Where can I switch my passports the fastest? (Dual Citizenship)

[kdrayong]

Having a dual citizenship I need to renew my Caribbean passport this year.

 

I'm living in Thailand on an EoS (retirement) based on a Non-Imm-O Visa which is in the Caribbean passport.

Since this passport has to 'travel' for maybe more than 60 days for renewal, I would like to switch to my European passport first and apply for a Non-Imm-O Visa at one of the Thai embassies or consulates in the neighboring countries.
I meet the requirements for a Non-Imm-O Visa and an Extension of Stay.

 

Some time ago I was able to complete this process within two days, but I'm aware that the rules have changed.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

u need fly out on the passport u entered on
fly back on ur other one, ( if u can show 800,000 in a thai account get ur single entry non o in Laos, Burma, Cambodia, Malaysia (anywhere) 
Via an agent in Phnom Pehn (Call kim or Cina travel ) takes 3-4 business days 

or direct at embassy

BUT why switch?
as long as the new passport is back before ur next 90 day is due.....

I don't feel comfortable staying in Thailand without a valid passport with an allowance of stay.

i renewed my us passport last year
Had to  send  current one to Bangkok, an it took 42 days till new one arrived
whats ur concern?
carry a copy of front page and visa
worst case scenario is it takes more than 90 days and u'll be hit with a 1,000-2,000 baht fine

 

But up to u

He was quite clear: Not having current valid passport.... 

 

I will not be anywhere (unless unavoidable) without a current passport...   there are too many possible scenarios where I need to travel immediately... 

 

... Imagine family member (parents etc) become quite unwell and we can't travel to see them...
