Hi All,
I've just got a new passport. Immigration in Samui said I don't need to transfer my visa exemption stamp (already extended 30 days) into the new passport for a border bounce - I just need to show both passports leaving and stamp the new passport reentering Thailand.
My visa run agent said I definitely do need to transfer the stamp to the new passport as they can't do this process at the particular border (Khuan Don, Malaysia).
Can anyone shed any experience or knowledge about which way works?
Thanks ๐
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user recently acquired a new passport and is seeking clarification on whether they need to transfer their visa exemption stamp (already extended by 30 days) to the new passport for a border bounce. Immigration in Samui indicated that showing both passports would suffice, while their visa run agent suggested that the stamp must be transferred, especially since the specific border crossing at Khuan Don, Malaysia, does not allow for passport exchanges. Comments from other users indicate that both perspectives may be correct, with one advising that flying out is necessary to avoid complications.
