Advice for Dummies (That would be me)

Don't get your DTV and then renew your passport, or you are back to square one.

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa application for Myanmar passport holders.

I am currently in Thailand on a Non-ED visa and working remotely for a foreign firm. I plan to switch to DTV (Workcation category) soon. However, my passport is expiring soon, and I need to renew it before applying.

The only way I can renew my passport in Bangkok is to change from a PV (Visit Passport) to a PJ (Job Passport) for some reason through an agent.

For any Myanmar nationals who have successfully applied for DTV, does the passport type (PJ) matter? Has anyone faced issues because of their passport type when applying for DTV?

Would appreciate any insights.

Hi I have applied for passport renewal as my current passport is expiring within next six months. The problem is my DTV was issued on my old passport and apparently there's no way to change the passport details online! Can you please guide me how would it work, would there be a issue in immigration as i might travel when i get my new passport from UK!

Thanks

Hi All 👋 we are in Thailand with our DTV visas and my partners Australian passport expires towards the end of the year, we are doing a bit of travelling and some countries I know need six month left on the passport to enter. We plan on renewing the passport this week in Phuket, however we are unsure now what happens to his DVT visa 🤪 does anyone know? Many thanks 🙏

Hello all...although my US passport is good for another 8 years all my pages are almost used up from my traveling. Anyone know how long it will take at the US consulate in Chiang Mai or Bangkok office to get a new passport?

I hope to get some answers from this fine group. If I am in my home country, and I get a new passports and the DTV is applied with my old passport, is there anything that I need to do on my end to "transfer" (I know it is a piece of paper) the visa to the new passport?

Should I bring the old passport with me when entering Thailand again just in case?

Thanks in advance :-)

Question on changing to the DTV from another Thai visa.

My current Thai visa will expire in March, and I would like to renew my passport before applying for the DTV, as my passport is also due to expire next year.

While having a new passport delivered here to Thailand in February, can I then leave using my old passport in March, and then apply for the DTV for my new passport right as the old visa expires?

Or, would I need to "cancel" my old visa in the system, regardless of whether I would be applying for the DTV and later re-entering on the new passport?

My passport is running out of empty pages and I've ordered a new one. What's the process for updating to the new passport on the dtv? I saw a post you can transfer the visa over but it's a digital not physical visa sticker.

I have renewed my UK passport. My old passport has my DTV stamp. Do I need to leave Thailand to get a DTV stamp in my new passport? Thanks. 🙏

Good evening to all, thank you in advance for the help, I have two question:

the first is that my one year non immigrant O visa married to Thai will expire on 28 may 2025, my passport will expire on 12 may 2026, can I will apply for a new visa with the actual passport or I need to renew the passport before apply to the new annual visa?

The second question: if I have to renew the passport I need to go to the immigration office to transfer the actual visa to the new passport or I can use the two passport to move around?

Thank you again.
