Hi Again.

I have a visa Non-O one year that expire 24 July, with re-entry stamp in my old passport.

Because short of time i couldn't extend my visa in Thailand so I had to apply for a new Non-O visa in in my new passport.

My account told me I have to enter Thailand after 24 July to get my 90 days because I have a re-entry until 24 July but that is in my old passport.

That doesn't sound right to me because I enter on my new passport with new Visa.

Or do my re-entry is in the computer system so they follow that?

How to do wait or go?

Answer summary

A user inquires about the validity of their Non-O visa and re-entry permit when switching to a new passport. They face a timeline where their re-entry permit expires on July 24, but their new Non-O visa is in their new passport. They seek clarification on whether they need to wait until their re-entry permit expires to enter Thailand or if they can use their new visa immediately. A comment indicates that the extension and re-entry are linked in the immigration database, suggesting that they should consult an immigration officer to clarify their situation.

Your Extension of Stay with the Re-Entry Permit are registered in the Immigration Database. Just using a new passport does not change your fingerprints, face, name, dob, gender, nationality etc, only change your passport number. It will be linked.

If you want to enter before 24 July you have to discuss with the Immigration Officer to use the NEW visa and not the Re-Entry Permit.

Ok.

So if I have a new passport and a new visa (I applied for a new passport and it took so long time so I didn't have time to do my one year extension in Thailand, they wanted application 1mth in advance) will that be in conflict with my old passport where I have the re-entry?

Thanks for reply.

Or you can enter using the new passport and the new visa after 24 July. Bring the old passport with you just in case questions are made.

Or you can enter before 24 july but than you have to ask the Immigration Officer to use the new passport and the new visa.

I guess these are the what if, if what and if you have or if you do not have possibilities. Save travels.

You can re-enter Thailand before 24 July, using the re-entry permit and visit the Immigration before 24 July to apply for a new Extension of Stay. It is not 1 month in advance but during the last 30 days of your permitted to stay period.
