you could copy my stamped pages. There is nothing on individual passport pages that indicate which passport they came from. No numbers, your name isnt on any extension of stay. If you have a copy of the original visa then they may accept your extensions as valid

I will give it go

@Ch***

. After all every page has the passport number on it, so it is enough to show that this pages belong to your passport.

you are most likely going to have a problem :/ That's because the way it works is

If you're on a 30 day visa exempt entry they can look up your arrival information,

If you're on a 30 day extension off a 30 day visa exempt entry or a tourist vsia they can look up your information,

BUT

Sometimes if you're on the original entry from the 60 day tourist visa you got from a thai consulate they can find your entry history BUT can't prove you had a single entry tourist visa. Either they make you show your receipt from buying it OR they send you to the ministry of foreign affairs office (out near the immgration building on Chaengwattana) and they contact the consulate that sold you the visa, get them to fax proof and you use that to go get a 30 day extension on it.

They stop giving queue numbers out at 3:30 out at Chaengwattana, BUT if you get a queue number you will be served today. I'd say blow off the thai class and get your permission to stay sorted out FIRST.

I got the SETV in Penang and didn’t make the 30 days extension yet. Hopefully I have photocopies of my old passport stamps, hope this will make it smoother then .
