Have a tourist visa (evisa,no big sticker) in my current passport, iam currently in Thailand.

Current passport almost full, requested new passport.

Now I want pickup my new passport,- then they will make old passport invalid (last time they cut half of the passport page).

Will I be able to leave Thailand with my old invalid passport ? Or need I transfer stamp from old to new ?

Thank you guys!

Answer summary

The user, currently in Thailand with a tourist e-visa in an almost full passport, asks if they can leave Thailand with their old invalid passport after receiving a new passport. Comments suggest that bringing both passports is necessary, as immigration will help transfer the visa stamp from the old passport to the new one at the airport.

Immigration at airports do not transfer stamps, you can only do that at an Immigration Office before departing
