PR leaving Thailand with new and old passports

[HKTMAN]

Hello, i am a Thai PR. I just got a new passport issued by my embassy in Bangkok. My Non-quota immigrant visa is still in cancelled old passport but valid for the next few months. Endorsement in the resident book also still valid for the next few months.

The question is, Can i leave Thailand and return using both passports together or do i need ask a new non-quota immigrant visa and endorsement? Or do i need to transfer Non-quota immigration visa to the new passport before leaving Thailand? If anyone had experience on this please advise. Thank you

Here we go; you can transfer your "Non-Quota multiple immigrant entry" visa with the enclosed form. As this site does not allow *.pdf nor *.doc I am attaching the two pages as *.jpg. 

If you don't get an embassy letter = no issue (to be frank, I never worried as being too lazy to add this unnecessary piece of paper to the bureaucracy). 

You also do not have a TM (arrival/departure) card, the TM6, as the latter is completed on the way out and the "arrival" part is taken/kept by the immigration on the way back into Thailand. 

There is no fee for this transfer and so executed (in my case) in  Bangkok (Chaengwattana and Suan Plu before) as well as the immigration in Nong Khai. 

Good luck 😉

Hello. Firsty you aren't a permanent resident but are likely to hold a Non O extension (12 months).

You can transfer the stamp from your old passport to your new passport at no charge

As pointed out above... Clarify if you indeed have "permanent resident" Status.

Yes, i did have a permanent residency. I just needed to know whether it is okay to leaving and return to Thailand holding both old and new passports. Non-quota immigrant visa is still valid in the old passport. Thanks

Having PR status don't you need to visit immigration prior to exit. 

If so why not get transfer to new pp at same time
