Hello everyone,

After passport has been renewed, should I inform Thailand immigration to update DTV with new passport id? Anyway, my one is eVisa.

Thank you everyone.. 

Happy New Year

Answer summary

The conversation addresses whether it is necessary to inform Thai immigration about a passport renewal to update a Digital Visa (DTV), specifically for an eVisa holder. Responses indicate mixed opinions: some suggest that it is necessary to carry both the old and new passports for reference, while others mention that a visit to the Immigration office can allow for a stamp in the new passport, linking it to the existing visa.

You can visit Immigration office and get a stamp in your new passport with reference to the visa.

BUT some people will tell you that you need to carry both passports, even if you applied for a new passport because the old one get lost or stolen.
