Can I enter Thailand on my French passport while having a mixed itinerary with Israeli and French flights?
Hey guys, I need some advice on a dual passport issue.
I have Israeli and French passports. Been in Thailand 2 years on a Non-B visa with the Israeli one, now switching to a student visa. The visa office asked me to re-enter with my French passport.
Problem: my flights are already booked like this:
-Chiang Mai → BKK → Vietnam (Israeli)
-Vietnam → BKK (French)
-BKK → Chiang Mai (Israeli) (booked this one long ago thats why its on israeli)
Goal is to enter Thailand on the French passport, but the flights are mixed. Did I mess up?
Since my tickets from Vietnam in on my french one ill need to enter Vietnam with my french one too isnt it?

thank you!Wannikea *********
You switch passports on the international flight, as far as domestic it's just for ID, there's no visa synchronization.

Domestic inside Thailand shouldn't be a problem, your exit entry from Thailand is on your French passport.
