I applied for a new Uk passport . Trendy building 31/october this year . i was told fifteen weeks  before my new passport will arrive . yesterday i received an email to say my passport has arrived . six weeks waiting time was a pleasant surprise . Is it straight forward to renew at Udon immigration ? what documents will i require for a quick stress free change of visa to new passport . Thank you .

I did the same in October. Took both passports, filled in the form you get with the new passport. There is a 500 Baht fee for transfer ( this is in Hua Hin.)

Ten minutes later, all done.

Hua Hin seems to be unique in charging for this.  It's certainly a free service in Bangkok.

If they ask for a fee it's corruption money, so insist on a receipt before you pay anything.

 

A lady immigration officer at a border post took a minute to anotate and authorise the transfer, then asked for 100 baht.

 

As soon as I insisted on a receipt, she scowled siently, and thrust both passports back into my hand.

 

Report any IO who tries to scam you.

 

Keep them honest.

No fees.

 

Would you mind sharing the receipt?

Sorry I do not have it as I was renewing my Visa at the same time. However, it it is probably a "local" rule as happens so often here. I remember a while back when applying for my driving licence I had to pay 1,000 baht for each letter of residence in Hua Hin, where other districts there is no or minimal charge.
