Hello, everyone. I'm an international student studying in Bangkok on an ED visa. Recently, I traveled back to my country to renew my passport. Prior to leaving Bangkok, I obtained a re-entry stamp. When I returned to Thailand, the immigration officer at the airport made a note in my new passport about my previous ED visa without providing further instructions.
So, I'm uncertain about whether I need to visit the immigration office for an additional stamp on my new passport. Has anyone experienced something similar or can provide some guidance?
Thank you ๐๐ป
