Why does Thai Immigration require all previous visa stamps to be transferred to a new passport?

Brook ********

I estimate the book will be full in 2-3 years.

I’m learning to optimize space by things like using Laos eVisas, instead of Visa on arrival, and other strategies.

The whole point of a new passport is empty pages. It negates the purpose when Thailand moves the stamps into the new passport, and then add stamps attesting to the true copy.

I dont think so. I need the Thai Visa in my new passport to get back in.

I doubt Thailand would let me back in with a Non-O in a cancelled passport. But, I'm curious now if Thailand might? Has anyone tried this? I think they would just admit you Visa Exempt and tell you to start the Non-O process anew.

If I controlled Thai immigration the they would no longer be able to use paper copies in support of Visa applications to power the Thai electric generation plants. Almost everything would be computer, biometric and App based.

Can I perform maintenance and gardening at my own home in Thailand without a work permit?

@David ********

why, because working without a work permit is illegal, and people have been jailed, fined and deported for hanging a photo in their wife’s business?

What are some affordable health insurance options for a 68-year-old on a Retirement Visa in Thailand?

Brook ********

Get a Non O visa instead of a Non OA Visa.

Instead of choosing from 14 Thai health insurance companies, you’ll be able to choose from any health insurance company in the world, or just self insure. It’s entirely up to you.

They try to make it hard to dissuade you from making extra work for them.

They actually have to write a long report so they try to avoid it
