Transferring stamps to new passport.

[Tbone999]

Hi, I need to transfer my retirement extension to a new passport, does anyone know what paperwork I'll need to take, I already have the transfer form, just need to know what copies I need.

You will need a letter from your embassy requesting the transfer.

Copy of new passport photo page. Copies of old passport photo page and the pages with a Thai visa or stamp on it.

Mhmm, are you sure about the letter? I didn't have that last time when I did a marriage extension, they transferred the stamps to my new passport at the same time as doing the extension? Just to let you know, I have two valid passports due to my work and want to transfer as the old passport is almost full and I will apply for a new one later.

It can depend upon the office you do it at. Many want it while others may not want it.

Not sure the will transfer the stamps from a valid passport to another one. Normally the will only do it if the one with your extension in it has been cancelled.

Ok, guess I'll have to visit them and see. Thanks for the info.

I did this last week, I had to get a stamp put on my old passport for Jomtien/Chon Buri Immigration from the Australian Embassy. Had to make an appointment on line to get into the embassy. This is what the stamp looks like.

I have done it twice already, I never used a form or needed a letter (CMai).

When I get a new passport, I simply travel with that and the old one as well, the one with extension and re-entry.

When the time of extension renewal comes, the IO transfers what is needed on the new passport and adds the new extension and re-entry.

 

My embassy knows to cut out all pages of the old passport when they issue me a new one, except those with extension and re-entry.

So where do the entry and exit stamps go?

In the new passport with the visa type and number noted.

I did it yesterday at Phuket, no letter required and even though I have two passports (both valid), with different issue dates rather than appearing to be a new issue to replace the old one, they didn't question it. One thing they didn't do was replicate the entry stamp in the passport (probably can't), so I'll have to take that one with me when I exit the country.

That's good info that Phuket imm. doesn't require the embassy letter.  Although you didn't have an old expired/cancelled passport, but two valid one...!  I try next month and see,  do they ask for money for this transfer...?

And does it require an embassy letter?
