TLDR : Answer Summary

To transfer a visa from your old passport to a new one in Thailand, you need to fill out a specific form (the number was not provided). Make sure to create copies of every page of your old passport. Then, along with your new passport and the completed form, visit the immigration office where your visa was originally issued. The process is generally straightforward, but be prepared for potential long wait times.

There is a form. I can't remember the number. You make a copy of every page in your old passport, then along with your new passport and the form you go to immigration and get it transferred. It is quite easy, just waiting in the queue can be long, as you get it transferred from the same section that issued it to begin with. I just did it last May

What Stuart said.

In Udon Thani, old and new passport and letter your embassy knows to give you when you get the new passport.

I got charged 500฿, as usual not sure if legit or tea money but it did take them 30-40min and a fair bit of work so happy to get it done so easily.

Ive not heard of the “copy every page of your old passport” rule. When I last did mine I just took the two passports along with the letter from my embassy that said “they’ve changed from passport xyz to passport abc”. Each office tends to set their own rules so impossible to know for sure.
