Hello everyone,
So I will be getting a new passport this week (old one run out of pages), and I'm on a extension of stay valid until 31/Dec (which I can't extend further because it's linked to my employment and I will only get a new contract in Mar/23).
To sort my stay in Thailand for now, I'm planning on flying to Malaysia next week and return on the same day to receive a visa exempt entry stamp (I should get 90 days free).
My questions are: Do I really need to go to Chengwattana to transfer my extension stamp, even tho it is almost finish anyway? (or can I just go to the airport with both passports and leave the country). Also, on the trip to Malaysia, just to confirm if it would be straightforward to get a visa exempt entry once I'm back in the same day (as in, I'm expecting that my current extension will be terminated once I leave the country, and when I'm back the immigration will just stamp me as a normal tourist). I've never done this sorts of border runs, but my visa history is pretty clean (albeit long).
Thank you very much in advance!
