cigar7 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have an "extension of stay" to 15APR2014, along with a multiple re-entry permit, in a Canadian passport that expires 01JUL2014. If enter Thailand with a new passport on 05MAR2014, which was issued on 01MAR2014, and does not have the retirement visa or any "extension of stay" and has no multiple re-entry permit, what will happen when I enter Thailand? Will I get to stay until 15APR2014 or will I only get to stay for 30 days? What would be the process to get a new "extension of stay" to 15APR2015 into the new passport? Can this happen when I enter Thailand at BKK airport or should be done in the Jomtien immigration office ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 You show both passports at immirgation and they will stamp you in till 15 April 2014. You than need to visit your immigration office to have details of your old passport transferred to the new passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 When entering you carry both passports and get the 15th April. You apply for the new extension at Jontiem Immigration Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigar7 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 So at the immigration office do I just ask for a new "extension of stay" or do I ask for them to also add the original Visa to the new passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olddoc Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) "So at the immigration office do I just ask for a new "extension of stay" or do I ask for them to also add the original Visa to the new passport?" Visas are never transferred. The immigration officer will place details of your previous visa/extension history in the new passport. A new extension is applied for in the same manner as previously , completed form, financial details and copies of relevant passport pages , together with a fee of 1900 baht !

ubonjoe Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 You fill out Transfer Stamp to a New Passport Form and attach copy of new passport photo page and the same for old passport plus your original visa, entry/permit to stay stamp, your most recent extension stamp and TM6 departure card. They may ask you do copies of new passport with transfered visa info and existing extension stamp before doing the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahjongguy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I had my stamps transferred last week at Jomtien. Very simple, just the form and copies as per above. No fee. The only surprise was they gave me a chit that morning and told me to come back the following afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This should be a free service. Caveat: Don't encourage corruption by capitulating to a "transfer fee" for which it is impossible to get a receipt (always a sign of an unauthorized "tea-money" donation). Some immigration officers do try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Khon Kaen do. 200 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Khon Kaen do. 200 Baht. I got all my data transferred from the old passport to the new in Khon Kaen last September. It was free. I guess it's just the luck of the draw as to who gets the corrupt clerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
