Future Transfer of Visa to New Passport

[Acharn]

My passport expires 10 May 2026. My extension of stay expires 13 July 2026 (I just renewed it). When I go to transfer stamps in May (or earlier) will I have to renew my extension at that time? My memory is that I did the last time, but it was much closer to the end of the previous extension, and my memory is not very good anyway.

Your consular dept. will put a stamp in the old passport stating that "This Passport has been superseded by passport number xxxyyyccc. and maybe used when presented with the superseding passport  for the sole purpose of presenting any visa...etc. etc.

Weird that your extension expires after your passport expires, usually extension only goes to passport expiry date, maybe a mistake

I am in a similar position.

 

I last obtained a new passport about 8.5 years ago - I just took the new and old passports (and photocopies of same) with the required form to Hua Hin Immigration; no extension of visa, just a transfer with the same expiry date.

I have moved this topic into the visa section, for more responses.

That's strange. 

Your extension should have been given with "until date" Same as expiry of pp. May 10.

In any event not sure of what you are asking. 

 

When you obtain new pp the old one is cancelled however valid visas, extension, reentry permit etc remain valid. 

You attend immigration to have visa information and relevant stamps transferred to new pp. 

 

BTW: Renew pp this year some folk end up in a tangle leaving it late. 

Saves little money to run the tank to empty. 

Which immigration office?

Your extension should end the same date as your passport expires, seems they made a mistake.  If they really have stamped you in until July '26 you'll have to wait and see what happens when you get your new passport, if you're lucky they'll transfer the extension as it is.

Guys, I have to confess, was in same position as OP once several years back.  Got new passport and transferred all stamps at immigration, for a nominal fee of course.  Don't remember how much but did pay something.

 

So it is not unheard of.

 

With all things in LOS, as always YMMV

Not with British Passports. You get the new one, go to Immigration and they do it from their past computer records. FREE OF CHARGE. So it doesn't matter if your old Passport is not available or damaged. Been there & done it last month.

Indeed, stamps etc must be transferred prior to next extension. 

Some folk leave it to when they have business at immigration. 

Folk note to update you details with your bank. 

 

BTW: There is no fee. They fleeced you.

I did mine last year at CM, absolutely no fee whatsoever!

[1FinickyOne]

it will cost you a little, but I had an agent do everything for me.. they mailed off my passport and had it mailed back to them, they then went to Imm. and had all the stamps placed properly in my new passport.. All of that would have felt like a hassle for me  and so just dropping the passport off and picking it up at a later date was well worth the nominal fees charged by my agent... of course, you can do it all yourself..

Oh, you're right. I wasn't paying attention. My extension expires on 10 May 2026, which answers my question. Sorry.

Hi wondered if you would mind advising which passport  office did this.

 

I lost my passport in Mexico last month with a DTV Visa new passport and copy of the old  paspport. But Phuket office gave me some b/s

 

Any help greatly received  received.

...and your answer is?

[a269652]

Excuse me if this is the wrong thread. Nevertheless, has anyone recently transferred their visa stamp(s) from an expired passport to an renewed passport?

 

Apart from the following information, is there anything else I need when I visit the immigration office at CW:-

• New passport
• Old passport
• Copy of old passport
• Copy of current 90-Day renewal slip (just in case)

The last time I went through this procedure I had previously procured a letter from the British embassy authenticating my new passport. However, I don't believe they issue such a document any longer.

 

Thanks!

Am I also correct in my understanding that the British Embassy in Bangkok or their representatives no longer provide passport authentication certificates?

That is correct.
