Can I enter Thailand with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) using both my old and new passports?
My DTV is with my old passport. I went to Hong Kong Thai embassy to ask for new passpot number change, but they told me to go back to the immigration in Thailand to ask for change it.
It's still ok to get in to the Thai boarder with DTV with my old passport and new passport?

in the old days, the visa was a sticker in your passport. Immigration was NEVER allowed to transfer this sticker, they didn't even have any supply of these stickers! The sticker were issued by the Thai Embassies abroad. You entered with both passports and received you entry stamp into the new passport. In case you were already on a "1-year extension of stay", this was (and still is!) a stamp from Immigration, and this is the only thing Immigration is allowed to duplicate (transfer) into your new passortGreg ***********
@Mauro ********

@Greg **********
?!? I don't get .!
I still report my experience.
Maybe I write wrong or I'm not able to explain.
I have 2 passport when make a new passport in embassy in BKK they tell me to go in immigration and make they write my visa.
And this what they do.
Did you get now?

@Greg **********

@Mauro ********
WHY are you so stubborn and don't accept that you are wrong ? Did you have a hard to bite Rumpsteak for lunch?Greg ***********
@Mauro ********
for the LAST TIME: You don't have any visa in your passport. Your visa is a .pdf document issued by a Thai embassy. There is no visa in your passport. Understand now?Mauro *********
@Greg **********
again??I talk about my experience. My visa been write to my new passport from Thai immigration .
Why so complicated to understand?
(I don't say they remove stickers.. I say they write in new passport).;

@Mauro ********
you are totally wrong. There is no "Thai visa" in your passport. There is only an entry stamp from Immigration that says "admitted until" with the expirty of the stay permit in blue ink. In case you are already on a "1-year extension of stay", then you have no visa, you have an "extended stay permit" in your passport, which is a stamp Immigration is allowed to transfer from the old to the new passport. The visa you used when you entered is already invalid and thus can neither get transferred nor extended.Brandon ************
@Mauro ********
because it's not that easy. Some immigration offices won't do it. And some immigration officers will not accept that to let you into Thailand. The only guaranteed way is to keep both passports.Mauro *********
@Brandon ***********
came on man.. if immigration give you new visa in new passport I all officer will accept. Btw I still talk with personal experience.
🤷♂️
But yes sure, I'm agree holding both passports should be best plan
Greg ***********
@Mauro ********
Immigration is only allowed to transfer their own stamps. The DTV is a paper document from a Thai embassy, and cannot and will not get transferred
John **********
@Mauro ********
no they won't. They may put a stamp in the new passport recognising the old passport, but you still need to carry both passportsBrandon ************
Yes because that's the normal way you're supposed to do it. Use both passports until your visa expires.
