How can I transfer my DTV visa to a new passport with a different name?

Question

DTV Transfer to new PASSPORT with new NAME 🤯

Hey, I'm on DTV with Muay Thai in Chiang Mai. My passport is about to expire, so I applied for a new one here in Thailand. Embassy noticed that I have a middle name that hasn't been used on any documents since I was a child, but now it has to be included again. **So my DTV is not only linked to an old passport number, but also to a different name.**

Does anyone have any useful tips on how I can transfer my DTV? I'd really like to avoid having to re-apply.

Various commenters shared their experiences and suggestions: some advised visiting Immigration to transfer the DTV stamp, others recommended carrying both passports due to the name discrepancy, and a few suggested contacting the embassy for assistance. Overall, it's important to have both passports and any necessary documentation when addressing visa issues with immigration.

I just came through with my new last name and passport number (due to marriage) I carried both passports and legal documents. They did pull me to the side to verify everything but I got through. They didn’t even look at my marriage certificate. They just put the new stamp in new/current passport.

Just carry both passports. No problem with different name. Plenty of people have similar issue, for example girls who recently got married and changed their last name

You should go to Immigration Division 1 and transfer your DTV stamp to your new passport. I think that helps a lot for your next arrival. I did the same last month with my emergency passport and had no problems re-entering the country.

This is just a guess: I think any changes to your DTV must be requested by the original embassy.

If they can’t / won’t assist then you may need to start the process again with new name + new passport.

First step is contact the original embassy and ask for help.

Normally they can't transfer your visa to a new passport, because it's an evisa. What they can do is put a stamp in your new passport referencing your old passport but you should continue to carry both

Ask your Embassy to provide a letter that this new pasport is a replacement of passport with number 123456789 and the reason of name change
