My 10 year old daughter just got a new passport. Her current non-imm (O) visa expires 10th July. We are departing Thailand permanently end of June.

Does she need to get her visa stamps transferred to new passport or ok to just exit Thailand showing both passports?

Hello, I am planning to apply for a DTV visa soon. However, my passport expires in a little over 3 years.

My question is: will it be possible to transfer a DTV visa to the new passport? Whether it is an e-visa or a visa affixed to the passport by the embassy?

Indeed, I read on a Thai embassy website that DTV e-visas are not transferable to a new passport. If this is not the case, I should think about applying for a new passport before applying for the DTV.

Thank you for your information if you have any 🙏

Transferring DTV sticker visa to new passport?

Hi, could I ask for some advice, please? (I read a few posts about transferring stamps, but some of them are quite old, and I didn't see anything about transferring a DTV.)

I just got a new passport, but the DTV sticker visa in my old passport is valid until Nov 2029. Do I need to go to Immigration (for some sort of visa transfer), or can I just show both passports every time I enter Thailand (until Nov 2029)?

Thank you in advance!

Visa Conundrum

Hi guys. I am having some difficulty obtaining current information. Visas and their procedures have changed and I find myself lost. My situation.

I am presently employed at a school in Roi Et. I will leave this school at the end of June and begin working at a school in Bangkok. Here is the information my new school has given me. I am unable to convince the new school of changes in their thinking.

1) I must be present in Roi Et to cancel my visa and work permit on June 30. It is impossible to quickly be in Bangkok on the same day to transfer my Non-B from one school to another (I have checked flights). The earliest I could arrive at Bangkok Immigration is 01 July. However, according to the new school, this would put me on a 1 day overstay. Bangkok immigration will refuse the transfer process if I am in an overstay situation. I can't use the 7 day visa extension option as Bangkok immigration will not process the visa transfer if my on on this 7 day extension. Is there a way around this problem?

2) I am investigating a Non-O marriage visa as I have been married with a Thai citizen for over 5 years. I do not have 400,000 Baht in the bank but my Thai salary is more than double the required 40,000 Baht. However I am finding mixed information about using my Thai salary. Some sources say that the 40,000 Baht must come from abroad. Some sources say Thai salary is OK, but I will need a letter from my embassy to verify my income. My embassy (U.S.A.) will not provide such a letter. Some sources say that isn't important and that 12 months of salary slips is sufficient (this I do have). The other issue is timing. I have two months before I will need everything processed. Additionally I have a work permit. Most websites indicate that I would need to cancel my current work permit when transferring from a non-B to a non-O. Does anyone have any suggestions about this option or any information that can clarify some of the questions I have posed?

I think this leaves two further options.

3) Get a Thai tourist visa from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. I am having trouble finding updated information on this. Which is the best country (nearby) to do this? How does the e-visa system work? It used to be simple, but things seem much more complicated these days. If I need to do a tourist visa I would like to do it in the cheapest and most time-efficient manner. Any suggestions?

4) Get a Thai non-B from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. My new employer is willing to provide the necessary documents for this. Again, if I go this route I would be looking for the most economical and efficient process. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for any assistance and insight. Sorry for the long post.

Hi! My son ,Italian nationality,holds a Non-O Immigrant visa attending school in Phuket. This summer we will return to Italy for the holidays where he will renew his passport as it is not valid for more than 6 months. My question is: can he return to Thailand with the new passport along with the old one ( where the Visa stamp is) without having problems at the airport Immigration, and then transfer the Visa in the new passport once in Phuket? Thanks for your help

Quick question:

I have a Retirement Visa that expires this week, and I will be applying for a new one. I also have a brand new passport, but my current visa is in the old passport.

Do I need to transfer the old visa into the new passport before applying, or can I just bring both passports and have the new Retirement Visa placed directly into the new passport?

Thanks in advance.

I have a DTV Visa. Approved until 2029 even though my passport expires in 2026.

I’ve also just got married and would like to update my passport to my married name when I renew it.

So I’m wondering:

1. Is the visa transferable to a renewed passport?

2. Is the visa usable if I update my married name on my passport (provided I travel with my old passport and a copy of my marriage certificate?)

TIA!

I have a Non O retirement visa registered in Phuket. I am moving to a different Province. How do I go about transferring my visa to that new province. Immigration at the new one would not issue me a reentry permit and told me it could only be done through Phuket Immigration.
