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?
TLDR : 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.
