Hi everyone! 

Quick question about getting a new passport with a physical DTV sticker.

​Because I travel a lot, I only have 2 blank pages left in my current passport, even though it’s valid for another 7-8 years.

 I’m visiting family next month and thinking about being proactive and getting a new passport now.

​The issue is that I got my DTV back in 2024, and it’s a physical sticker in my current passport (not an e-Visa).

​My question is: Is it possible to transfer the DTV sticker/visa to the new passport (which will obviously have a new passport number), or will I just have to carry both passports with me when I travel to Thailand?

​Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences!

There's no sticker (anymore)and yes, you'd have to carry both passports. A lot of countries require more than two pages so you might as well renew your passport now.
