I currently hold a Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa. I will be traveling to Germany soon, where I will need to obtain a new passport. My current passport will likely be stamped as invalid.
What steps do I need to take to ensure I can re-enter Thailand and transfer my visa to the new passport upon my return?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To ensure a smooth re-entry into Thailand and transfer your Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa to your new passport, follow these steps: 1) Carry both your old and new passports when returning to Thailand, ensuring the old passport contains the visa or extension stamps. 2) Obtain a re-entry stamp before you leave Thailand to keep your visa valid. 3) Upon return, visit the local immigration office within 7 days to transfer the extension of stay or visa stamp to your new passport. If you have an extension of stay stamped in your old passport, confirm it is transferrable to the new passport.
