Transfer visa/extension stamp to new Passport - Suvarnabhumi airport Immigration
Thanks for the reply. First, it's too bad they won't transfer at Suvarnabhumi, and I'm wondering if this is always the case these days or whether (like so many things with Imm) it's variable. Because there are multiple reports on this site that they indeed DO it. Now, those may be obsolete and that's why I'm looking for recent experience. Have you tried recently? Second: I DO understand that I don't currently have an OA visa, but rather an extension of stay. But the extension is derived from that visa and based on it. This is a semantic point that has been analyzed endlessly on this site over the years. For some purposes, Immigration may trace an extension of stay back to the original visa on which it depends, and it is only in that regard that I refer to mine as OA. -

Myanmar Rebels Claim Drone Strike Downed Military Helicopter
In a sign of shifting battlefield tactics, Myanmar’s Kachin Independence Army (KIA) claims it has used a first-person view (FPV) drone to down a Myanmar military helicopter—marking a dramatic escalation in the country's ongoing civil conflict. The attack reportedly took place on 20 May in Shwegu, a town in Kachin State near the Chinese border, during a resupply mission to the junta’s embattled forces. According to KIA spokesperson Colonel Naw Bu, the FPV drone targeted an Mi-17 Hip transport helicopter as it hovered above a football pitch near Infantry Battalion 56’s headquarters. The craft later crashed, killing all onboard. Footage shared on social media appears to show a drone streaking towards the helicopter’s rotors moments before a small explosion. The authenticity of the video remains unverified, but the military has confirmed the helicopter’s loss—though it attributes the crash to mechanical failure. The incident echoes similar drone tactics developed on the front lines in Ukraine, where low-cost FPV drones have proven devastating against armoured vehicles and aircraft. Their appearance in Myanmar’s jungles suggests a worrying leap in the capabilities of ethnic armed groups. The KIA, one of Myanmar’s most experienced and well-equipped rebel forces, has increasingly coordinated with pro-democracy militias since the 2021 military coup. Together, they’ve made gains across Kachin and the neighbouring Sagaing region, challenging the junta’s air dominance in an area long considered its stronghold. Since late 2023, Myanmar’s military—once seen as unshakeable—has suffered major setbacks, particularly in eastern and western regions where ethnic armed alliances have mounted a concerted offensive. At least five helicopters and three fighter jets are reported lost since the coup, as resistance groups grow bolder and more technologically adept. Though the government has downplayed the KIA’s claim, dismissing it as propaganda, analysts warn that such drone attacks could further degrade the junta’s ability to control supply lines and reinforce isolated outposts. As the battle for Bhamo intensifies, the skies above Myanmar may no longer offer the sanctuary they once did. For the embattled Tatmadaw, this could mark the start of a new phase in the war—where even hovering helicopters are no longer safe from below. -2025-05-24 -

Expiry of marriage visa
If he is on an "extension of stay" based on marriage that he got from the immigration office where he lives, it does NOT cancel upon the death of his wife. If he had gotten a divorce it would be invalid the date he signed the divorce decree He can stay on that extension until it comes up for renewal and then he can apply for a new yearly extension based on another reason (retirement) by meeting the requirements AND If he's on a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa <-where he has to bounce out/back every 90 days (which is unlikely but not impossible) he can still keep using that visa until it expires by continuing to bounce out back <- VISAS don't end just because the reason you got it changes
