Hello all

I have a work permit with visa and an Austrian passport. I need to leave to my home country to extend my passport. I need to go first to the immigration for a stamp for reentry, right? And everything that is important will be transmitted to my new passport, right?

Thanks for advice

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is an expat in Thailand who holds a work permit and an Austrian passport and needs to leave Thailand to renew their passport. They ask if they must obtain a reentry stamp and whether their visa will be transferred to the new passport. Community responses confirm that the user should obtain a reentry permit before leaving, present both old and new passports at customs upon return, and visit immigration to transfer their visa stamps after arriving back in Thailand.

Yes get re-entry permit before you leave, when you travel back, you have to present both the old and new passport at passport control, they will put new entry stamp in your new passport. Then you have to go to imigration to get your visa-extension of stay stamps transfered. Do a new tm30 on your return.

After you return to Thailand with both passports, yes to move the stamps at the immigration office you will need to fill in a form and produce copies of passports etc, see the relevant question here in the Q&A.
