TRANSFERRING STAMP FROM OLD TO NEW PASSPORT

This is my experience with immigration in Bangkok.

I got my DTV when my passport was 9 months to expiration. In the visa field “Note” they reported the date of my passport’s expiration.

I got my new passport at the embassy and been told to go to immigration to transfer the stamp.

At immigration they have a form for this operation. Just fill the fields with the info of the old and new passport and that’s it. In addition you have to provide a copy of the bio page of old and new passport and a copy of the stamped page of the old passport. Also copy of the visa stamp/pdf file for e-visa like DTV. Moreover they tell you to provide a copy of the TM as well. There is no specification on which TM to provide. Given my experience, I suggest you to provide every kind of TM you have, such as TM 6, TM30 or 90days report if available.

The procedure was straight forward at counter J (tourist affair) but they didn’t like my TM30, even if it was all good for the 90days report I did before. I think the reason is that my field of “Check out date” was empty (even if it is an optional field).

I explained that I’m the owner of the condo, so I don’t have a check out date. Hence they wanted a copy of every page of the ownership document (the big paper) and the house book. Luckily I had pics in my phone, so I just printed them out. And they get the house book page from the server of the TM30 (you need to upload it when you do it).

It was a bit of a surprise but every IO was nice and friendly. Just took time and luck to have the additional documents at hand and made them printed out.

New passport is now stamped with the reference number of old passport, entry date and future exit date.

Out of curiosity I asked for the extension. They told me I had to provide every single document of the application (probably updated). When I said I was on a 1 year Muay Thai course, after a few seconds chat among them, they said I was not eligible for extension. Probably I could try my luck as they discussed really few seconds and not analyzing the case deeply, but mostly likely the answer would still be no.

Good Morning, I have a question if someone can help me I am appreciate your time.

If we have 1 Year 0-A multiple entries visa

and 1 year residency report TM form ,

and not planing to change address,

Do I have to do 90 days report or not require,

Thank you 🙏

Hi,does anybody know the TM form number please to apply for proof of residency,so I can get a driving license,many thanks.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick check on renewing 1 yr retirement visa for the 1st time. So need TM ?, letter from bank and photos? Is that all I need? Or do I need new residency certificate even if I haven't moved. TIA 🌼

I know it says approved so most likely a silly question but I just want to make sure. When doing the online 90 day, is that it once I reached this screen. Just print this out and keep with passport? Should there not be a print out advising next appointment date or is it just a matter of counting the 90 days from today ourselves?

Hi all, British passport holder, my non immigrant type O Visa based on marriage expires next month I will have had the 15 months out of it, my question - is which (number) TM form do I need from immigration to apply for the 2 months extension based on "visiting family" ?, I like to read up and be prepared.

Thank you.

The form for reporting to immigration within *48hrs of returning from travel outside your home province within thailand. Can I get a name/tm number for this please so I can look it up?

Many thanks.

From what I understand listening to the news today. Thai citizens no longer a required to fill out their TM form when stamping out of Thailand at the border. This will speed up the process at the immigration gates for Thai citizens.
