Can my husband extend his visa with a second passport while waiting for a new one?

This is starting to become one of those "me too!" threads. I'm going to close comments. You got good advice. Good luck! If someone wants the post open, send a mod a message.

No 30 day visa available

In the United States of America you can also have 2 passports from the USA . This what the USA embassy in Bangkok told me

I had the similar problem recently. Was shocked that they can't transfer visa to the 2nd passport, require only NEW. Luckily I had enough time and half of page free to put on yearly extension stamp while waiting for the new passport.

Immigration told me that they can use "special notes" pages for stamps if your embassy would give the letter that they allow to do so (mine didn't). Try with yours, maybe it can be a solution

You said the passport is full SO whether he applied for the 60 day visit family extension, a 60 day unable to travel extension OR a year extension based on retirement they ALL take up the same (or more) space. So he's done until he gets his passport renewed.

A replacement UK passport took under 2 weeks door to door when I last did it here. Has that now changed?

Why would someone have 2 passports from the same country? Obviously I am missing something.

You said the immigration office already told him no they wouldn't do it.

I don't know what you want to hear from the group. :/

I have personally never heard of them using a second passport (on the people who have two from the same country) and moving extensions from one to the other

Your husband should have checked with the immigration office long before this

AND

he should have applied for a new passport months ago when he knew his current passport was full and he couldn't get an extension in it.

If it's totally full he can't even apply for a 60 day 'unable to travel' extension (as that takes up actually MORE space than a year extension does).

Sadly this sounds like a problem of your husbands own making, not checking with the immigration office before he went to get his extension AND not renewing the full passport that has his extension in it in time to get the new extension.

Is the passport completely full??

You cannot change passports (from one country to another) when getting yearly extensions inside the country.
