Hello alls,

I have a simple question, if I lose my passport in Thailand and after getting a new one from my embassy. Do I lose the benefit of my current tourist visa? 

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you lose your passport in Thailand, you can take a police report and your new passport to the immigration office. They will review your entry history and transfer your entry stamp or any extension stamp to the new passport. However, if you had a multi-entry tourist visa and it was a sticker in your old passport, you will lose it. If it was an eVisa obtained online, you can re-print it.

you take the police report and the new passport to the immigration office and they will look up your entry history and put the entry stamp and or extension stamp into your new passport

BUT

If it was a multi-entry tourist visa (the 6 month METV) you would lose it (if it was a sticker in your old passport) IF it was an eVisa (where you applied online and got a PDF email of your visa) you could just re-print it

I have two other questions that are bothering me. 1- Can I take a domestic flight, a long-distance bus with the certificate of loss published by the police? 2- Can I extend my tourist visa without having obtained my new passport, but by presenting to immigration my current e-visa + certificate of loss + photocopy of my old passport or identity card from my country of origin ? Thanks a lot

, 1: you need to ask the domestic transportation company if those are enough for travel or not. But that is not a Thai visa question.

2. you need to have a passport (emergency or primary) to apply for an extension.
