Hi all, I have renewed my passport, so now I have both an old passport and a new one.
When I re-enter Thailand, if I show both passports to the immigration officer,
do I still need to go to the immigration office again to update or renew my visa?
Or is it okay to enter and exit Thailand just by carrying both passports without doing anything else?
Please share your experiences.
Thanks in advance 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
When re-entering Thailand with a renewed passport, you must present both your old and new passports to the immigration officer. The visa is linked to the old passport, but the entry stamp will be placed in the new passport. Generally, there is no need to visit the immigration office for updating your visa unless you want to ensure a reference to your old passport is noted in the new one. Always check that the entry stamp is correctly placed before leaving the airport and carry both passports during your stay.
