My niece's passport expires in May and she had an ED visa to study at an international school until next year. She went for holidays and made a new pasport as her old passport is about to expire. What would be the process to come into thailand again using the new passport but transferring her old visa over?

Hi , does anyone know if immigration will transfer my visa exempt stamp to a non o based on marriage . I know the old rules that I had to get a non O outside the country then have a 1 year extension based on marriage at local immigration in Thailand. But I have read online you can transfer visa exempt stamp to a non o in country but pending on local immigration office. Any clarity would be appreciated.

Applying for the LTR visa with a passport that expires in 2028. Does the LTR transfer when renewing the passport? I will be applying in the US and receive a printed copy of the visa. I am traveling elsewhere and don't have time to get a new passport before applying. TIA

If you get a retirement visa & you have 3 years left on your passport, when you renew your passport do you have to go through the same process again for the visa or can you get it transferred over

So I got one question. I got my Visa approved recently. If I would change my employment to a new company. Do I have to apply for a new visa with the same process or what do I need to do?

Question on expiring passports and extension of stay.

I have an OA visa and I am on an Extension of Stay to October 2025 (multi-entry). I do the extension in early September each year.

My (Australian) passport will expire in January 2026.

I have read various posts about this and it seems to me that the simplest approach is to get a new passport before attempting the extension.

I think I can renew the passport in Thailand, but this seems quite a lengthy process.

As an alternative, I have no problem with renewing my passport in Australia mid-year prior to doing the extension in Thailand in September. But that will mean that I leave Thailand on the old passport, and return with the new.

As I understand it, I simply show both passports on return and get the existing extension moved to the new passport once I have arrived.

What is unclear to me is

(a) I have an existing multi-entry stamp in my old passport. Is this still valid (and thus allowing re-entry)?

(b) Once arrived back in Thailand, do I need to immediately "transfer the stamps", or can I just wait until I do the extension, (showing both passports + associated paperwork/insurance/funds etc), as the new extension will go straight into the new passport.

Looking for advice on flaws in my logic/understanding.

Thanks all.

My husband is currently back home in the UK. He’s applying for and will receive a new passport.

He’s on a non-O “Thai wife” visa and has a valid multiple reentry permit.

Can someone help to guide what the steps might be upon entering Thailand with said new passport - any additional forms to fill at immigration or prior to arrival in Thailand?

Advise about transferring his visa over once in Thailand would also be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
