What is the process for transferring a digital visa to a new passport in Thailand?
My passport is running out of empty pages and I've ordered a new one. What's the process for updating to the new passport on the dtv? I saw a post you can transfer the visa over but it's a digital not physical visa sticker.
Answer summary
When updating to a new passport in Thailand, it's important to understand that you cannot transfer a digital (eVisa) to a new passport; instead, you must show both the old and new passports during travel. Upon exiting Thailand, present both passports to receive an exit stamp on the new one, while noting that the entry stamp is on the old passport. For re-entry into Thailand, you will need a copy of the data page of the old passport containing the visa information, the last entry stamp, and your new passport along with a printed copy of the eVisa. It's essential to carry both passports during your stay.

@Jeremy ****
how about you just quit while you're behind ๐ฎ One final time you cannot transfer a VISA sticker or eVisa PDF to a new passport, you can get EXTENSIONS OF STAYS transferred at the immigration office ONLY.
IF you have a sticker DTV visa in your passport you ARE obligated to carry BOTH passports to stamp in and out for the duration of the visa (that would be for the next 5 years ๐ฎ ).
Where as IF you have an eVisa PDF print out AND you got your new passport inside thailand you do exactly as I said.
You EXIT showing BOTH passports (because your entry stamp is in the old one), you cannot go thru the eDeparture gates if you got a new passport inside the country either you got to the officers and get hard stamped out. They will stamp you out on the new passport and note that you entered on the old passport
THEN
to get back in to the country all you need is copy of the data page of your passport, the last entry stamp from it (the one that goes WITH the new exit stamp in the new passport) the print out of the DTV visa and your new passport.

you CANNOT transfer a visa sticker to a new passport ๐
You have an eVisa from a consulate where you printed the PDF which IS your visa
You show BOTH passports when you stamp OUT of the country, they will stamp you out on the new passport and make a note that you entered thailand on the old one
THEN
when you go to get back in you need a copy of the data page of the passport that the eVisa was issued under and the last entry stamp in that passport on the DTV, those copies plus the new passport and print out of the PDF visa is all you need to get in and out from them on

OP@Tod ********
thanks. to clarify I will still exit on my old passport and reenter on the new. so I would need to bring both passports for the next five years?Tod *********
@Stas *********
you show BOTH passports to get out the FIRST time after you renewed your passport because you entry stamp is in the old one and they will stamp you out in the new one THEN
you just need copies of
- data page of old passport (the one you got the DTV with)
-last entry stamp in the old passport (the one that matches the exit stamp you got in the new passport)
-DTV print out
New passport
Tod *********
@Stas *********
you only show both passports ONCE <- when you leave the country with the entry stamp in the old one and get the exit stamp in the new one Then you don't need the old one (other than the copies I mentioned) after that just the DTV print out and the new passport
Luit *****************
@Tod ********
how do you get an entry stamp in the old passport and the corresponding exit stamp in the new passport?Normally you will get the new passport in your home country.

@Tod ********
maybe read what the thai government says on their own websiteAs it states you DO NOT
If you have exited and come back with new passport you only need your printed visa and new passport
Being educated is awesome
Tod *********
Gerry Whelan you can't go thru the eDeparture gates if you've got a new passport inside the country you have to go to the officer to stamp you out manually in the new passport
Gerry ********
@Tod ********
when was the last time anyone got an exit stamp at BKK though? Not since last July did I go to a desk on the way out. It's all digitally recorded.I'm not suggesting this affects the need to carry valid documents, only that exit stamps are almost entirely a thing of the past.
Tod *********
@Jeremy ****
you need to bring BOTH passports when you exit thailand if you got a new passport inside the country That's because your entry stamp is in the old one and they will stamp the exit stamp in the new one (it's the one time you need BOTH passports if you have an eVisa)
Then you just need copies of the data page of the old passport and the DTV print out, with the new passport and you're fine after that
