If I understand the process for moving stamps to a new passport correctly (Non-O Over 50 Extension) at CW:
Enter Thailand with both passports, new passport gets stamped in.
At CW
* Need transfer stamp form and both passports
* Updated bank book and copy (bank book only. Not the full year report that takes a week from Bangkok Bank?)
* Copy of photo pages from each passport
* Copy of last arrival stamp (from the new passport) and last extension (from the old passport)
They move the stamp to the new passport.
And then, since I got my multiple re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi, I need to take both passports there to move the re-entry permit, which I can do on my next flight out.
How large are Visa and Multiple Reentry stamps?. - I would imagine that if one travels in and out of Thailand fairly frequently you would likely need additional pages added to their passport. Is this common? Thanks
Hey, did anyone go through the facial recognition gates at Jakarta airport? What did you upload as proof of being in the country as I didnt get my passport stamped, I just walked through the gates
I've been approved for a DTV, but I'm running out of pages in my passport. Since immigration officers love to completely waste pages by stamping 3 pages ahead, I only have maybe 10 more pages. Which I'm not sure will last 5 years. If I have to get a new passport, will my DTV still apply?
I'm really a bit disappointed with Thai Immigration.
I travel a lot, and my passport book was full. I asked the Chiang Mai Immigration office to move my Visa Extension (based on Retirement), and my Multi Re-entry permit to a new passport book.
In the new passport, officials painstakingly recreated many, of not all of the previous visa entries, and then proceeded to add "correct copy" signature stamps below each catagory.
Now, three pages are already consumed.
Why couldn't they just put the visa and the re-entry stamp on the first page and use the computer records at every desk to review the prior stamps if necessary? Why do they have to be recreated in my passport?
I realize begpackers and visa abusers' histories needs to be reviewed at the borders, but isn't that what the computers are for? Cant annual visa holders be exempted from copying all the stamps
This is going to get ridiculous if I stay here for 10+ years. Not to mention the time it will take to review and re-stamp 20+ annual visas and then add "correct copy" stamps into a new passport in 2034.
MY other hope is that one day much of this application and renewal process can be automated and moved online. Cheaper and more efficient.
I am flying to Bangkok from Manila on Saturday. What are the most current rules on COVID and vaccinations and other issues. I am American and usually have no trouble getting a visa on arrival. I am bringing a Filipina friend. Any advice as to what I can expect?
