Transfer of "one year extension" on a new passport. Which queue in Chaengwatana?

[geovalin]

I got a new passport and need to transfer 1- the visa extension, 2- re-entry.

 

1- Visa exention

 I tried to do that last Friday afternoon but I was given a queue number with the letter L. It means like if I wanted a new extension. The L queue is terrible (I gave up)) and, before to go again, I would like to be sure that the transfers are done in the L booths. Is it the case? When you go to L booths you have to arrive at 07:30...

 

By the way, I have a "transfer" form to fill. OK Do I have to fill something else?

I know that the transfer of the extension is free.

 

2- Re-entry

 

Is the transfer of the re-entry free as well?

 

Do I need to fill a re-entry form again?

 

Do I need picture / photocopies?

 

THANK YOU

It has been a few years since I last had to transfer data to my new passport but at that time I had to use L area and wait for my turn just like I was there to renew my extension. You may be better off to go in the afternoon when much of the extension que has diminished. Actually, I recommend waiting until you renew your extension.

I cannot remember the queue letter but it was not the main one but just to the left against the wall where my extension was transferred.

Thank you for your reply.

 

1- I tried the "afternoon" plan. It failed.

 

2- Wait next extension. I considered this option. I'd like to do that BUT I have to go out of the country soon and I'm afraid the immigration officer will not be that kind when I'll come back. But I guess this is legal. Right?

Just take both passports to be able to show the reentry permit. You will need the reentry number to put as the Visa Number  the TM 6 card.

1 year ago went through this exercise and took me all day at CW. Arrived around 9:15am. Same queue as getting visa extension/renewal (left side when you go in). Had my visa transferred to new passport just as the lunch bell rang. After lunch got a queue number to transfer re-entry stamp (on the right side). I was out the door by 2:30pm.  The only plus side was that it didn't cost anything. Have all your photo copies and pictures ready to save you time running downstairs.
