If you were a non-resident of BC, Canada where I come from w/o insurance it would cost you a lot more than this at our hospitals!

@Peter **************

Yes Peter. I don't get it either. It is bullying mentality from the safety of their smartphones. No courage to do it face to face. People innocently ask questions, albeit some quite naively, and then get blindsided by someone hiding on a computer.

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.
