German passport valid until June 2025, extention of stay (Retirement) valid until Nov 30, 2023.
I will leave on a re-entry in June for a 6 week vacation in Europe. In Germany I want to get a new 10 year passport, because it is much easier and cheaper.
When I return to Thailand, I will enter with the new passport, but still have the old one with me.
My concerns:
1.) Will immigration at the airport accept my extention/re-entry from the old passport ?
2.) What stamp will I get in the new passport ?
I understand that I can transfer the extention from the old to the new passport at my immigration where I live. Thank you.
