Can I extend my Thai visa while waiting for a new passport if my visa expires before it arrives?
Is it true if im applying for new passport and my visa ends December 30th I cant extend on the temp one they give me until my new one arrives?
Answer summary
The discussion involves a user's concern about the inability to extend their Thai visa using a temporary passport while waiting for a new one. Comments clarify that temporary documents may lead to a process where stamps can be transferred to the new passport once it arrives, but there may be specific conditions and procedures to follow with Thai Immigration.

OPwell i wasnt planning to travel back yet. I was told id get a temp one from bangkok they swap stamps i have to show immigration with a letter and when my proper english passport arrives from the uk i then get the stamp put in that one

The UK only issue ETDs (Emergency Travel Document) if you lose your passport and need to travel urgently. I would apply for the new one as quickly as possible, and you'll have to take the damaged one to Thai Immigration and see what they say.
