I renewed my Belgian passport at the Belgium embassy in Bangkok. The embassy gave me a letter to give to immigration which stated the reason for a new passport being issued.

As previously stated your Bank passport is linked to your passport from your country. Take your new passport to your bank to update the information.

Just put exchange app on your phone and you can most countries

Read previous comment from Brandon If you qualify for visa exempt then you have 30 days each time you enter. If you nationality is such that you need a visa then you are correct

Why did you wait so long to apply for a new passport. This should have been started 4 to 6 months ago. Maybe you might have to go back to your country and get a new passport issued seeing time is running out.

The person wanted to know the cost of medical insurance for a year. Not what you my spend yourself without insurance. Read the previous request which I answered

The airlines when you check in for your flight if you do not have travel booked out of your destination will require proof that you have a right for long stay in that country. This can be a retirement visa, citizenship or right for long term stay. At your destination immigration can ask you for your outbound travel. If you do not have proof of outbound travel you can be denied entry. If you are denied entry it is the airlines responsibility to put you on the next available return flight. The airline is the one that has to pay for the ticket and airline can be fined or worst case have their landing rights taken away if they have to many infractions of not checking passengers properly when they checkin.

Depending on coverage and your age it can range from 40,000 THB to over 250,000 THB per year

Normally it would not be an issue. Most of the time not very many people at immigration trying to get a re entry visa. But what happens if something unforeseen goes wrong. You arrive at the checkin counter just before the airline closes the counter. Now you are in a rush to get thru security. You just barely make it thru security with just enough time to go directly to your boarding gate which could take 15 minutes. (Long walk). No time to get re entry with immigration or you miss your flight. Like other people have said. Go to immigration office where you live and get the re entry permit before the day of your flight. One less thing to worry about

You will have to get a letter from your embassy explaining why you have a new passport. Once you have this letter then you will go to Immigration with old and new passports Thai immigration will then transfer appropriate information to your new passport.
