  1. Do you have any prior history of being in Thailand before these 3 visa exempt entries? It could be a determining factor. And yes, you may get in trouble if you land in Bangkok or Phuket. I would do a border bounce if you still have some left for this year (can do 2 per year).
  2. I was surprised I could get it done as well haha. French citizen. Took just under 1 month to get the passport. It takes 3 months to do so in France... They give priority for people abroad, who obviously need passports in a timely manner. But, you need an appointment which you make online and has to be at least 3 weeks in advance. So, 2 months is about right in total.
  3. Spot on, that's exactly what happened. Was taken to another special desk and it took 5 minutes to process. Thank you everyone for your answers and help.
  4. Thank you all for your responses. As suggested, I will just go to the airport and they should be able to manage with both passports. I'll report when I'm back from my trip if there was any issues or not.
  5. Good advice, will definitely try to call the immigration office tomorrow morning.
  6. Hi guys, Here is my situation: I last arrived in Bangkok on visa exempt and had it extended for 30 days. In the meantime, I applied for a new passport (EU citizen) and managed to get it done here which I received last week. They canceled my old passport, gave it back to me along with my new passport. Question: Do I have to transfer the stamp at Bkk's immigration, or can I just go to the airport with both passports to exit the country? Thank you
