What should I do if my passport was stolen and I need to update my Muay Thai DTV visa before flying to Bangkok?
— HELP: STOLEN PASSPORT: flying to bkk soon … who to contact?! Please read below —
I need some advice regarding my Muay Thai DTV (Soft Power) visa and my visa is digital (I have an online copy and a printed version - nothing was in my actual passport luckily)
I applied and was approved digitally in Hanoi, but my old Canadian passport was stolen recently and I now have a new passport. I need to update my passport number for my visa, and the Muay Thai school is updating the invitation letter for me.
Has anyone been in this situation before? Who should I contact, and what steps do I need to take to make sure my visa is recognized when I fly to Bangkok on November 5 from Madrid?
- I have a photo of my old passport
- a photo of my new passport
- police report
- all emails with the Canadian embassy regarding my stolen passport
- all DTV documents/pics digitally I used when applying in Hanoi and being approved
Are there any agents in Chiang Mai or elsewhere who can help with this process also?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated — I want to avoid any issues at immigration.
Thank you!
Shannon

Your visa has to match your passport . ( new visa )

Phone your own embassy as soon as possible. Also you have to do a police report even though nothing will come of it.

@Shannon *****
this might be tricky because your visa is attached to your old passport and now you have a different passport number . I would seriously go ask immigration or go to agent on this

No idea what to do…even people with old passports have to carry them with the new passport for the duration of the visa
Good luck

What about contacting the Thai embassy in the country you are in right away?
Paul ***********
@Sukanya **********
The most sensible response here. Take all your documents, everything you have and present it to them. They must be able to help you more and provide an entry in your new passport.Sukanya ***********
