— 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

TLDR : Answer Summary
Shannon's passport was stolen, but her visa documents are intact digitally. She seeks guidance on updating her visa information with the new passport before flying to Bangkok. Comments suggest contacting the Thai embassy and ensuring all documents match. Others share experiences, emphasizing that the visa and passport must correspond, and recommend obtaining a verification letter from her embassy.
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
you still need your physical passport to travel - if you do not have proof of it on you and you are stopped and asked for it you can be detained until they sort it out
ok I wasn't sure - i keep a photo copy of my passport and current visa on my phone i keeo my actual passport in my condo hidden i only need it for immigration and bank matters if I pull large amounts of money
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.
