If you have a one year extension based on retirement and you renew your British passport, how long do you have before you have to go to immigration to have the extension transferred into the new passport?

TLDR : Answer Summary

After renewing your British passport, the time you have to transfer your one-year extension based on retirement to the new passport can vary. It depends on the specific requirements of the Immigration Office you are dealing with. Some offices may require you to do this promptly, while others might allow you to wait until your next 90-day report. Additionally, you will need a letter from your Embassy.

It depends on Immigration Office, some want you to do it directly others don't mind if you do this on your next 90 day report. You need also the letter from your Embassy.

So you pick up your passport in BKK, than become residence in Hua Hin. You need to report your address within 24 hours after arrival at Hua Hin Immigration, you can directly transfer your stamp that day.

You do 90 day reports at the Immigration Office where you got your Extension of Stay.

I’m currently in Chiang Mai but will be in Hua Hin when my next 90 reporting is due. Can I wait until I’m in Hua Hin to transfer the extension into my new passport? Thanks

I’m collecting my passport from the Visa Application Centre in Bangkok (not the embassy). Will they still give me the letter or do I have to go to the embassy and get it?

The embassy will give you a letter with the statement why you changed passport and that the new passport is genuine.
