Allstars Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I soon need to renew my retirement extension but my passport expires in August. Last time this happened it wasn't an issue as they first gave me till August, and in August they stamped the remaining months in my new passport. Is this still possible or has something changed?

You would get an extension until August (expiry date) and then do a completely new application with your new passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means twice all the paperwork and twice 1900 Baht? Will get my new passport first then, but it's quite a disadvantage, because our passports are only 5 year of which I will now lose another 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldozer Dawn Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I just did my retirement extension. Passport is a long way off expiring however it is almost full with just a few pages blank. I asked the senior IO what happens if I get a new passport. She told me just come in an we will transfer your stamp over to you new passport.

Not what the OP asks about. Existing/valid extensions are transferred to new passport. Same to me last year. Had extension until October. Passport valid till March. Got me new passport in July and let the stamps transfer. Then before October applied for new extension stamped in new passport. Lost 8 months of pp validity. Fortunately it's a 10 yr validity.

Lovethailandelite Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 3 minutes ago, stevenl said: My country does not, do you know of any countries that do that? The UK does. I think it's up to 9 months added. So a UK passport which is valid for 10 years could in fact become 10yrs and 9 months if you had up to 9 months left on your previous passport and applied for a new one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked, you're right, the UK is an exception on this. Up to 9 months can be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of the old validity will that add. I have a passport that is almost full but out of pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got excellent advice on your other thread on this. WRT passport - mine was under 6 months and that was added to the term of the new passport in BKK - but 5 years ago.
