Hello TDV group members,

I would like to request a general clarification regarding travel with a renewed passport.

I recently renewed my passport and therefore now hold a new passport with a new passport number.

However, my valid Thailand DTV visa is still issued in my previous (old) passport.

Could you please confirm whether it is acceptable to travel with both passports (old passport containing the valid visa and new passport for identification) and whether boarding is permitted in this case?

And do I need anything to proof to the airline (Turkish Airlines) when I travel to Thailand, could they refuse me?

I would appreciate your general guidance on this matter.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from the group.

I hold both US and Russian passports. I have a DTV visa issued to my US passport, but for this particular trip I want to enter Thailand using my Russian passport instead (visa exemption).

My reason: 16 days after arrival to Thailand I'm traveling onward to where my Russian passport works better and want to keep travel continuity.

Has anyone entered Thailand on a different passport than the one with their DTV visa? Any issues at Thai immigration? I'm prepared with explanations and all my bookings are on the Russian passport, but wondering if this will create problems.

Would appreciate any experiences or thoughts from the group. Thanks!

Hi,

I was granted the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) under my old passport (Passport 1).

I now have a new passport (Passport 2), because Passport 1 has less than 6 months left.

When I arrive in Thailand, I will bring:

– Passport 2 (new and valid)

– Passport 1 (used for the DTV application)

– The DTV approval email linked to Passport 1

Will the immigration officer understand this and stamp the DTV into Passport 2 without any problem?

Or should I do something in advance to avoid any issue?

Thanks for your help.

My parents received new EU passports, however, their retirement visa is in the old one- which is still valid, just has no more pages. Would anyone advise, if they need to go to immigration to a fix it into new passport or is it ok to travel in and out of country with both passports?

Thank you

Has anyone recently traveled with an old and new passport in hand to Kualar Lumpur?

My husband had to recently get a new Australian passport as his old one had a bad stamp from some dodgy school that cropped up during the Covid years.

On the 31st of March [Friday just gone] my husband left Thailand on an old passport that expires today [April 2nd] and he was hoping that the Thai Embassy in Kl would put the tourist visa stamp into his new passport [especially considering that the old one is now non-usable as of today].

So, my husband left Thailand on the old passport and then entered Malaysia on the old passport and is now concerned that at the Thai Embassy in Kl that they will think it strange that he has a brand-new passport when his old passport still had two years validity on it and a few spare pages left.

Has anyone recently been through this experience at the KL Thai embassy?

Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you.

Hello, I’m returning to thailand with a new passport, but my e-visa has my old passport number on it. If I travel with and show both my old and new passport at immigration, would it be accepted?

Thanks in advance for any help :)

So not really a visa question, but has anyone with multiple passports enter Thailand with their Thai passport recently and leaving their original country on another passport? How did it go? My bf has a US passport and our 2 yo has a US passport (have to pick up his Thai one in Thailand); can we go through immigration together or should we split up?
