ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I've gotten a new passport but the passport office didn't mention anything about my stamp.

I entered Thailand on a Visa exempt by air 2 months ago and extended the visa by 1 month.

This stamp expires on the 21st so I'll be flying into Hanoi from Chiang Mai.

I am also allegedly flying to Bangkok tomorrow but I just realized my stamp is in the old passport (which I have on hand). Please advise - the UK passport office never said anything about the stamp.

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you have a new passport but your Thai visa stamp is in your old passport, you should present both passports when exiting Thailand. Show the old passport with the stamp alongside the new passport at the airport. Immigration will stamp you out of the country using the new passport while noting the old one. For domestic travel within Thailand, the stamp's location is typically not a concern.

Go to immigration with both passports and a TM30. They will move the stamp over.

The UK passport office doesn't have anything to do with your thai stamps so they wouldn't really say anything about it when you got a new passport.

You are here on a 30 day extension from a free stamp entry so show both passports when you stamp out of the country on your international flight, they'll stamp you out on the new passport and make a note you entered on the old one. Then you just show the new passport from then on

For domestic travel no one will care when you check in about where your stamp is

Do I need to transfer my visa stamp to my new passport or can I just carry both?
