Im on DTV, evisa.

Passport damaged but readable, will get a new one in my embassy in Bangkok.

They’ll let me keep the old one.

Can I leave the country and come back with both passports and still get the usual 6 months stamp?

Do I need specific documents?

Answer summary

The user on a DTV eVisa in Thailand is inquiring whether they can leave the country and re-enter with both their damaged but readable passport and a new one being issued by their embassy. Community responses confirm that the user must travel with both passports; showing the old passport, which contains the visa, along with the new passport upon re-entry is necessary to receive the standard 180-day entry stamp.

Allan Lever no it’s an evisa and Thailand immigration won’t transfer any visa or stamps unless they were issued in Thailand. Since no DTVs are issued in Thailand no transfer. Just carry both passports
