ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : 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.
