Will I face issues arriving in Thailand with a new passport and no visa stamps?
Hi my Belgium passport is due for renewal,if I get new one obviously gonna have to hand in current one with my non o visa stamps..Will that be a problem when I arrive in bkk with new passport without stamps or will it show on their pc I do have a visa?I m was planning to tranfer visa when I get there..any thoughts guys
Answer summary
The user is concerned about renewing their Belgium passport, as they will need to submit their old passport containing Non-O visa stamps. The thread discusses whether this will cause issues upon arriving in Bangkok with a new passport without the stamps. Responses suggest that it is typically not a problem to keep the old passport, as authorities clip the corners to show it is invalid but allow you to retain it. It is recommended to carry both the old and new passports when transferring the visa in Thailand.

Vraag gewoon bij inlevering dat je je paspoort wil behouden
Dan worden inderdaad de pagina's vernietigd (hoekje geknipt). Fyi... Ik heb thuis een verzameling van 8 paspoorten 😅

They don't take your current passport. They cut the corners to indicate its invalid but you keep it. Then you go with both passports to immigration to move visa. I am belgian too and I have done this in thailand.

normaal gezien ontwaarden ze die en mag je die bijhouden. Zou me verbazen als ze bij de ambassador iets anders zouden zeggen.Ludo **********

de gemeenten in België zijn verplicht je dit laten te behouden als je dat wil. Als de betreffende persoon dat weigert spreek zijn meerdere aan

Get new your passport in Thailand from your consulate then take it to immigration to transfer the visa its free .
Save you lots of hassle coming back with the passport without the stamps .

Usually countries don’t keep old passports, but just clip the corner or similar to show it’s been cancelled.

France does collect and keep old passports, unless there is an active/valid visa in the old passportActivity
