February 6, 20242 yr I recently received my new US passport and had a problem getting my 90-day report on line so I went to the CM immigration office near the airport, I had downloaded the form for transferring stamps from old to new passport and did mofr 47 (90-day report) twice just in case - 1 using old passport and 1 one using new passport and yes, they insisted I had to use to old passport for that process - only 5 minutes so so problem, also had to check in with TM 30 office who update they system (this office opened at 8:15 and took 5 minutes so the main office still had not opened and all my paperwork was checked prior to that opening. I turned in the paperwork to window 2 for transfers of stamps. All in all it took about an hour and a half at immigration to have all stamps transferred, the 90-day report and TM30 update so I was pleased with that and happy to have it all done. As an added benefitr of course, by doing the 90-day report on the last day of the old one, I get a full 90 days prior to having to do it again. At least the weather was cool for that morning too and there was a huge crowd there.

February 12, 20242 yr Author Does anyone know what the timeframe would be for transferring information from the old passport to the new one? I asked my agent and he seemed to think I could wait until October when I renew my extension of stay. That seems like a long time to carry two passports around. I couldn't nail him down on a price for this service. My landlady's son is the agent that does my extension of stay every year so the lines of communication are usually pretty good. October seems like a long time. Just asking.

More trouble than the previous renewal procedure 10 years ago. However, the Letter is a required document at Chiang Mai. Reading the instructions for "transfer of visa stamp", a verification from the Embassy is required. Since the US Embassy no longer issues such letters (along with many other services) you can download a form letter from them, stating as much. This was accepted by Thai Immigration and actually getting the que number to the "transfer visa" window, took about 3 hours total, including 30 minutes wait at the window counter.

At least I know it will be done right. The only reason I am using the agent is the possibility that they may ask to see my bank balance. The agent deposits the required money and then withdraws it. I suppose 2000 baht is worth avoiding a hassle at Immigration over a bank balance that I don't have.

February 23, 20242 yr Author Question about using a new passport with the Thai Immigration 90-Day reporting system. Now that I have a new passport, do I need to register again with the online system? The information from the old passport has been transferred but the Passport number is different.

Given you posted that question here quite a while ago, have you found out the answer to the question? I am about to pick up my new passport and your question is also something I was wondering about. Anyone who can answer the question? Thank you!

I had my agent handle the transfers for a very modest fee. My agent is also my landlady, so things go fairly smoothly.
