jumbo2 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have the Non Im"o" marriage visa.I have this not because I live in Thailand but I travel back every weekend to see the family and after the day count debacle of last year it was easier getting the visa to go in and out.My current passport has one page left and I need a new one.So will my current Thai visa still be valid even tho I will be using a new passport.The embassy will cut the corners of each page except pages that hold visas.I will be renewing the visa in about 2 months time,but in the mean time will I have any problems on arrival in Bkk every weekend?Any advice on this gratefully appreicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanibal7 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think you need to go on the website to double check.My understanding is the passport needs to have a minimum of 1.5 pages,excluding the back page to do a visa run.I have sent my passport to bk due to no pages left and i assume that the embassy will add another exact multi o in my new passport or i will have to use the old passport and new for my next visa run,which will be 28th april(90 days). good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuandchris Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 No problem, just carry both passports and it will be ok, UK only cut the back page not every one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Correct; the visa will still be valid and both passports will have to be presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSnake Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) You need to carry both passports or better still have the friendly folks at Immigration transfer the visa to your new passport. Did it for me didn't cost anything. Edited April 7, 2008 by BigSnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Immigration does not transfer visas. Only an extension of stay would be transferred (and the visa information - not a valid visa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You need to carry both passports or better still have the friendly folks at Immigration transfer the visa to your new passport. Did it for me didn't cost anything. They do not transfer the Visa but the Permission To Stay stamp. I've done it three times since living here (new passports). Still need to show both passports on exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly certain the UK, like the rest of the common market, can help you. A business passport is a normal passport with a lot more pages in it, so more space for stamps. I have a Dutch business passport now, and has double the amount of usable pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
