  1. Thanks for the replies. I think I will get a new passport by mail here. Do I need to go to immigration here, or can I wait until I leave Thailand on my next trip from the airport to get it transferred. Also do I need to do it within a certain amount of time or just before the date in my passport for my latest exit date. I hate going to immigration here in Jomtien. I know when I lived in China and got a new passport they gave me a big hassle for not transferring my residence permit before I left China.

  2. I just came into Thailand at Phuket airport and when the immigration officer flipped through my passport he saw my Thai tourist visas and extensions. He then asked me why you live in Thailand so long. I said I have a Thai girlfriend and I like Thailand. 

     

    I'm thinking of getting a new passport but the United States embassy says this on the website "Thai immigration law requires entry/exit stamps and Thai visas be transferred into new passports. After receiving your new passport, please visit any Thai immigration office to have the visa transferred. The letter to facilitate visa transfers comes standard with all passport renewals and is provided without fee." 

     

    Do they transfer all of the visas and stamps or just the most recent one? I'm not on an extension as I just came in 2 days ago. Would it be beneficial to get a new passport now or wait until I visit the United States to get a new passport in summer? I have never got a new one inside of Thailand, I have always got them when I go home to America and come back with a fresh passport.
