How can I keep my retirement visa in my passport while receiving a new UK passport in Thailand?

I just did this and I didn't have to go back to BKK to collect my new one - they sent it to me here in Phuket via DHL. So I now have 2 and the old one still has it's corners!

Contact (Mark’s Sending machine) he will do everything for you with regard to renewing your passport. He provides a first class service.

Apply for your new passport when your last one is within 6 months of expiry . You MUST follow the requirements here

I think you exchange

Ok I have just done this about 7 weeks ago

Take the form and your money into the passport office with your passport if you are in Bangkok you will need to make a appointment to go they will look over your form and take your money and give you a receipt for your money and form

You have to wait and once your passport has arrived they will inform you

You take your old passport with you and they will cut a corner of your old passport and then return it to you with your new passport and they will give you an form for the immigration office to fill in and you will need one more for the thai immigration to fill so you will have two forms for the thai immigration

You need two copies of your passport one for the old and the new passport

Now if you are on a retirement visa they will ask you for your bank book and a full years statement from your bank, this is what happened to me even though its not on the website for the passport renewal, I have to go to Bangkok immigration

in oct 23 get ur new extension , than when u get ur passport back send it off /apply to get a new passport>

when u get ur new one, go to immigration and your entry stamp an extension will be transferred for FREE.

As a UK citizen you can apply for a second UK passport. This is a very little known fact.

British passports are kept during the renewal and submitted when the new one arrives

No submitting your passport. You keep your old British passport. You send copies for the renewal, then take old and new passports to Immigration and they'll transfer extention of stay stamp and any re-entry permit.
