So I’m not sure if ok to ask this here or not but here goes, I just got my non O 1 year visa. My passport is now full, I live in Bangkok(Bang Sue). Is there an easy way to get new passport in Bangkokand get my Visa transferred?
Answer summary
After obtaining a new passport in Bangkok, you will need to take both your old passport and the new one, along with a letter from your embassy confirming the passport change, to the immigration office at the Chaengwattana Government Complex. They will assist you in transferring your extension stamps and any re-entry permits. Note that the process may differ if you have a visa obtained from a Thai consulate abroad versus an extension of stay from within Thailand.

Be that as it may, ;)

Once you get your new passport, you take the old one, the new one and the letter the US consulate gives you stating you got a new passport to the immigration office and they will transfer your extension stamps and any re-entry permits you have.

It's a free service at the immigration office out at the Chaengwattana Government Complex.

Now the real question IS

Do you have a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa you got from a thai consulate in another country?

OR

Do you have a year long extension of stay that you got from the immigration office inside the country?

It makes a difference on what you do once you get your new passport

It's okay, many people think they have a year long visa.

I just wanted you to know what stamp you have that allows you to stay here. :)

I posted below what to do once your new passport comes in. (y)

Good Luck

I say you used an agent because an in country 90 day Non-O is 2000baht from the immigration office, a year extension is 1900baht and a multiple re-entry permit is 3800baht taking the total to 7700baht.

IF

you paid more you paid someone to push the paper for you at the immigration office

@Donnie ******
No you didn't, I would BET you used an agent to get you a 90 day Non-O visa and then a yearly extension of stay. One last time there is NO such thing as a year-long, Non-O visa that you can get inside the country.

IF you have a stamp like this in your passport you do NOT have a Non-O visa you have an extension of stay.

Donnie Evans there is no such thing as a year long Non-O inside of thailand. If you paid 1900baht at an immigration office you got a year long "extension of stay".

you make an appointment with the American Citizen Services division of the US Consulate here in Bangkok at this website and you go apply for a new passport.

Go to immigration and ask them to direct you to the desk that handles this

Thai immigration has an office specifically for this purpose

Or just staple both your passports together.

I really can’t see this being an issue.

Immigration can and will transfer an extension of stay stamp. They will not transfer a visa.

Thai immigration office can transfer visa. Ask your embassy for a letter requesting transfer.

The answer depends on whether you actually have a visa, or an extension of stay.

Just get a new passport. Carry both as evidently visa’s don’t get transferred. Anyway that’s what I was told and that’s how it worked for me.
