Not sure since Chiang Mai does it differently than other offices.

But since departure immigration should do a note about your old passport number and etc I would think you would not need a new TM30 submittal. Or you could show them both passports.

Thanks UJ,

I would think the same, I guess I'll go in the day after I get back with both passports and see what happens!

I've seen similar topics but my situation is kind of unique (I think) so here goes..

Will be leaving the country on a brand new passport (which I'm picking up the day before I leave). I've cancelled my ED visa in my old passport, and will present both old and new when leaving the country. 

I'm coming back about a week later on the new passport (will be entering visa-exempt) and I'm wondering about the TM.30 situation. I'm going to be staying at the same address, so can I just take my old and new passport to immigration and have the TM.30 updated as usual? or will I need to get the initial forms etc from my landlord to start that whole process again?

Thanks 

edit: I'm in Chiang Mai, if that's of any importance.

OP, ubonjoe as usual points out the informed stuff. I missed fact you will have new passport. Yes that will allow you to obtain SETV at Saigon.

However you still need to fly into Thailand.

Your history is on passport control airports unlike Thai consulates. 

I suggest if you fly into Bangkok airports it would be problematic. Especially previously having an Ed visa. 

If denied entry world of pain fly back to Saigon.

Recently guy with extensive history and 42 day overstay flew into U-tapao.

Bangkok zero chance. 

Plan is to fly back into Chiang Mai direct.

Here's my situation, 

I entered Thailand on a SETV obtained in Australia in October 2018, left and applied for another in December in HCMC Vietnam. While I was here on that second tourist visa I obtained an ED Visa (went to Vientiane to get that one). That runs out soon (I extended it to the full 12 months), and I'm planning to head to HCMC to apply for another SETV after a few days in Japan. 

Does the Thai Visa brains trust foresee any issues? If it helps at all (which it may not) I will be applying in HCMC with a fresh Australian Passport (I've just renewed it and it will likely only have a single exit stamp from Thailand).
