Hello, my passport was stolen in Thailand, I applied for a new passport from my country's consulate and will receive it next week.

My new passport does not have an entry stamp for Thailand.

Can I leave Thailand?

Or do I have to go to the immigration office to get a Thailand entry stamp in my new passport?@
Answer summary
If your passport was stolen in Thailand and you have obtained a new passport, you may be able to leave the country, but there are important steps to follow. You should report the theft to the police and obtain a report, which is essential for rectifying your immigration status. It's advisable to present this report along with your new passport to the immigration office to have your entry stamp transferred. While some users mentioned that the immigration system could associate your biometric data with your old passport, addressing the situation with the immigration authorities beforehand is crucial to avoid any issues at the airport.

I got new passport in Malaysia. It wasn't stolen but damaged. I offered to give the immigration my old passport and new at the border but they said they didn't need the old one. Obviously different country difference circumstances but my new passport was different number than my old damaged one.

In this case it’s better to go to immigration office and explain the problem to them. Because your passport was stolen, you don’t have the record of your entry stamp, to show the IO on your next exit. However, Thai immigration have your biometric data, so it’s very easy for them to link you in their system to your old passport. They have all the records of every entry and exit from Thailand. They will then issue you with a stamp in your new passport.

If you don't report the theft of your passport to the police right away, the thief may use it to obtain bank loans that you will eventually have to pay back

Thank you, no, it's not a problem because I reported it to the police an hour after the robbery.

Based on what I have heard of and experienced during my 8+ years in Thailand, foreigners have a hard time getting any kind of loan (except perhaps from a pawn shop) even with their own passport, let alone with someone else’s passport

You have to go to the police first, report the stolen passport. They give you a letter about it, and you go with that and your new passport to immigration

Your embassy should give you a letter to take to immigration to get your entry stamp transferred.

I done this last week ( Australian passport)
