What happens if I have two approved DTV visas for Thailand due to an error in my application?

DTV visa visa application errors Thailand visa rules dual visas visa cancellation procedures

ORIGINAL POSTER

Let's say I apply for a DTV visa online and get approved, but then find out that there is a small error in my application and the e-visa itself. However the consulate have already approved and issued the visa so they can't cancel it. In this case, if I apply for another DTV visa with all the correct information and they approve it too, what happens? Can I have two online visas being valid simultaneously? Will i have any problems entering Thailand in this case? Can I enter and cancel the "wrong" visa when I'm already in Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The situation described involves applying for a DTV visa online, receiving approval, and later discovering an error in the application. While some commenters suggest that holding two visas at the same time may be complex and typically not allowed, there is ambiguity in cases where the initial visa has not been fully canceled before applying for another. It's advised to consult immigration for accurate guidance on entering Thailand with two visas and to understand the process of canceling any incorrect visa. Overall, this scenario appears unique and carries potential complications.

You cannot hold two visas at the same time

This is a pretty unique situation I doubt anyone else will have experience of. As with most other visas one needs to be cancelled before the issuing of another. Some have reported they have the B/ED at same time then cancel after entering on DTV. To cancel a visa you have to go to immigration. The usual practice when this happens ie on B or O is you have 7 days to leave the country. You could try this, leave an apply for a DTV again. Sounds awfully complex :-)
