March 9, 201511 yr slightly off topic but related to airport departure. when flying out of Thailand 6 weeks ago i was held up by immigration for half an hour because my passport (issued by my embassy in Bangkok) did not have an entry stamp. even though all 10 former extensions were transferred to the new passport, the lack of an entry stamp caused considerable confusion. after three officers discussed the case they decided to add some handwriting and a stamp thus "substituting" what was missing. TIT for sure! Looks like something went with the transfer. When they transfer your extension of stay they also should stamp a new entry stamp into your new passport with your latest entry details. just checked my wife's passport which was also issued by our embassy in BKK. like mine 10 extensions but no entry stamp except the one when she arrived the first time with her new passport from abroad. That is the only entry stamp that is needed. Once the extension of stay is done for that entry all that is needed is the most recent extension stamp.
