Hi dears.

I just did a new passaport and I am in BKK but live at phangan. To transfer the visa (nonb visa expired 5may) to the new passaport can I go to any immigration office or should I go to the one in BKK.

How is the waiting time here for it in Bkk? Do I need appointment?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about transferring their expired Non-B visa from an old passport to a new one while in Bangkok, and whether they need to go to a specific immigration office or any office. Responses indicate that only the stamp from the visa needs to be transferred, while the actual visa remains valid in the old passport. It's also noted that carrying both passports together when exiting the country is sufficient.

Then you don't go to the immigration office for anything

.

Just rubber band both passports together and when you can exit the country you show them both.

The VISA in the old passport is still valid until it expires and they will stamp you in and out on the new passport from it

are you on a Non-B VISA <-where you bounce out and back in to the country every 90 days OR are you on an "extension of stay" based on employment <- where you do 90 day reporting at the immigration office?

As far as I am aware only the stamp is transferred over to the new passport. The actual visa will stay in the original passport and you just show it every time you enter.

Actually IF they are on a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type visa where they bounce out and back every 90 days they don't go get anything transferred to the new passport.

They carry both passports when they exit the country and they will get stamped out on the new one. They would also carry both passports until the visa sticker expires in the old one (and they'd get stamped in and out on the new one from the visa)
