Exit and reentry, new passport and the epass system at the airport.

- NON O on 1year extension until 2025

- exit yesterday via ePass (stampless) with old passport (current valid passport)

- old pass port has reentry permission and extension stamped.

- getting a new passport in home country

- Reentry with old and new passport

Since I got no exit stamp via the epass how is the process to get everything in order to get back with out cancelling the 1year extension using the new passport?

I'm not in a hurry to apply for new passport still valid after 2025 but running soon out of free pages.

Could get a new passport at the embassy. Is just more effort and more expensive.

Answer summary

The user is seeking guidance on reentering Thailand with a new passport after exiting the country using the ePASS system, which did not provide a departure stamp. They hold a NON-O visa with a one-year extension valid until 2025 and plan to obtain a new passport due to running out of free pages. The response clarifies that the lack of a departure stamp is not an issue, as Thai immigration records can validate the exit. It advises showing both old and new passports upon reentry and ensuring the entry stamp reflects the NON-RE visa class to maintain the extension.

It wouldn't be a problem if you left Thailand through e-Gate without a departure stamp. Thai immigration knows your departure record on the system.

Get the new passport in your home country, and show both old and new passports at the entry to Thailand. Make sure you are stamped in for the same date with your current extension with Non-RE on visa class on your entry stamp, before leaving passport control.

Once you are back in your address in Thailand, bring both passports to the immigration office that issued your extension to apply for transfer stamps.

thanks, probably would missed the checking of correct entry stamp. Is there an example on how the entry stamp should look like?

, right. You need to get the entry stamp fixed to transfer stamps of your extension and re-entry permit
