Nope.

 

It all can be done online now.

I am really confused as to how the embassy can update your old passport when everything is done online. How exactly does this work?

It's not an update, its a renewal.

 

You fill out the online application, print it out and send it to the Embassy.

So, the stamp in the old passport that indicates that it has been superseded by the new passport automatically appears?

I'm not sure if you need a stamp.

 

Either way, the Embassy doesn't see your old passport.

 

Edit* Maybe a stamp is put in the new passport.

UK also stopped

I am now planning to get my UK passport renewed after my last extension on 20 June at Udonthani Immigration has been stamped in my passport.

 

Just wondering do you know if the UK Passport Office puts a stamp in the new passport like as mentioned here that some other countries do?

 

Many thanks in advance for any help.

No.

 

Totally virgin pages. You need to visit Immigration to get your stamps transferred into the new passport.

What Canada will do is put a stamp into your new passport stating that this is replacing your old passport.

 

It looks to me like this stamp was put into your old passport.

From the post i read the passport is untouched. Immigrations are supposed to know that a letter is no longer issued, we can see what reports we get.

 

If you got the passport whilst in UK it would be stamped in on arrival

Which passport country?

Some embassies have stopped providing that "letter" 

Oz being one.

Think USA have also stopped.

Oz haven't stopped completely. If you go to the Aussie Embassy or consulate and leave your expiring passport with them, your new passport has a stamp in it to meet immigration requirements. If you renew your aussie passport by mail, and keep your current passport in your possession, then they DO issue the letter for immigration as the new passport is sent in the post and not collected.

 

This is the written information both the Aussie Embassy and consulate in CM have provided me with as I'm due to renew mine later this year.

My Thai partner recently renewed her Thai 10 year passport.

 

She didn't renew her Thai 10 year passport.

She renewed her Thai passport and got the new 10 year version.

The Dutch Embassy stopped issuing these letters around January 2023.

 

A consular staff member said it was communicated to the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs that no such letters would be issued anymore. I assume the MFA has the task to inform immigration.

And then the information presumably needs to cascade downwards through the Immigration Bureau structure at an extremely leisurely pace in all probability, until it finally reaches immigration officers working on the coalface.
