ORIGINAL POSTERQuick question, lost passport, not mine.
He is from South Africa, and needs his non b, so he will get a temporary passport, Is it possible to get a non b on a Temporary passport?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by a South African individual who lost his passport and is in need of a Non-B visa in Thailand. It is confirmed that he can apply for a Non-B visa using a temporary passport, but he must get the entry stamp from his original Non-B visa in his new temporary passport. Additionally, there are concerns about the acceptance of temporary passports in various countries and the necessity of obtaining a Non-B visa either by applying anew or transferring it from the old passport.

He'd definitely need to go to the immigration office and get the entry stamp from the original Non-B stamped into the new passport (even if it's just a temporary passport) so he can exit the country.

He might need to prove that he bought the visa with the receipt from the consulate OR he might have to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office here in Bangkok and have them contact the consulate he got the visa at so they can prove he really did get it. I have seen them do that to people who had copies of a Non-B but not the receipt that they bought it

ORIGINAL POSTERHe is in kalasin but before he was in Bkk I'm assuming he can just go into the khon kaen office for his stamp

ORIGINAL POSTEROK I will inform him of that

Can I transfer my Non-B visa to a new passport and get a re-entry permit at the airport in Thailand?
