I have a EOS based on marriage i have to go abroad and will get a multi rentry permit, I only have 3 1/2 pages left so when i get back will need to get a new passport, can i transfer the re entry as well as the EOS to a new passport when i get it?

Yes, transfer the extension, then the re-entry, a two step process but should be free.

Thanks for that, on a side note if I have 3 pages left and need one for a visa, one fot a re-entry stamp and leaving one full page is it OK to fly with one full page only blank?

One page is enough. The re-entry permit only takes about half a page.

Can fill in form on your computer and print it before going in, which may be a time-saver: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/files/file/20-transfer-stamp-to-a-new-passport-form/

When I had this done at Jomtien I handed in the form, along with photocopies of old Passport ID page, the current extension of stay stamp, my last entry stamp and the visa I used to enter and both old & new passports. They entered all the needed stamps in my new passport at one go.

When I got a new passport and went into Phuket immigration to transfer visas and re-entry permits from my old passport, the immigration officer got out a couple of rubber bands from his desk and joined the two passports together and handed them back to me.

Seemed pretty simple....

I think they also transferred some stamps over if you are on an extension of stay (not a visa). Just putting the passports together with a rubber band is not enough in this case.

A Thai Consulate in the USA informed me a few months ago, when I asked to transfer a multi-entry visa good for entries through the end of December 2014 into a new passport, that it was not possible to do so (the old one was to expire in early 2015).

Instead, they simply said to bring the old, cancelled one returned from the US Department of State to show the still-valid visa in the old passport, along with the new one. (I.e., the rubber-band method mentioned above.)

Of course, this will not work for countries which do not return cancelled passports to those for whom they issue new ones.
