Nevo Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hoping someone can help with advice.....here's the situation:- My passport expires 17/2/07 I have a non-imm visa type B extended until 17/2/07 in line with my work permit. I want to go to the UK in October for two weeks. Am I right in thinking I'll have problems re-entering the Kingdom because by October my passport will be valid for less than 6 months ? Can I apply now for a new passport at the Embassy ? If so is it easy to get the Thai Immigration stamps transferred ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the scouser Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Nevo, I don't know about the transfer of stamps, but you can apply now for a new passport at the embassy. Scouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 As long as you have a valid re-entry permit you shold be ok. In fact, I had once to argue on this in SIN. My p/port was just valid for one more month, so was the re-entry and they could partout not understand that I had to get my new p/port in Bangkok, as place of residence. Anyway, the supervisor finally got it, 'the passenger has a permission by the Thai government to re-enter, that's it.' Easier, I agree, get a new p/port and have your 'permission to stay' and the re-entry - permit transferred, than your docs are in order for next time. Last year I did this and got both transferred free of charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busgen Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 8-1-2006 my passport expired. I got a new passport on the 7-11-2005 and Sri Racha Immirgration re-stamped the complete visa story (non-immigrant . Within 6 months (on the 11-2-2006) I went to Europe on a re-entry visa and everything went without problems. I think that the validity of 6 months is important for the first entry, but it's not important anymore after the Thai immigration validated your passport with a visa.
