Do I need to transfer my immigration stamp to my new UK passport in Udon Thani immediately, or can it wait until my 90-day report in August?

Hi there, ive just received my new uk passport in the post together with my old one which would have expired in june next year. Is there a requirement to go into immigration in udon thani to have the stamp transferred tommorrow. It expires october 3 this year and my 90 day report is due in august. I am here as a retired person. Not sure if it is ok to wait until august and take both passports with me or if i will face a fine for not doing it sooner. Thanks for any replies.

Most immigration offices have no problem with you waiting until your next 90 day report to have them move the stamps to the new passport.

I am not aware of an exact time limit to transfer an extension of stay stamp into a new passport I believe it is more of in a timely manner unwritten rule. If you go to the Immigration office to do your 90 day reports you could do it then which would be best. Or probably even wait until you do your extension in October. But as far as having to do it tomorrow, no. It is also a free service to transfer your stamps.
