I appreciate this service from all the contributors.

Has anyone had to swap their O-A visa from an old to new passport through the Thai Royal Consulate in Sydney? What is the process and how long?

Thanks
Answer summary
The process of swapping an O-A visa to a new passport at the Thai Royal Consulate in Sydney is not possible. Users must carry both the old and new passports if the original visa is still valid. The transition to the e-visa system started in March, requiring travelers to carry both passports along with an e-visa printout when entering Thailand. The original visa sticker remains valid until its expiration.

You cannot move a visa from one passport to another. If you are on an extension, you can have that moved, but not a visa.

If you are actually still on the original visa full page sticker that was issued by the embassy, then you will need to carry both of your passports with you until the visa runs out. They switched systems to e-visa in March, so at most you'll need to carry both passports for 6 more months.

E-visa would be the same, but now you'll have to carry 3 things with you. Both passports and the e-visa printout, and hand all 3 of those over when you enter the country.

thanks Brandon. I have the original sticker in my old passport for O-A visa obtained in Australia pre March. So just need to carry both passports and insurance details.
