aware of that. Thanks

Hello,

I have a relatively new Schneider consumer unit with RCD, (please see a slightly out of focus picture, apologies!) is it recommendable that I should fit a 'Safe T Cut' unit as well?

Thanks for any advice
