ORIGINAL POSTER

Applied for a new passport late last week. They (US) said  I would get it in 3 to 4 weeks. Left for upcountry for 3 weeks. Got Email Wednesday saying they already mailed it! Question: how long do I have to transfer the extension (marriage) to my new passport (before I get in trouble at immigration)?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about the timeframe to transfer a marriage visa extension to a new passport after receiving their passport back soon after applying for it. Comments suggest that it’s best to handle the transfer before leaving the country or to do it during the next 90-day reporting, but not to delay it unnecessarily.

definitely do it before you leave the country (if you are leaving that is :) )

Hmmmm...I doubt that Thai Post will hold the passport mailing that long awaiting pickup by you before returning it to the US Embassy. Is there someone who is watching for your mail at your address? Thai Post will place a card of attempted delivery in your mailbox. You might ask a Thai friend to ask your Thai Post Office serving your address IF a friend could pick the mail up for you...with note from you and copy of current passport ???
