Hey guys, does anyone know if it's possible to travel to Thailand with new passport and a DTV issued on the old passport? The old passport punched to make it invalid by the embassy when the new passport was issued and returned back since it contains valid visas.

I know in many countries you can travel with both old and new passports and the visas in old passport is considered valid, but not sure how it is in Thailand. Is it required to transfer DTV to the new passport before travelling?

Thanks for your replies.

Hi Guys

I am wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me and could provide some information.

I have my DTV and we are now trying to apply for my wife’s DTV. I noticed that my DTV is issued to my new passport number as I had just renewed my passport because my old one was full, however my marriage documents are all on my old passport number so the passport number on my DTV and the passport number on my marriage documents do not match. Should this be a problem when applying for my wife’s DTV or could I just supply copies of both my passports and explain the situation? Has anyone else had a similar situation to mine? I know it probably depends on the embassy as well. We are planning to apply either in Vientiane or HCMC.

So, I messed up. My non-O visa runs out on November 7th and while I have been otherwise approved for a 1-year marriage visa extension, I don't have any pages left in my passport.

Okay, I actually have 3 pages left, but they all say "Endorsements" in tiny letter on the side of the page and apparently you can't use those for visas...despite two countries already using half of one of those pages for visa stamps...regardless today Thai immigration told me they can't use them.

Am I screwed? The US Embassy website seems to say that a lack of pages is not a reason for an emergency or temporary passport, and they don't add pages anymore.

I can't apply for a new passport here in Bangkok because my visa will run out long before I get it.

Did I fuck up so bad by not knowing about these final three pages in my passport that I now have to leave my wife just before her birthday, my condo that I have a contract for, my prepaid Christmas plans, and go home for months while I sort out a new passport? Is there no other solution?

UPDATE

After some difficulty, I was able to make an appointment to renew my passport (usually done through mail only) and I will have the chance to state my case for an emergency passport (usually not given in my particular case) so I can get a visa stamp and stay in the country.

Let's say i want to apply in Vietnam, is it ok enter the country but applying for DTV with anoter passport?

(both are same nationality if matter)

Any experience?

Just before my latest Thai tourist visa expired I thought I would just fly to Phnom phen for few days to visit a friend then fly back in and get 60 days on arrival. I was denied entry , held in don muang immigration cells and made to return to Phnom phen , so I thought sod it and went to Malaysia partly because my passport pages were now full and I got 90 days on arrival ... I've been out Thailand now since 10th august .

Getting the new passport is proving to be a major headache (UK) paid more than three weeks ago and no progress has been made. I think I'll be stuck here until near December . Will I be able to get a visa on arrival after having been out the country 3 + months by time I return.

Due to having also lost my phone and access to my banks getting a tourist visa isn't an option as I've no means to prove proof of funds ...

I'm told from 4th October walk in tourist visa applications cease both here in kl and penang and from 10th it goes e visa ... I can't get the apps on new phone due to having lost old phone number .

Thoughts ...on what to do...appreciated . I suspect it'll be well into November by the time I finally get my new passport . Can't even go in person to UK embassy , online only , the GOV.UK website is abomination ... They just take me on never ending loop, with a different person asking me the same questions everytime I contact the helpline . 😂

Naiive Question I know,

I have a new passport and my visa is in my old passport. I was going to renew my permit to stay so I hadn't been to the immigration yet. i thought I would do it all in one visit.

However I am now thinking to leave and apply to come back on DTV. Does anyone know if it is ok to leave the country with my new passport and just take the old passport with the visa to show emigration?

Google says yes but I thought people here might know specifically for Thailand Thanks

Hello, does anyone know the process of transferring DTV between passports? I have the visa in mine (Jakarta) and concerned with my passport filling up in the next year.

Hello, I received a non-immigrant multiple entry B visa from Thai immigration on 26 March 2024. Instead of expiring at the end of this year or early next year, the visa expires on October 9 because that was when my old passport was expiring.

My visa has now been moved to my new passport but I now hear that it won’t be extended until the end of the year and a application has to be made for a new non-b visa. Is this true?

I ask because I have already booked tickets to Italy end of September until October 13 and and my current visa expires on October 9. I thought this would be a simple matter of extension but it doesn’t seem to be the case?

Hi everyone,

My passport is full but not expired

So i got a new passport. My marriage visa is in my old passport ( but not expired), do i need to transfer the visa to my new passport eventhough this october I have to renew my marriage visa?

Thanks in adance

I hope you can help. I just got back in New York and my passport got washed with the laundry. 🙄My multiple entry permit and my Non-O stamp are somewhat readable. I’m applying for a new U.S. Passport right away. Will Thai Immigration let be back in with two passports? Can I go to the Thai Consulate in NYC and get my new passport stamped with a new Non-O Visa stamp and a new Multiple Reentry Permit stamp from them? I’ll be in the US several months so I have time. Thank you.
