Hi, I have to do my first 90-day report in October but my passport is full. Is this a problem? Do they make a stamp in your passport or not?

Also, I will have to get a new UK passport soon. Does anyone know how you go about getting your Thai visa (non-immigrant O) transferred into the new passport.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about potential issues with a full passport for their upcoming 90-day report in Thailand and the process for transferring a Thai non-immigrant O visa to a new UK passport. It's clarified that a stamp will not be made in the passport during the report process; instead, a confirmation slip is provided. For the transfer of the visa, the user needs to visit a local immigration office with both the old and new passports, as the visa itself cannot be transferred, but the extension stamp can be. Additional comments regarding UK passport renewal processes in Thailand are provided, including timelines and document requirements.

I think the OP has enough information about 90 day reports and transferring stamps. I'm closing comments.

I went through the transfer of stamps to a new passport earlier this year. Very easy exercise. Attached is what you need.

However, there is one thing that is not listed that I was asked for and that was a copy of my bank book together with a copy of it showing that (on the day of visiting Chaengwattana) I had 800,000 baht in my account. So you cannot update your bank book the day before. It has to be on the day of application.

The form you download from the Immigration website.

Getting a new UK passport in Thailand at the moment is taking a couple of months. Consul only working 3 day week.

Ray Derrick make sure you have all your colour copying done. VFS is B30 per copy if you forget.

@Peter ******
in case anyone doesn't know, VFS is the sole source authorized agent for British passports, everyone from the UK have to use them.

You can just walk in for Passport renewals

You can't transfer a visa, but you can get your extension stamp transferred to the new passport.

90-day report conformation is a slip of paper they will either staple or paper clip near the end of your passport. No page required.

No, they will not put a stamp in your passport.

You will take both of your passports to the local immigration office, and ask them to transfer your extension of stay from your old passport to your new passport.

I transferred my visa over a couple of days ago. When I got the new PP at Trendy they also gave me a consular letter to give to immigration
