September 28, 200322 yr Hello All How easy is it to get a new passport from Embassy in Bangkok and then a visa from immigration? Can you stay in the country once this is done. Thanx for your help!
September 28, 200322 yr I don't know what nationality you are but at the British embassy it takes 2 working days to get a new passport. Make sure you don't "lose" the one you wish to replace as this represents the evidence that you are the nationality which you claim to be. Sorry, don't know about having the stamp endorsed in the new document. Scouse.
September 29, 200322 yr What is your nationality ? That'll help a bit. I worry at all the the sheer number of lost and wrecked passports. I think that Thai Immigration is gonna be a bit suspicious of the owners of new passports.
September 29, 200322 yr Posted: Sep. 29 2003,15:52 I have just come back from immigration, getting a visa transferred onto a new passport, I had no problems. Even though I had used an agent (a reputable one). Just seen this post on another forum.... Maybe some good news?
September 29, 200322 yr Hello to all, I'm trying to get a good head start on my application for a Thai retirement visa. A potentially complex endeavor. With that thought in mind, I've noticed a few ad's in the Bangkok Post outlining services from legal firms, which provide "visa help" or "visa guidance". Pricing is usually Baht 10,000. Given my many years of experience with the ever changing visa requirements, I'm giving the legal firm option strong consideration. Before I make the call, has anyone heard any sad stories about these firms which you would like to pass along? I'm pragmatic, so please don't hesitate to tell all. Thanks a million. Maikowjai
September 29, 200322 yr I did a PP change because it got lost...... And to me they did'nt act like they was suspicious at all. Not the Police when I reported it lost OR the Imm. Guys & Gals when I got the new stamp. They can be as suspicious they like, how are they going to prove it if it wasn't lost? Innocent until proven guilty, or was it Guilty until proven innocent... just remembered that this is Thailand.. Anything can and will happen at some point in the future.. :cool:
October 3, 200322 yr Whiplash, When Immigration office stamped yr new replacement passport ,what exit date did they use for for yr stamp? The original exit date that you had in the lost passport? maisap
October 4, 200322 yr Yep, they pulled the last one registered from their computer records, lucky for me that one was ok. Otherwise I had to pay for overstay.
