Excellent, I'll go there next. Thank you.

Greetings all, I hope you're well. I recently had the flu for 2 weeks and recovered about 2 weeks ago. During that time I felt a huge pressure in my ear and woke up to having about 50% of my hearing lost in one ear that has not returned. I am looking for a hospital/doctor that can figure out what the problem is with my lost hearing and hopefully fix it. I've gone to Pattaya International Hospital already, but they simply gave me anti-inflammatories, sent me home and I've gone through my prescription with no success. Thanks in advanced.

Here to report that I took both passports to immigration and they did the 90 day report with no fines or hassles. I had my previous TM-30 and 90 day report printed out. Everything very went smoothly. I hope this helps someone. Jomtien immigration has improved massively in the last 6 years from my experience. Much appreciation for that.

I flew out of the country with both passports. An employee of Thai immigration pulled me to the side and transferred my visa stamp onto my new passport. -Painless process, it may have taken 15-20 minutes and I didn't need paperwork. Upon re-entry, I had scheduled an appointment with Elite Visa staff to transfer my Elite Visa 5 year sticker. She walked me through immigration and they stamped a new 1-year visa onto the new passport. -Painless process, 15-20 minutes again. Perhaps 20-25 minutes from my gate to the taxi area. -They required my Elite Visa card (in my case a photocopy, front and back) OR the original letter of acceptance that you receive upon gaining membership. For now, I am uncertain if I needed to redo my TM-30. I can see both arguments, yes and no, as I have gone through major official channels. I chose to not redo it and I'll update you on whether or not it is the correct thing to do or not after I do my 90 day notification, which I have to go to immigration for on the first attempt anyway. Note: I attempted to do a 90 day notification on my new passport prior to leaving the country and was rejected with a notice that said I had to go to immigration on a new passport for the first 90 day. I left the country prior to being in the country for 90 days, so there is no "overstay" on the 90 day reporting. We will see. Thanks to everyone for the advice. I appreciate it and will update you with what I learn.

Thanks everyone. Sorry, I'm completely fried mentally after a hectic trip walking around in 35C+ all day. I realized how delirious I was after getting a good nights sleep. I appreciate all of the help, I definitely needed it. I have to go to immigration for my first 90 day check in on a new passport regardless. So I'll update you on what I learn. *Thanks to the mods for cleaning up my mess(es).

Note: I left the country and re-entered under the new passport.

New Passport, but I'm staying at the same 1 year condo rental. Do I need to report the new passport to immigration immediately or should I wait for 90 day reporting? With a new passport, I cannot do online reporting and must go to immigration to inform them during 90 day reporting. Can I wait to do it then or does it need to be immediately reported?

Ok, thank you. So if the TM30 is linked to my new passport on the day that it is received, then I'm guessing that I only have to go to update it during my next visit for 90 day reporting for the 1st time on the new passport.

I have the Elite Visa. This is the first time I've gotten a new passport on the same visa. My condos rental and notification of stay is associated with the old passport. I was wondering if I had to go to immigration to update it, or if I only have to do that during the 90 day reporting? I left the country because I've been here for 2.5 years and simply wanted to travel a little bit and this all got confusing and it mostly reset all of my obligations except for this (which I am unsure of). Sorry for the confusion, I was a bit exhausted. Thank you for taking the time.

Hello all, first timer American on a longterm visa. I have a yearly condo rental and I recently got a new passport from within Thailand. I got conflicting info, so I left the country and transferred my visa over to my new passport at BKK airport upon return. Do I need to go to immigration to inform them of my new passport number to the address? Are there any more steps that I need to take? I'm having trouble finding info on it. Thank you in advanced.

Thanks for your response. I have an elite visa and it should be a very straight forward process for them. I just want to avoid having to do it myself. I would like a tried and true service that has a good reputation with people on here.

Can anyone recommend a reliable service for visa extensions in Jomtien? The last service I was using asked for 20k baht [NO THANKS!] and I've heard that they are as low as 3-5k. Anyone have experience with a good one? Thanks in advanced!
