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?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice regarding a dual passport situation involving travel plans that include both Israeli and French passports. They need to enter Thailand on a French passport due to a visa requirement but have a mixed itinerary that complicates this. Community responses suggest that switching passports during international flights is acceptable, and that domestic travel in Thailand shouldn't pose an issue, as the main concern is the initial entry visa process.

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.
