transfer thai visa into new passport
Had a new passport issued in BKK. The arrival stamp still beeing in the old one (now cancelled but I still have it).
Today I tried to transfer the arrival stamp into the new passport and went to Immigration in Chaeg Wattana. Was then directed to IT Square Building at Lak Si where Thai Immigration has other visa related counters. The lady at the booth told me i dont need to transfer the visa into my new passport. Just show up at the airport with both passport and leave with no problem.
Has anybody recently left Thailand on a new passport with the entry stamp beeing in the old one? I have already had a lot of trouble getting the new passport in BKK and would love to avoid more problems (missing another flight) while messing with immigration exiting Thailand.
Googling I cannot find confirmation...some websites say that you have to transfer. I am confused.

You can just leave with both passports, you got correct advice.
Unless you apply for an extension, immigration offices within Thailand are usually unwilling to transfer your arrival stamp.

Re: transfer thai visa into new passport
leave with both passports No Problem
BUT if ur in Thailand on 1 year extension's at some time your going to need go to the immigration that issued ur first extension in ur old passport an get this stamp
it states what passport you came in on /when and what visa and the entry stamp for that date/immigration and other info
if u came in on a visa exempt or tourist visa ....nothing needed to do, just show both passports at immigration an du will be stamped out on new one
i am doing mine at the same time i get my new 1 year extension ( next month)

Actually I was thinking of getting an extension outside of BKK. Lets hope it will work.

Re: transfer thai visa into new passport
If you get an extension, they will (have to) transfer your arrival stamp. They can neither give you that extension in your old (invalidated) passport nor in your new one that doesn't have the arrival stamp. If you fly out without getting an extension, just take both passports - your IO will send you off to the passport transfer desk where they will transfer your arrival stamp and stamp you out.truffledog wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 5:55 pmActually I was thinking of getting an extension outside of BKK.

Went to Immigration in Trang today. They transferred my arrival stamp into the new passport and got an extension within 30 minutes. Best ever experience at any immigration so far. Heaven compared to the endless queues in BKK.
