Hi everyone! Has anyone had this situation with a Thailand tourist e-Visa?

If I apply for and receive the e-Visa using my current passport, then renew my passport before travelling, can I enter Thailand using the new passport + old passport + printed e-Visa?

The e-Visa would obviously show the old passport number.

Looking specifically for anyone who has actually done this recently. Did you have any issues with the airline at check-in or Thai immigration?

Thanks! 🙏

That’s weird, French’s city halls don’t issue official « certificate of recidence »…

Do you mean your friend didn’t have any address in France ? (No taxe notice, no energy bill…)

Obviously they make it more complicated on purpose. And for absolutely nothing. That’s the Thai way to say : we don’t like this visa and we will get rid of it soon.

You're confused. Thai MFA introduced the DTV. It's Thai Immigration Bureau who supposedly don't like it (according to some group members that is).

I don't understand their logic. Why do they care whether you're actually residing in France, in that example. Nationality (passport) alone should be sufficient. It's not like you can apply from multiple other countries anyway.

Anonymous participant They’re playing the domicile card against citizenship or residency (expat) being the higher level of I.D. thinking it’s a solution to wean out those of no fixed abode. Bit of a tricky one to fix.

Expatsiam✈️ The question to ask ourselves is if it wasn't for being a digital nomad, enrolled upon a cultural course, attending medical/dental appointments or being an expat, where would you be living? With that in mind, set about obtaining documents to confirm that. Not every country issues National Identity cards. However, everywhere has water and electricity supplies. Government departments at both national and local levels issue bills and communications for various purposes. If you continue to hold home country bank account(s) change the address upon them from Thailand to home country. Look into virtual postboxes that provide a street address.

I thought 💭 being national citizen should be ok. What if people deregister themselves there and indeed lived nomad style in multiple countries.
