Hi everyone

I recently got my passport replaced here in bangkok.

In my old one I had a valid multiple entry non imm visa.

I got my new passport and went to immigration.

At soi suanplu I was swiftly (it was great service!) stamped with a new stamp and given a new departure card.

I was stamped with a replacement of the stamp that you get on arrival and whichg states who long you can legally stay for.

I did not get my visa replaced however.

As my previous visa was stamped onto my old passport, my current passport has no record of my previous visa, which was just issued about 3 months ago in europe.

I was told to contact thai foreign ministry. Now simply hearing that got me in total despair.

Does anyone have any experience as to how I could obtain records of the visa I was issued and get it stamped on my new passport. Should I contact the issuing consulate and ask them for a copy? or is there some knid of service/officeindeed at the thai foreign ministry that A. would have a clue as to what I am reallly looking for when I go and present my problem and B. can go through the records of the visas issued and get my records visible so that they may stamp with a new visa?

I would appreciate any help.

thanks

Sam

If you have your old passport. You use both the new and old one ( showing the visa stamp) when entering Thailand.

Otherwise you need to go to a Embassy/ Consulate outside Thailand and get a new visa.

i had the same situation and found that if i produced both the old and the new passport there was not a problem. staple one to the back of the other so you dont have it go astray.

hi

thanks for the replies

I too have had the situation where I had both passports, not I do not have the old passport anymore unfortunately.

If you do not have the old passport you need to reapply for a valid visa outside Thailand.

if u had photocopies of ur old passport and the visa u could get a little story written in ur new passport by the wonderful ppl at suan ploo which would not make u get new visa. however, this is speculative but worked before.

so get ur photocopies out.

good luck
