Changing your Immigration Stamp

How changing your Immigration stamp is done in Thailand.

This is what is needed when you are changing your immigration stamp. If your passport is full, then you will need to apply for a new passport at your Embassy. Once you have the new passport you will need to change the Thai visa be this a retirement visa or marriage visa, from the old passport to the new one. This can only be done at immigration. They will now have to move your stamp from one passport to another. This is where a passport is full or is going to expire. The lost passport needs additional information.
