Sjoerd Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 In my old passport (still valid for about 1 year), there is a valid extended period of stay based on a Non O/retirement visa and a re-entry permit. My plan is to get a new passport issued in my home country where I am now. Can I just return to Thailand without any problems entering Thailand? Thanks for advice..

scubascuba3 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Yes, once in Thailand you can get the visa stamps transferred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 If main page and the Thai immigration stamps/stickers on the old passport are "unharmed" you will have no problem. Different countries have different methods of voiding an old passport. Some put void stamps on all EMPTY pages others just punch holes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just show the old and new passports and immigration at airport will stamp my new period of stay in the new passport? I never did this before...

Should be no charge but you never know with some offices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiaora1968 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I did just that last year and wrote about my experience here: I should just add that, in Belgium, they cut the corners of every page of the old passport. However, I explained that the relevant "Thai stamp" pages (conversion to Non O, last extension, re-entry permit...) should be left intact, I clearly marked them with tape, and they accepted without any question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
