Have been approved for Non O retirement visa, traveling over end of May. My passport got damaged and I have had to order a new passport in Dublin Ireland. Do I have to advise London embassy who issued the visa non O or do I just show the two passport on entry. My new passport number will differ from the application.
Answer summary
The user has been approved for a Non-O retirement visa but has received a new passport due to damage to the old one. They are asking whether they need to inform the embassy about the passport change or if they can just present both passports upon entry to Thailand. Responses suggest that they can use the new passport to enter Thailand and should transfer the Non-O visa stamp at Immigration, while also advising them to communicate with the issuing consulate about the damaged passport.

You can use your new passport to enter Thailand. Once you arrive, go to Immigration to transfer the Non-O visa stamp from your old passport to your new one.

Thailand isn't keen on damaged passports so as well you got a new one. At a guess I'd say it's going to depend on just how damaged the old one is. I'd suggest explaining the situation to the consulate that issued the visa and see what they say
