I have obtained a new passport in my country. Now I'm carrying two valid passports when entering Thailand. The new one valid for ten years , the old one valid until Feb. 2026. I'm due
for my extension of stay based on retirement in
August 25. Do I face any issues with immigration for the new extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about the implications of holding two valid passports while applying for a retirement visa extension in Thailand. Comments suggest that upon receiving a new passport, the old one may be voided, but it can still be shown upon entry to affirm the current visa status. To manage the situation efficiently, the user should present both passports at entry and afterward, apply for a transfer of any necessary immigration stamps to the new passport before seeking the yearly extension.
