Do I need to transfer my tourist visa exemption to my new passport in Thailand?

@Luc ******

they cannot stamp them out on the old passport if he has a new one, that's what I'm telling you 😕

Yes, I see.

@Tod ********

hi. I have a similar situation where I have applied for my new British passport and it arrived today. I have 30 days to collect it . Last time this happened six years ago I still got the extension of 30 days on my current passport and then picked up the new one and got the stamps transferred at the border. I plan to do the same again as I'll leave after my extension runs out. As I mentioned I did that before but 6 years ago. Any more clarification on this?

@Jamie ******

In theory once you get an "extension of stay" you are supposed to go and move that to a new passport BEFORE you exit.

Not saying you can't get out the way you say, BUT just saying how it really is set up to work.

@Jamie ******

why not just go get the new passport then take BOTH to the immigration office

Have them move the stamps and get the 30 day extension inked IN the new passport ?

I mean what's the down side to that?

@Tod ********

yeah true but I would have to go to Laksi and last time even with an appointment I was stuck there for 8 hours. That was just for an extension .

@Jamie ******

now you're just making excuses and if it took you 8 hours out there something was wrong then

I was with someone with an appt this week for a 30 day extension and it took them 30 minutes and we were walking OUT back to the Pink line sky train to come back to town

I mean why ask my opinion if you're just going to do what you want 😛

@Tod ********

nothing was wrong. That was just my experience. I just asked your opinion because I value it. Anyway thanks

@Jamie ******

anyway, my point was IF you're just on an entry stamp <- which they won't move, you show both passports when you stamp out,

but

as a rule IF you get an extension you move the stamp (either when you're getting the extension OR after you got it) before you go to leave the country,

I'm sure people on free stamp/tourist visa entries have gotten extensions, gotten new passports and just left. I mean what are they gonna do? Deny you exiting?

I am only pointing out the actual way the system is supposed to work and when you move the stamps and when you don't need to.

The O/P is just leaving before their 60 days is up, without getting an extension (and an immigration office won't move an entry stamp to a new passport unless the old one is lost)

so they just leave, show both, get stamped out on the new one, with a notation they entered on a different passport number
