Good evening to all, thank you in advance for the help, I have two question:

the first is that my one year non immigrant O visa married to Thai will expire on 28 may 2025, my passport will expire on 12 may 2026, can I will apply for a new visa with the actual passport or I need to renew the passport before apply to the new annual visa?

The second question: if I have to renew the passport I need to go to the immigration office to transfer the actual visa to the new passport or I can use the two passport to move around?

Thank you again.
Answer summary
A user inquires about applying for a new visa while having a valid non-immigrant O visa set to expire after their passport. They ask if they can apply for a new visa with their current passport or if they need to renew it first. The response clarifies that they can use the current passport for the application, but if the passport is less than one year valid at the time of the next extension, the extension will only be valid until the passport's expiration. It is advisable to renew the passport before the next immigration application, and upon receiving a new passport, they must transfer the visa stamps from the old passport for travel and immigration purposes.

It's your decision when you want to apply for a new passport.

You can apply for the next extension with the current passport. But when a passport is valid for less than 1 year, your next extension is until your passport validity, so the next extension will be until 12 May 2026 (and the same date for the following yearly extensions).

If you get a new passport, you can apply for it as usual.

Usually, we tell people to renew their passports before the next application at the immigration office. But seeing the difference in extension is just a half month, it's totally up to you.

When you get a new passport, soon or later you have to move stamps from your old one to your new passport, at least before travelling or the next immigration-related application at the local immigration office.
