I lost my passport and just received my new one so now I have to go to Chaeng watthana immigration to transfer visa stamp. Is it the same queue as for the 30 days extension ? Is it possible to manage to make it in the afternoon as I have Thai class every morning ? Thanks for your advices 🙏🏻

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user needs to transfer their visa stamp after receiving a new passport following the loss of their original one and has questions about the procedure at Chaeng Watthana Immigration. They are inquiring whether they will be in the same queue for a 30-day extension and if it’s feasible to handle this in the afternoon around their Thai class schedule. Participants shared insights about potential challenges in the process and emphasized the need to prioritize the immigration task over the class.
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
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 .
