A user is seeking advice on processing the transfer or restamping of their son's Non-O visa after his passport was damaged in a washing machine. They plan to visit the Immigration Division (1) in Chang Watthana and are asking for guidance on required documents and the procedure to follow. Comments provide insights about necessary documents such as both current and new passports, a TM30 form, and potentially a letter from the embassy. It is advised to go to the same counter that issued the extension and to be aware of the possibility that damaged passports may not be returned by the embassy.

You go to counter, get a passport transfer form and take the copies of old and new passport ... They might ask your embassy to confirm its damaged but not a big deal as you're old passport and visa is on the computer.

Another issue is, in some cases if the passport is damaged, the embassy will not return it to you. I had this happen when my picture page got wet. I was able to fly home with it but was told when arriving home (Canada) by immigration to replace with a new passport as I would not be able to fly out with the current one. I went and had a new one reissued and marked on the paperwork "please return old passport" and was informed this option is not available when passport is deemed damaged. I lost my visas.

I hope this is not the case with you, but just a heads up.

Good luck.

The REAL question is, was your son on the 90 day entry from the Non-O VISA or were they already on an "extension of stay"?

AND

If they are on the 90 day entry stamp from the Non-O did they get the visa in their country before they came here OR did they get it issued inside the country after they were here?

You go to the counter that issued your son's extension at Chaengwattana. Bring both passports, TM30, and the embassy letter if your embassy still issues one. The Immigration Office would know which embassies are still issuing and which are not.
