Hi everyone, does anyone here have experience with this situation?

I lost my passport, but I already entered Thailand once with my DTV before. I still have a copy of my old passport and the DTV stamp. Would that be enough to get the visa/stamp transferred into my new passport?

Would really appreciate any advice, thanks!
Answer summary
The poster lost their passport but previously entered Thailand with a DTV visa, and seeks advice on transferring the DTV stamp to their new passport using a copy of their old passport and the DTV stamp. Responses suggest that while the embassy typically handles visa transfers, it's possible for immigration officials to transfer stamps based on existing records. However, having documentation and understanding the local immigration processes are crucial. Some users recommend reporting the lost passport to avoid potential misuse.

So right now somebody could be using your passport and visa for nefarious purposes, which will affect you, since you have not reported it lost. I would worry more about that.

You have a copy of the DTV stamp?

There are twp options:

IF you applied BEfORE the on-line system went active you got a sticker in your passport OR when used the on-line system you got an e-mail.

BOTH can NOT be transferred to new passports.

You can come to Thailand with your NEW passport, print out of the DTV, new TDAC and hand this all over to the Immigration Officer.

You lost your passport, BUT the Royal Thai Police Immigration Bureau did NOT loose your fingerprints, facial recognition, dob, name, gender, nationality, date of previous entries and exits, visa used and above all the need to read the microchip in your new passport with lots of details.

The search option will all match the details and you get a new stamp in your new passport with a maximum of 180 day stay.

Please check the stamp before leaving the airport.

For those who believe that Immigration has no records and are NOT able to do this, please print out this form, fill it in and visit your local Immigration Office,

I have read a few posts with similar situation. Everything about you is already in their system.

The only one that can transfer the visa itself is the embassy that issued the visa, but normally they will void it and let you apply for a new visa to prevent any abuse.

Immigration can transfer a stamp to a new passport, but that is not always a working solution, and might be difficult without the old passport.
