mrjohn Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I got my new UK passport last week. How soon do I need to visit immigration to transfer my Visa details for the new passport? My Visa extension is not due until early January. So I don't really want to go to immigration before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 You can travel with both passports. You can do it when it suits you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjohn Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Is it feasible to do my Visa extension and transfer to new passport on the same day? Grateful for any advice from those who've had experience of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvorBiggun2 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Don't forget 'no cost' to do the transfer. If the officer says there is a charge then tell him you will want a receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted November 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2022 in the meantime make sure you don't lose the letter that came with your new passport requesting Immigration to transfer stamps ,they will not do it without that , Personally I would do it before your next extension ,no need to complicate matters , on the day. regards worgeordie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they require that the letter is issued within a certain number of days? I did mine last year and can't remember but this is often the case.....

mrjohn Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 The letter I have is a blank form for me to fill in the details, so I guess the date could be anything you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Just leave it until you apply for your new extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends which Immigration office....................Bumfuknowhere can multitask, but the processing plant that is Jomtien will send you to different windows. Maybe Jomtien when you back to collect your passport..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grateful for any advice from those who've had experience of this. Assuming it's your Extension of Stay stamp that needs transferring, you can wait until you do your Extension, at least if you use CW in Bangkok. The only issue is that you need a queue ticket for N1 where they do the transfer and then a different queue ticket for the new Extension. Last time I did this, the queue for the transfer took 2hours and we missed our appointment for the Extension. Luckily, we were still able to do it, but it took pretty much all day. There is no charge for transferring the Extension to your new passport. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin612 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Make sure you keep everything in the passport envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKK4 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I just did a transfer of an extension of stay, which took 3+ hours. As others have posted, it may be done by different officers so you may need more than 1 queue ticket. I would do it earlier in order to not be stressed about trying to get both done in 1 day. However there is nothing wrong with waiting as long as you have all documents and copies prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
