Can I transfer my education visa to a different passport if they are from different countries?
Hello 👋
Does anyone know if I can transfer an education visa from one passport to another, if the 2 passports are from 2 different countries?
Thank you for your help.

Summary so far
The consensus among community members is that you cannot transfer an education visa from one passport to another, especially if the passports are issued by different countries. Multiple comments emphasize that immigration authorities will not transfer visas across passports of different nationalities, and suggest that the individual should renew the original passport if possible, or start the visa application process anew with the new passport.

If you have bank accounts as well on first passport, banks will give you a lot of grief

No.

Immigration will never transfer a visa (extension) to another passport issued from a different country.

I think you can only have 1 visa on 1 passport. Passport number is on many documents. So transfer to another passport (number) is not possible.
Gerar ********
Transfer is often possible if it is a replacement passport.
Peter ****************
Gerar Teuben Okay, but he is talking about two different pasports. So e.g. 1 UK and 1 other country.
Gerar ********
That’s why I said a replacement passport (not a second passport ) which is always from the same country.

OPPeter Van Eindhoven yes that is right
John **********
You can't, but why would you even want to?

OP@John *********
the one with the visa expires soon so I wanted to transfer the visa to the other passport.John **********
VioletKiwi5843 Just renew the passport that holds the visa. Otherwise you will have to leave the country and start all over again on the other passport
Martyn *********

OPWilliam Byron did you do it?
William *******
VioletKiwi5843 Do what?
William *******
VioletKiwi5843 Did I say that I did?
VioletK*******
OPWilliam Byron this kind of transfer 😁
Gerar ********
Not correct, immigration will only do the transfer to a new passport from the same country.
William *******
Gerar Teuben Nonsense
Gerar ********
Absolutely not nonsense, immigration will never transfer a visa (extension) to a passport from another country.
VioletK*******
OPAlright.. so I should do the process all over again with the new passport?
John **********
VioletKiwi5843 yes, but if you are on an extension of stay on the passport that's running out you should cancel that first. Seems to me it would be a lot less hassle to just renew that passport, usually you can do that without leaving Thailand
Steve ********
No chance

Can you get the document from an embassy that those passports belong to the same person?
Gerar ********
Embassies only supply a letter (if they do at all) if it is a replacement passport from their own country.
They will never do this for a passport issued by another country.
Also immigration will not transfer a visa (extension) to another country passport.

Vladimir Shevelev An Embassy will only verify their own country's passport
VioletK*******
OPVladimir Shevelev I believe I could
Graham ******
No you cannot switch passports in country
