Is it temporary or emergency passport? You may have to return to your home country first.

@Olivier ******

you need a certificate from the police reporting it lost. That is your first step BEFORE going to immigration 🤗

If you're on an extension of stay that you got from the immigration office here in Bangkok to recover stamps of a lost or stolen passport you have to go to IT Square Laksi plaza first

THEN

you would go to the main immigration office at Chaengwattana to recover the extension stamp and any re-entry permit (if you got the re-entry permit at that office too)

You need THESE forms and the documents it asks for

so I got my extension visa at chaengwattana immigration (initially 3 months). So I go there tomorrow right. I got my re entry permit and entry stamp at don mueang . I m taking a flight from there on Thursday.

To my understanding I just need to go to Chaengwattana right ?
