TLDR : Answer Summary

When you renew your passport after obtaining a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV), you can secure the value of your visa by carrying both your old and new passports. Visas are now issued electronically as PDFs; during entry or exit, present both the passport number from the old passport and the eVisa printout along with your new passport.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

Search the group and you'll find that you carry both passports on you until the visa expires.

And keep your bad attitude elsewhere, Greg was literally just trying to help you learn how to use the group.

all visas are now online eVisas that are sent to you via email and you print a PDF file (that is your visa)

You just show a copy of the data page of the old passport, the your new passport with the DTV print out when you enter/exit

Hopefully you don't have to show a copy of the data page of the old passport for each entry, just the first one?

almost certainly you’ll need to show a copy of your original passport - or even that original passport - for the next 5 years on entry. The visa can’t be “transferred”.

I see. I just find it strange that this is insisted upon for an e-visa too. For a standard visa sticker, yes, I've done it before several times.

every entry, because that's the passport number on the PDF file so print a copy and staple it to the print out of the visa

Wow. So if you forget to do that, despite being an e-visa, you could be denied entry? Glad I still have a visa sticker - I just carry both passports, but really, with an e-visa they should just allow you to update your passport number online or something.
