Hello! I’m traveling to Finland next month and while I’m there I have to get a new passport. 

Obviously my visa stays in the old passport. I guess I come back to Thailand with my old and new passport but how does the process of transferring the visa from the old passport to a new one work? 

Anything particular I should know about that?

Many thanks in advance! 🙏🏻😊

Answer summary

When traveling to Finland and returning to Thailand with a new passport, you need to present both your old and new passports upon re-entry. The immigration officer will then stamp the new passport. If you have an extension of stay, visit the immigration office with both passports to have the stamps transferred. Additionally, ensure you obtain a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand to avoid invalidating your extension.

Be sure you get a re-entry permit before you leave otherwise your extension would get invalid.

you show BOTH passports when you stamp back into thailand and they'll stamp you in on the new one

then IF you have an "extension of stay" <- that you got from the immigration office you go to that office with both passports and they move the stamps to the new passport

Thanks so much! So I don’t need any other documents from anywhere? All they need at the immigration is my old and new passport? My visa is valid until December and I have multiple re-entry as well.

The Finnish Embassy doesn’t give any letters like that.

So I hope they do the transfer anyway. 😇
