if you read between the lines you’ll see the politics there. Everyone has quotas to meet. The reality is that you can’t drop your guard.

A voluntary hand-in, which stands you on good stead as far as the penalty (length of ban/fine) goes. Problem was there was a ‘mix’ up in the paperwork and he got a five year ban for an eight month overstay. His employer could not provide his passport.

A 90 day non imm b single is ‘stay’ period to get your s#%t in order with your employer internally. Proper process. Either your employer provides your documents for your extension to stay OR your lawyer prepares them (self employment/director) for a non b MULTI application. Either/or

I’m happy to be corrected. Last time I was party to a re-entry - application I was told 1900 - I’m aware that’s the same number as an extension to a visa exempt - again happy to be corrected. Why would you pay a fee to re-enter on a multi?

What should I enter on the TM6 card upon arriving in Thailand with a new passport while holding an old passport with my visa?

Darren *********

Immigration can put a stamp in your new passport linking the old passport (and visa) to the new one, everything is then done with your new passport number. I got mine stamped at BKK airport immigration and always carry both.
