Can I travel with a Non-O visa in my old passport if I have a new passport?
I’ve just got a new passport, but my Non-O visa is in my old passport (still have it, but the corner has been clipped off). I’m not on an extension, but would like to leave on 22nd - do I have to transfer the stamp? Or can it be handled at the airport, by giving them both my old and new passport at immigration?
Answer summary
The user inquired about the procedure for traveling with a Non-O visa located in their old passport while they have recently obtained a new passport. Responses from the community varied, with some suggesting that the visa cannot be transferred and that both passports should be presented at immigration, while others mentioned that the stamp could be transferred if handled at the immigration office. Overall, it appears that while many travelers keep both passports for the visa, there is some possibility of transferring the stamp depending on circumstances.

Go to immigration ASAP and they can handle it. You will get a form, but take a full photocopy of your old passport and the face page of the new one.

You cant transfer a visa, only the stamps. Keep both passports if the visa is still validShayne **********

at some point he will have to go to immigration, so why not just do it! The old passport is no longer valid. I transferred everything across to my new passport, it's a simple process.Steve *******

I have to disagree.... I also have a non-O and I did transfer the stamp when I got my new passport.
The sticker can’t (given by the Thai embassy) can’t be transferred.... but the 3 months (not an extension) stamp I had entering at the airport has been transferred in my new passport.
I was leaving... I went to CW bangkok... I asked and they told me I had to transfer the stamp even if I am leaving...
Now maybe they just wanted to make me lose my time... but it is transferable.
So I don’t really know if you “have to” but it is doable.

You disagree wrong, you can transfer the stamp but not the visaSteve *******

(I believe) that a visa cannot be transferred, only extensions - hence you'll need to use both passports.
