Hi, I have received my new uk passport (simple renewal as all pages were full) and now need to transfer my stamps to the new one.

The transfer is for my current visa extension (non o marriage extension). My question is what is the embassy letter requirement is that for everyone only It says on the list for documents “letter from embassy (if needed)” so under what circumstances can one determine if you need this or not?

Thanks

Chiang Mai - I returned from an overseas trip yesterday and stopped at the Chiang Mai Immigration office following my arrival to update my TM-30. I was informed that from now on I would not be able to update my TM-30 myself. I was told it is the house master's duty (aka head of household) to update the TM-30 and that I could not do it myself. The house master must come to the immigration office for the update.

I was also given a paper with instructions on how to process the TM-30 on-line and encouraged to have the house master use the on-line system.

My wife was waiting in a taxi outside so she came in and completed the update.

Like many people, we have had no success using th eon-line system.

I am posting this as a heads-up and will turn-off commenting immediately ... I know the reaction to this will will not be purty ...
