Hey guys. I plan on going immigration tomorrow to transfer my current extension stamp to my new passport. I'm American, and I have a letter from my embassy late last month when I got the new passport.

Question (since I found it difficult to find information on this): what exactly do I need to bring to immigration tomorrow? Copies of my entire old passport? Main page in new passport? Is there a form that I need to fill out for immigration (this is at CW btw).

Thanks!

You should just need copies your old passport's photo page, your last visa, entry stamp from that visa, and your current extension stamp. If you have a valid re-entry permit a copy of it also.

Copy of your new passport's photo page.

From a recent report they will give you a form to fill out. The downloadable one on their website will not be accepted.

Hmm, ironically bizarre in the extreme since the downloadable form is addressed specifically to the Inspector of Sub-Division 2, Bangkok Immigration Division and most (if not all) other offices still accept this form despite that! But, hey, TIT after all!!

I have heard of some offices having their own form and not accepting it. But CW not accepting it was a shock,

I did this last week at CW using the downloaded (Inspector of Sub-Division 2) form - the Information Desk clerk did a double-take at my form, looked at their form, looked again at mine but in the end waved me on, the Queue Desk officer didn't bat an eye and gave me a queue ticket, the officer putting the stamps in my new passport and the supervisor signing off on it all didn't even cast a glance at the form or the photocopies I presented, they only looked at the passports

but as is usually the case your mileage may vary on the day - my past experiences have ranged the full gamut from petty games and ad hoc new requirements at the officer's whim, to officers who seem genuinely helpful and somewhere in between where they at least try to do their best regardless of what the silly falung present with and what their superiors seem to be pushing this week :-)
