New passport stamps transfer

[luicks]

I will get a new passport through my embassy in Bangkok together with a letter asking immigration to transfer my Non-O visa and extension of stay stamp to my new passport. Can that be done at any immigration office or only at the office that issued the extension of stay?

[ubonjoe]

You can only do it at the office that issued your extension of stay.

What is the process to continue a retirement visa extension and mutiple re-entry permit after obtaining a new passport while outside Thailand?  The orginal visa was issued in Bangkok 5 years ago and the last extension of stay and multiple re-entry permit were issued in Jomtien.

 

When returning to Thailand, should both old and new passports be produced for entry? What should be the "stay until date" upon entry.

Just travel with both passports.

Visa info and extension stamp and reentry permit remain valid even though old pp is cancelled..

 

The new "until date" will be same as your reentry permit

I did exactly this at Pathum Thani immigration today.

 

Of course, they had a list:-

 

 

And still needed another 2 Baht copy (they actually wanted all the extension stamps).

 

All pretty painless really, took a couple of hours of mostly waiting.

 

Free! Apart from them using up two pages in my new passport of course.

WHAT?

 

FREE?

 

I must get over to you local friendly place ASAP or rather as soon as my new passport turns up.

My local Imm. office told me it would be 500 Baht or did I completely misunderstand your post ????

I take it you had a satisfactory experience with Keyvisa?

Transfer of stamps and visa information is free.

Does not stop some immigration offices from  extracting baht from you.

Bangkok immigration does not charge for transfer of data to new passport

Keyvisa were fine, the UK passport office taking 14 weeks to do their job was rather less fine ???? 

 

And yes, apart from photocopies, moving my stamps to the new PP cost zero Baht.

 

On the other hand, the local administration office did charge for the updated KR22 marriage registration. The outrageous fee of ... One whole Baht! and we got a receipt.

Did you have to provide copies of all the previous extension stamps ?

 

Thanks for the list, about to do the transfer exercise myself.

Yes, we had to get an extra page copied.

 

Do note that, of course, every immigration office is different in their actual requirements.

Thanks, I'll wait and see whether they ask for all the additionals as it's a few.

From your earlier post it came across that you only supplied copy of ID page of old pp. 

There are other pages required. 

Having said that 500 baht "service fee" is a bit rich.

You made a good call.

I did mine yesterday at Ubon Immigration.

No fuss, no fee, very smooth.

I only provided copies of the documents requested on the Immigration list, no extras.

I notice you deal with Hua Hin.

Reading similar threads about immigration offices charging for this, HH is a stand out.

 

With or without you providing required photocopies etc.

Seems HH have a nice little scam in place and can extract 500baht. Nice little earner. 

 

Does not surprise me regarding that scam office.

They also played games back in covid extension days.
