Will Thai immigration accept my Non-O visa and re-entry permit in a new passport if my old passport is devalued?
I am currently visiting my home country Germany. I have a Non-O visa based on retirement and a multiple entry stamp in my passport. The visa will expire in March 2023.
In my passport I have only very few empty pages left and I ought to apply for a new passport soon.
My question now is: Will the Thai immigration accept my visa and re-entry permit in a devalued passport if I get a new one here? Or should I apply for a new passport via the German embassy when I'm back in Thailand?

Answer summary
The user inquires about the acceptance of their Non-O visa and re-entry permit in the event their passport becomes devalued after obtaining a new one while visiting Germany. Comments suggest applying for a new passport promptly due to potential long processing times. They recommend presenting both passports upon re-entry to Thailand, and experiences shared indicate that Thai immigration did not devalue older passports, allowing for seamless entry.

, been bit busy with birthday wife. Umm, it's a Dutch/Thai tax treaty. Old treaty from 1975 to prevent double tax payment. Most people could choose where they wanted to pay tax when 'uitgeschreven' out of the Netherlands. So you could get tax exempt from Netherlands and many times pay less tax in Thailand. Now the treaty will change in that it's mandatory to pay tax in the Netherlands. For many Dutch expats/retirees this costs quite some money.Jo **********

ok interestingPeter ****************
Aha. Clear. Bit difficult when you live in Thailand
Then better via the Dutch Embassy. But probably almost of no use to be "uitgeschreven' (Except legaly mandatory after 8 months living here), anymore should the new treaty between Netherlands and Thailand be implemented 1-1-2023 🙄
