Can a DTV on an Ethiopian passport be transferred to a new US passport after gaining citizenship?
Has anyone transferred a DTV to a new passport of a different nationality?
My daughter was originally issued a DTV under her Ethiopian passport as an infant (via the Thai Consulate in Nairobi). Her CRBA has since been processed, so she is now a US citizen and had to surrender her Ethiopian passport.
Will her new US passport automatically "inherit" her valid DTV (with stamp/documentation transfer), or do we need to submit a completely new DTV application?
Neither the DC consulate nor the Nairobi consulate are responding to emails/calls, and Thai Immigration in Bangkok told us this must be handled through a consulate. Has anyone dealt with a similar dual-nationality/passport switch for the DTV?

Summary so far
The user inquires about transferring a DTV issued under an Ethiopian passport to a new US passport after their daughter obtained US citizenship. They seek clarification on whether the DTV can be inherited or if a new application is necessary since the old passport is no longer valid. Communication issues with the relevant consulates and Thai Immigration add to the complexity.

I'd be very surprised if this is possible but something you can only address to the Thai consulate in Nairobi as they issued the visa.
But it also raises some other questions. Is your daughter currently in Thailand? If so what passport did she enter Thailand on, as you have to leave Thailand on the same passport you entered on, you can't suddenly change nationalities inside Thailand.

No, we entered & left Thailand with her Ethiopian passport.John **********

so you are currently outside Thailand? All you can do is contact the Thai consulate in Nairobi. Try Facebook Messenger if they're not responding to emails or callsGray *******

Yet she did suddenly change nationalities. It should be a simple process.Activity
