Felt 35 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Is there a fixed minimum period the passport must be valid beyond the length of the validity of the extension? My next retirement extension is August 2019 and my passport expire December 2020. Thanks Felt 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 No. It's only an issue if you have less than 12 months left; in which case they issue an extension for the remainder of the passports validity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Bob Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Once you get your new passport you need to go and get the visa transferred to your need passport. At that point they will update your 1 year extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the pre August of 2013 way of doing it where they did the remainder of the extension when you got a new passport you are wrong. If your passport is not good for at one year the extension is only done to the date your passport expires and you have to apply for a new extension when it ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felt 35 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Great, then I hopefully can get one more extension in my existing passport. Thank you for the information. Felt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem getting your extension in August 2019 until August 2020. Take care to get a new passport before August 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essexfalang Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 along the same lines of above and reluctant to clutter up and start a new thread on something which is related. .....My passport needs renewing before my next visa extention (retirement), which i intend to do in London 2-3 months before expiry of visa. (25June) but what happens on my re-enty and Swampy ?....... i use my new passport I guess but carry my old to show the visa dates. when back in pattaya i then go to Jonteim and get the stamps carried over or renew at the appropriate time ?? Can anyone advise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will use both passports for entry to the country to use your re-entry permit in the old passport for entry and then be stamped into the country in the new passport. Then you go to immigration to have your stamps transferred to the new passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be very straight forward.....but what to do if as for me the old passport get cancelled (even if not expired )when issued a new passport????
