Visa And Re-entry Permit Transfer To New Passport

[2beornot2be]

I have got a brand-new passport and need my visa plus re-entry permit transferred from my old document. How much will that cost? Thanks.

It's free and will only cost you a few photocopies of new and old passport and TM-card. Doesn't take long.

Immigration will not transfer the actual visa which you obtained from a Thai embassy/consulate. Immigration will transfer stamps obtained locally such as entry, extensions, re-entry permits etc.

Would that work for passports from different countries?

For example, if my US passport is about to expire but I also have an EU passport, would they transfer the stamps to the EU passport?

[InterestedObserver]

No, you need a letter from your embassy/consulate requesting that immigration transfer your visa into the new passport.

It's free...

Thank you very much. Are you ABSOLUTELY sure about that? Can anybody confirm, please?

[Mario2008]

Yes, I'm sure. I have to have a new passport also every 5 years and go through the same process.

[2beornot2be]

Yes, I'm sure. I have to have a new passport also every 5 years and go through the same process.

Thanks a lot! Oh (not quite) well... I was charged 200 baht for transferring my visa- and re-entry permit stamps to my new passport (100 baht each) by xxx-Immigration. No receipt given, though.

No, you need a letter from your embassy/consulate requesting that immigration transfer your visa into the new passport.

You also need a letter from your Embassy requesting that immigration transfer a stamp to your new passport. We needed a letter from the Philippine Embassy to transfer a 15 day entry stamp at Chonburi. We had booked a flight the following day so we had no time to get back to the Embassy.

This was another case where taking advice on here can be risky. I was told it would not be needed.
