    Who told you that? I suspect they thought you had a multiple entry visa to use.

    If you have an extension of stay issued by immigration you should get the stamps transferred. At most immigration offices it does not take long and is easy to get done.

    Until that is done you need to have both passports available to show if needed since your new passport does not have any permit to stay in Thailand in it and your old one with your permit stay in it.

    If you have a valid multiple entry visa you show both passport the first time you leave the country and then both passport to use your visa in the old one for entry. After your first entry with the new passport it has your valid permit to stay in it and you only need to show your old passport when you enter the country.

     

    was just about to ask the same question, I just got my 2 month extension on my non-o and am now about to get a new passport, would I need to go to immigration? or is it just ok to go to the border when its time and show both passports?

  2. I had this situation today when I went to immigration, last time I just showed them the house contract and that was fine, this time they wanted my landlords id card copied and housebook copied.

    so I will go back tmrw and hopefully this will be the end of it.

    Btw my landlord has said she reported that I was staying there as there are a few foreigners who are teachers that live in these apartments.

    If your landlord hasn't reported you, they will be fined, but it will be you who ends up footing the bill as immigration will charge you there and then and tell you to claim it back of your landlord so I was told.

  3. Hello All!

    Just a quick check I was recently stopped by police on my motor bike, first time ever. He asked for my licence which is a u.k one, I showed him he looked and just said "U.K" "U.K" to which I replied "yes", then sent me on my way. I know I need to get a Thai driving licence eventually, but im planning on driving from isaan to Bangkok in a Car. Will I encounter a lot of problems, fines …… etc..

    thanks for the info in advance
