Do I need to transfer my visa extension to my new passport before leaving Thailand?

Visa Transfer Marriage Visa Immigration Rules Non-O Visa Thailand Visa Emergency Travel

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello dear fellow group members. 

I received my new passport 1 week ago, but haven't had the time to go to Chaeng Watthana immigration yet to transfer the visa extension based on marriage to a thai citizen into the new passport. I was planning to go this week or next week. However, a family emergency has occured that kept me quite busy in the past few days and I must fly to Canada ASAP. 

Question: Do I need to do the transfer before I leave the country, or can I just bring both the old and new passport to airport immigration and they'll let me go? Any consequence to this?

Thank you and sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm under a lot of stress right now as my father is dying and I can't think straight. Grateful for any advice in this matter.

If you are not back before the last date of your permission to stay date, it has absolute no value to buy a re-entry permit as that will be valid until the same date.

Look up the requirements for a new Non Immigrant O visa based on being married to a Thai National, bring all needed copies on the trip and apply for a new visa while abroad.
