Hi,

I've just received my new uk passport so need to go to Jomtien immigration to transfer my existing visa, stamps etc.

Apart from the old passport and letter from the British embassy is there any other paperwork needed. Thanks
Answer summary
To transfer your existing visa and stamps from an old UK passport to a new one at Jomtien Immigration, you will need to provide the following paperwork: your old passport, new passport, a letter from the British embassy, and possibly a change passport form obtained at the office. While some users indicated that copies of passports and stamps might not be required depending on the immigration office, others suggested it could vary, with some offices being stricter than others. It's also advisable to bring some cash for any fees that might be charged for services or copies.

You we’re scammed. Transferring stamps should be free. Perhaps they make that charge for doing all the copies you need for you. Not sure which is better. 20 baht to do copies yourself or 500 baht for them to do it for you.

Jomtien seems to be one of the strictest so I will get copies of passports and stamps

OP asked what paperwork they needed to get stamps transferred from one passport to another. Sort of a bit of a given that you’d need the passports to be able to do that.

"Paperwork needed"....maybe some THB bills to "pay" for the stamp transfer?

Another TM-8 for re-entry permit if required and some more THB for the stamp.

Don't forget your blue ink pen...🤔

get it transferred and if it's not an OA retirement visa then make sure you get a re-entry permit in your new passport along with your visa extension.
