Is a letter from the British embassy required for transferring my BOI visa to a new passport?

I believe that the OP has the answers needed for his question.

Thanks All for your helpful replies.

Your employer is a day late and a dollar short about you needing that embassy letter to transfer your stamps to the new passport.

AND

seeing as you're on a BOI 2 year visa if you're in bangkok you use Cham Churi Square's One Stop Service Center and they totally know there is no letter anymore

Just an aside, it got so bad at some immigration offices when the US stopped issuing the letter with passport renewals that the US embassy ACS division here had to come up with an official letter saying they didn't give the letter anymore 😮

UK had stopped issuing a letter to verify old/new passports. Check your new passport if that has information about your old passport. and There was a report that the immigration officer asked for a receipt of passport issuance instead of a letter.

Had a scout around and found this c05cff/Information_Note_Visa_transfer_to_new_passport.pdf

No idea if documented somewhere but it’s the case. The embassy no longer issue passport renewal letters. Immigration are well aware of this.
