Thread: MY passport is full- can I get a replacement non B

Had this problem in the past ( albeit with a Taiwanese visa) and old passport with valid visa was 'Bonded" to new passport by the embassy with an official seal thing.
Had no problem with it .
(Assuming you have a UK passport )

^ what he said.

I don;t believe they will transfer the visa, only the permission to stay or re-entry permit stamp.
TH

^ wrong, they transfer the visa.

Why post when you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about?

The American embassy issues you a letter requesting Thai Immigration to put the visa stamp in your new passport. Marmers is right I have done it twice here.

TH you really shouldnt post if you dont know what you are on about. Leads to unnecessary confusion as has been pointed out.

Thaihome is correct.
Immigration enter two stamps, one with details of your old passport and entry date and
a second stamp which is a permission to stay.

How do you reckon? He says they will not transfer the visa. Of course they will and do. If they didnt you would be shit out of luck wouldnt you?

This is correct two stamps I'm looking at right now

The Visa is transferred and is put as a permission to stay stamp under the stamp of your passports old details

^^^
My visa expired 15 years ago.
The Permission to Stay is the stamp which is important.

Looks like you owe Thaihome an apology, Tud.

Yeah. OK, Ant no need to rub it in.

Anyway I blame Marmite because (a) he mentioned visa first and (b) it's a TD tradition to blame him

With Tud there is actually. I thought it was a pretty harsh comment he made. Anyways he'll either ignore it or claim he's 'right' regardless, utterly graceless that chap.

But yes, it is Marmite's fault!

TT, the first stamp is the visa. The extension to stay is the stamp below that reads "EXTENSION OF STAY PERMITTED UNTIL________.......

Oh no, don't you start as well.
So tell me where is the visa number, date of issue, expiry date ?
And as my visa expired 15 odd years ago why bother with the details?

Anyway Immigration do not issue visa, that is the job of the MFA.

You need a read up as well

Due to stuff like this, a westerner I know who works a lot with Immigration (especially in the translation of the rules and regulations), point blank refuses to give any Immigration advice to foreigners.

Don't see it on the one you have. The Stamp they use now does have a spot for visa number.

All there on the stamp.

If you check your passport, you'll see all additional stamps you have are "extensions to stay" since the 2004.

Correct they don't issue visas. In the case of a new passport immigration will transfer the information from the old visa to the new however.

You are right, don't need to worry or debate the details. My apologies, just has a sudden case of the pedantics. When mad dog takes his new passport along with his old one to immigration, they will give him the stamps needed.

I got a new passport two months ago and had my details transferred to it. There is no visa number anywhere on it. It has 6 stamps. The first is the same as Thetyim's above. The second is for my original Tourist Visa, no number - the entries are visa class: TR, Admitted date, until date, and signature. The third is my non-imm b, exactly the same stamp as for the TR except for the class. Fourth and fifth are extensions of stay and 6th is my multiple re-entry permit. There are no serial numbers or whatever on any of them except for the re-entry permit. The only number on the Thai immigration related parts of my passport is on my TM6 and this is what the immigration people at CM told me is used to track my immigration history and status in the country and this is the only thing that is actually physically transferred to my new passport.

I got a new passport last year. The new stamp they put in has the following fields:

Old passport number
Nationality
Date of Issue (passport)
Type of Visa
Place of Arrival
Original date of arrival
Original stay permitted until
Remarks. Here they wrote down my arrival card number (TM***)

The visa number is not entered anywhere in my new passport. I was told my visa is still in the old passport and if I go out of the country on a re-entry permit I must take my old passport with me.

Now, I'm sure someone else will have a different story to tell.
