ubonjoe Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 If you do not get a new passport your extension of stay will end in June of 2023. Immigration will only issue a extension to the day your passport expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks it is only 2 mths anyway,quick question i am going to aust in dec should i renew PP there or would it be better to do it in Thailand as the visa stamps will be in the old PP when i come back in.

If you get your passport while in Australia show both passports when you enter the country to use the re-entry permit in your old passport and then immigration will stamp you into the country the new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott424 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I do not know the process or time involved but have you considered getting a new passport now in Thailand which hopefully you would have in time to do your extension in August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem travelling with 2 passports. You need to check out the process time for renewal pp both in Thailand and in Australia. Process time in Oz has blown out up to 6 weeks. You can pay extra for more urgent process (not sure of the criteria). As you say obtaining next extension with existing pp you only miss out on 2 months. It boils down to process time. Application for new pp is done by appointment at Oz embassy Bangkok.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
