Makyai

My husband just got his new passport and went to our closest immigration office to get the visa and multi-reentry permit transferred to his new passport. Visa based on marriage was no problems, but the officer was trying to tell us that he had to apply for a new re-entry permit as it is automatically cancelled when they transfer from old to new passport. Visa and RE permit are vaild till 12 July 2012 and I have checked in the new passport and it looks like they have transferred both. Our concern is we have to fly out of Thailand at the end of March and obviously don't want hassles when we return.

The officer said that if he didn't apply for another RE whether it be single or multi, then when he returns in early April his visa will be cancelled as he has no "current" RE. We are both confused as all stamps for visa and RE seems to be in the new passport.

Would appreciate any assistance.

With regards to the KR 22, has anyone experience the head boss wanting to keep the original translation and certification from the MFA? I have been able to obtain the KR22 from my local amphur office, but the head boss has said that he wants the original translation and certification for thier records. I was able to keep the original with me as I told him that immigration needs to see the orignal documents, but as I don't to get on his bad side I don't want to upset him. Never know when I will need his assistance in the future.
