Just got my new uk passport needing visas transferred,and the second renewal of my marriage visa extension is due 24 January. Will immigration do all this at the same time ? I have a number of detail questions relating to this as follows:

24 th is a Sunday so do I have to go by Friday 22nd?

There is a proforma form signed by embassy requesting immigration transfer visa to new passport which I have to fill in myself. Mostly self explanatory but where it says "date entered thailand " is that the original date I came in on the visa or the date I returned from trip abroad in August?

On type of visa do I put non immigrant O or should I add "marriage" as well?

Will I need to have copy of my old passport as well as the new one ( which being new will just be one page)?

Can I use the 3 photos of wife and I in the house from last year or will I need new ones?

My last 90 day report was 9 November with the next report date shown as matching date of visa extension expiry which is less than an additional 90 days . I presume it resets itself from date of new visa ?

I'm familiar with the other usual documentation needed ( marriage certificate,wife's I'D card,house book ,income letter etc) but would be grateful for guidance on the points I mentioned that I'm unfamiliar with. I'm changing from money in bank option to income letter this time so do they still need my bank book?

Korat is my office ,so if any additional specific points I haven't asked comes from anyone with recent experience there I am also grateful.

You could do your extension now. You loose nothing by doing it early.

You can get the stamps transferred and apply for your extension of stay during the same trip to immigration.

Date of entry is you last entry. For visa put non immigrant O.

At most offices you will need a copy of every page of your old passport that has a stamp or visa for here. Just the photo page of your new passport,

You should have new photos.

You will need to do a 90 day report. The extension does not count as doing a report.

For you extension applications first attach only the photo page of your new passport and then get copies of the stamps they put in your new passport.to attach.

You will only need your income letter.

All done; I thought I'd just add that I was charged 200 baht for the transfers,but as the whole process was conducted smoothly and by the friendly avuncular officer who remembered us from last year I don't mind. We bought them all some coffees and snacks as they are all quite friendly and helpful in Korat office and no harm in keeping them sweet .

I didn't think it worth raising as a separate post ,but Joe,you might like to know that I had an income letter from the embassy that I got in November for practical reasons as you told me it was valid for six months. I noticed it quoted my old passport number that was appropriate at the time. I contacted the embassy as I was worried about that and they said they would send me a new one if I just scanned and emailed a copy when I got the new one. I did this on Monday 11th when it arrived and sure enough it arrived on Saturday by EMS with no extra charge from embassy. They were very helpful and thought this information might be valuable for you and others.
