Hal65 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 1. Should I go to this office for a visa stamp transfer to my new passport? 2. How do I access the office at 9am when the rest of the building is closed? 3. Do you recommend going at 9am or just before 5pm? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal65 Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Okay, after some research: 1. Should I go to this office for a visa stamp transfer to my new passport? Yes 2. How do I access the office at 9am when the rest of the building is closed? The guards know the secret entrance 3. Do you recommend going at 9am or just before 5pm? Afternoon is slower, but a risk in case they say you need to do something and come back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindancer Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Last August their website showed " transfer of visa from old to new passport" I went there a month ago and they said they don't do it. I showed them the website info, and they said it was outdated. Here is the latest website image. You will notice that the icon on the image second from last has been left blank, where the previous image showed " transfer of visas to new passport". Therefore I am uncertain of what the up to date situation is. So, it is all somewhat confusing. Perhaps better to phone beforehand to possibly save you a journey.

I called up ~ 2 months ago, and was told "That depends. What office gave you the stamps?", then said they only do it if they did the stamps on old passport.

CM stamps Did mine at Airport Immigration a month ago, same as last time, cos Central said they dont do them there last month. Might be different again next week. Never sure when they are going to introduce new requirements or change the services they offer in Central. And just to clarify: my original visa was done in bkk on my old passport. Subsequent extensions were all done in CM. So, my old passport was given a visa in Bkk. Then all new extensions done in CM. And new passport 10 years ago was visa/extension transfer stamp was done in CM. Edited April 30, 2023 by Raindancer Spelling correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told in another thread the visa itself will not move to the new passport. Even the stamp they put in the new one, just references the other one.
