Hello.  Please, easy question. 

I have my DTV since last year, and all ok.

However, I changed my passport due to finish of pages.

I have a new passport now and I will return to Thai.

Can this cause any issues in immigration? Just travel with both passports is ok? Or affect my DTV? Has someone face similar situation?

Thanks!!!

Answer summary

A user inquired about potential issues with Thai immigration after changing their passport while holding a DTV visa. Community members advised that it is necessary to present both the old and new passports when entering Thailand. They noted that transferring an e-visa to a new passport isn't possible, but showing both passports along with a printout of the DTV to immigration should suffice. It's recommended to contact the issuing embassy for further assistance.

"Le transfert du e-visa sur un nouveau passeport n’est pas possible."

Means "It is not possible to transfer an e-visa to a new passport.",

and it's from The Thai Embassy in France :

I just can tell you, that with the old visa system it was necessary to transfer the visa from the old to new passport. How this should be possible with e visa I don't know. So the only way would be really to show both passports. Otherwise you could write an email to the embassy that issued your e-visa. When you send them copys of both passport maybe they give you a new e visa with the current passport number.

I got the same thought. That's why I did a new passport before applying for the visa. Got only 3 pages left on the old one.
