OA visa has expired, now on the additional stamped in second year which will expire on January 5th 2021 Have a multiple re-entry permit up until then. If I apply for a new passport (current one is full) in October 2020 whilst in Australia, how does this affect my re-entry permit? If I carry both passports to show IO at airport will this suffice? And can I get re-entry permit transferred to new passport once inside Thailand?
Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
If you apply for a new passport while on an OA visa with a valid multiple re-entry permit, you can travel with both passports to show the immigration officer upon your return to Thailand. Ensure you note your re-entry permit number on your arrival card. After returning, visit your local immigration office to transfer your re-entry permit to your new passport.
