What should I do with my old visa sticker after getting a new passport for Thailand?
I got a new passport, the DTV is on my old passport (it's the old DTV, with a sticker on the passport, not a digital one).
Question: Do I need to go to the Thai embassy to move the visa to my new passport or can I do it in BKK airport when I land?

Answer summary
Once you have obtained a new passport, you must retain both your old passport with the visa sticker and your new passport. Visa stickers cannot be transferred to a new passport. It is recommended to visit the local immigration office in Thailand to inform them of your passport change, but you will need to keep both passports on you until your visa expires.

so they will simply stamp my new passport based on the visa sticker on the old passport?Brandon ************
Anonymous participant exactly. The old passport is invalid but the visa inside of it is not. It's a clunky workaround but it's all you can do for a physical sticker.

You need to take both the old and new passport to immigration. They will add a reference to your old passport into your new passport, allowing you to use your e-visa PDF without carrying both passports.Robert ***********

What happens if there is no sticker. Just the usual PDF? Can the new passport be carried without the olAnonymous *************

if all I need is to show the old passport with the sticker and get the 180 days in the new passport, that is not so bad. Tnx.

You must go to immigration near your living and tell the immigration about change old passport to new passport about VISA.

Anonymous participant no you can not. You have already been provided with the correct information. You either transfer at the royal Thai embassy in your home country or you do it at immigration officers in Thailand.

Anonymous participant you must go to royal thai embassy for transfer visa from old passport to new. They at thai embassy can do but airport immigration can't do and can do 180 days stamp only
