koolaukid Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm planning a trip to Jordan, Egypt and Israel the end of this summer and have only one blank page left in my US passport. As the Embassy no longer adds pages to passports it seems obvious I need to get a new one. In addition, my Thai retirement extension is due for renewal in August. Do I need to get a new retirement visa now or can I transfer the old one to a new passport? Is it even necessary to transfer the retirement visa? If I need to transfer the old visa is there a way to renew it so I don't have to repeat the process when the current one expires in August?

ubonjoe Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Immigration will transfer your stamps and do a stamp with info about the visa that allowed the entry you have been extending. Do you still have a valid visa in your passport or only an extension of stay stamp you are calling a visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipse Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So you have an extension of stay. Not a Visa. Immigration will transfer your extension into your new passport. No fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeniau96 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Get the new passport ASAP. The demand for passports will jump greatly as the summer travel season gets going. Currently should have about 10 day turnaround (USA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey346 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I 2 open pages and added pages in December when Thai Immigration told me that I need at least 6 open pages to travel internationally. The US Consulate told me 2 open pages. In any event, you need a new passport now that pages can not be added... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozyjon Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You need at least 6 open pages to travel internationally but you could try your luck, in Australia, the UK, or US i wouldn't try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyjim5 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Visiting Jordan, Egypt and Israel ? Be careful because you may not be allowed to enter Jordan or Egypt with Israeli stamps/visa in your passport ..................................... Careful planning is required.
