Hi I have applied for passport renewal as my current passport is expiring within next six months. The problem is my DTV was issued on my old passport and apparently there's no way to change the passport details online! Can you please guide me how would it work, would there be a issue in immigration as i might travel when i get my new passport from UK!

Thanks
Answer summary
When renewing your passport, it's important to carry your old passport that contains your DTV visa. You should take both passports when traveling, as Thai immigration will need to see both to verify your visa status. In some cases, you may be able to have your visa stamp transferred to your new passport for a fee at an immigration office. Always keep a copy of your DTV visa and involve immigration staff if you face any issues.

Carry the old passport with you and show both, plus the printout of the DTV visa to the airline check in and Thai immigration. They should stamp you in on your new passport. They may also make a note that your visa was issued on your previous passport (noting the passport number) if they don’t then you can get that done at an immigration office. Thereafter, you can travel with your new passport plus a copy of your old passport along with a copy of your DTV.

I paid 500 baht and got the stamp transferred into my new British passport at the immigration just outside Hua Hin for Prachuap Khiri Khan, after speaking with an immigration officer at the smaller office in Bluport Mall.
