Thnks Brandon so I can do it online or on arrival? Is it a visa for the same length of time? Around the same cost presumably?

What documents do I need to transfer my immigration stamps to a new passport in Thailand?

Mark *********

I did this recently at Udon Thani Immigration. The IO transferred all my Non-O Retirement stamps to my new passport and initialed them

It was a pretty detailed process and the fee was 500 baht-to me it was a very reasonable fee for quite a bit of work. I was a happy camper.

A hint. Get the letter while you are in Canada. Check to make sure: 1) that the Federal Gov't will send out email letters to you, and 2) that they will send snail mail hard copies to both a Canadian and non-Canadian address.
