Popular Post CharlieH Posted January 26 Popular Post Share Posted January 26 I would suggest you keep keep both passports together and on return to Thailand visit immigration at the earliest opportunity to have the required items transferred to the new passport. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steven100 Posted January 26 Popular Post Share Posted January 26 (edited) You can renew your Australian passport while in Australia. I would think that answer depends on how long you will be there for to allow 3-6 weeks for processing. You can also renew it while in Thailand. I did renew mine recently and surprisingly it took less than a month from Thailand. Edited January 26 by steven100 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Renewal of Oz passport done only on line now, no more going to the post office, I think you can start the process at anytime as the Que for new passports is a lengthy one owing to the millions of new comers who are too looking for new passports... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they will want to see what visa and stamps you have so as CharlieH mentioned, show both passports to immigration and visit immigration as soon as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 OP, simply travel with both passports. At some point attend immigration to transfer stamps and visa information. There is no rule on when this needs to be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWNZ Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 On arrival back to Thailand, present your new passport, with your old one, mentioning your re entry permit is in the old one, the officer will view both passports and your entry stamp will be in your new one.. I have done this.... I recommend visiting your immigration office as soon as possible to have your extension and re entry stamps transferred to your new passport. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Make sure you immediately check your entry stamp at the immigration booth so that you're sure the officer stamped you in for the proper amount of time (until expiration of your current extension). If there's any error, politely tell the same officer of the problem and he/she should fix it right then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I got this stamp in my old OZ pp when I applied in person in Thailand and got them to send my new PP to me. You don't really need to visit immigration straight away, I only did that when I applied for my new extension, Immigration do not know when you receive a new passport. But that was when you had to go to the embassy things may have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 When i said new comers I meant those who puts in for their first passport and there're many, many of those thanks to the Oz government who append the gate to just any flotsam and jetsam from countries that only a while back any worthwhile Aussie would say No...

iaminwa Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) I renewed my Australian Passport last week in Oz. I paid $550 for accelerated processing. Filled out online, then went into a special Post Office for accelerated processing with my photos at 10am on Monday morning. Received a text the next day on Tuesday about 10am saying the passport was ready to collect - if you get the app in before 12pm, you can usually get it the next day.
