An American expat on a NON-O visa extension is seeking advice on how to handle the TM30 form upon returning to Thailand with a new passport. Important steps include obtaining a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand, carrying both the old and new passports when returning, and submitting the TM30 with the new passport after arrival. It’s also recommended to visit the local immigration office to transfer the visa extension to the new passport.
