ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When a British expat on a non-O retirement visa re-enters Thailand with a new passport, they will typically receive a 90-day stamp as long as they present both the old and new passports at the airport. It's important to show both passports for immigration to transfer the visa. If they are on a multiple re-entry permit, they can continue to use both passports until the visa expiration. No letter is needed from VFS for renewing the passport, but maintaining the pages with valid visa and permits in the old passport is crucial.
