Will I have issues with my DTV visa if I renew my passport before it expires?

No problem, u can get an update dtv from the embassy/ immigration

No, you will keep the old passport along for the 2 remaining years

Happens all the time, passports expire, get lost, damaged, carry both and the printout of your visa approval email when going through a point of entry, the entry exit stamps will go into the new passport

Well, there is something you need to know

*** you will get your DTV approved by the embassy or consulate, as long as your passport still has a validity of more than six months, and the same applies on every entry - the 6 months validity is a requirement.

(something that slipped through the grapevine but what is actually and factually required)

*** now there is this thing, when you get issued a new passport by your embassy , while you are still inside Thailand, you need to ask them to give you back your old, though invalidated passport.

Because Immigration is going to move the entry stamp from the old passport to the new passport.

*** when entering Thailand in order to receive another 180 days, you will not only need to show the pdf visa document to the border official, but also show him your old passport

BECAUSE YOUR DTV got issued on the old passport number!

You will get stamped in for 180 days in your new passport, but they will not change any detail of your DTV visa document.

Immigration in Thailand is not allowed to touch anything that got issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs = embassies and consulates. That’s why you need to keep your old passport on you all the time when you re-enter or extend

Keep your old passport for showing together with new one for the last two years.

Who knows by then they may be able to re issue with new passport number

You just transfer the visa to your new passport

I only have 2 years and I was approved last week

You’ll be stamped in for 180 days not sure if the stamp the DTV in your passport it will only be until your passport expires

No
