My passport has about 2 years validity left in it.

If i get a 5 year SP visa and it needs to get transferred to the new passport, will I encounter problems with immigration and proof of enrollment in a course ?

I started filling out the application for dtv and it says that my passport has to be ‘valid for at least six months from the date of visa application for single entry and one year for multiple entry’ but my passport expires in 8 months. I have already applied for another passport but it will take at least 2 months to get it. And I also need to be in Thailand for that 😥

Does anyone have experience with this? Can I still apply or it’s automatic rejection?

2. I have a passport valid to September 2 2026

This is going to sound stupid… But how strict is the 6 month passport validity? I’m trying to plan a last minute family trip and just found out that one of our passports will be under the 6 month mark by a few days. 😑 US Passport, 1 week trip in Thailand. Will be flying from Germany.

UK passport, yearly extension retirement plus multiple re-entry permit.

I am running out of pages in my passport and will need to get a new passport in London when I am there in a couple of weeks.

The issue is that when I come back to BKK, with both the new and old passport, I will be flying out of Thailand again the next day for a week. So I will not have an opportunity to get the stamps transferred to my new passport on my first re-entry to Thailand with the new passport.

my question is.... Will my yearly extension retirement plus multiple re-entry permit in the old passport still be valid on the second entry? Thanks for your time and advice,

Does your passport have to have 6 months valid when renewing your retirement visa? How early can you apply for your new one?

Hello :) Can I still get my 1-year retirement extension done if my passport expires in 9 months? I will go to my home country in the meantime for a new passport. Thanks :)

Question, I’m currently in the US for 3 or 4 months, my Non O extension expires Mar of 26, I’m reading that renewal of extension requires a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining, my passport expires in July 26 which is short of 6 months. My concern is if I renew while in US that with new passport # I will not be able to make deposits to my Thai bank account.

Hi all,

I know that when you leave thailand your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. In my case i am leaving thailand on march 8 2026. My passport expires on september 14 2026. So technically my passport is valid for 6 months and 6 days. Do the thai authorities also count that way is my question?
