gordyg1960 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi looking for some guidance can i get my Visa transferred from my old passport to my new passport at Bangkok Immigration Division 1 near Don Meuang Airport ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 No, visas itself are not transferred. You will have to use your new passport in combination with your old passport when you enter the country, while the visa itself is still valid.

Suradit69 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) If you mean a non-imm O-A visa, as Mario said you need to show old and new passport. If you leave Thailand on a valid O-A, when you return to Thailand immigrations will put your new permission to stay in your new passport, but until the visa expires you'll need to present both passports. If you mean you have an extension of stay based on retirement (not a visa) and a multi-entry re-entry permit, then you should go to an immigration office with form : http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/files/file/20-transfer-stamp-to-a-new-passport-form/ and they will transfer the information into the new passport, but not the actual visa you used when you entered. Some offices will also need a letter from your embassy verifying that you were issued a new passport. Edited January 5, 2015 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 As this is regarding a visa/extension in Thailand, I'll move your thread to the appropriate forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Immigration do not transfer Visas. They transfer Immigration stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 On the same/similar subject - I will be renewing my retirement extension in mid February and then immediately applying for my new UK passport via BKK embassy. If for some reason the new passport doesn't get back to me within 90 days (I've heard a few horror stories about lengthy delays), what am I supposed to do regarding the 90 day reporting?

You don't apply for your passport at the embassy. It is done at the VFS offices at Trendy tower. You will still have your existing passport to do your 90 day report if needed. They don't stamp it or mark it until you get your new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
