What about leaving Thailand with a passport and entering with a new passport but with a re-entry permit stamped on old passport?...I know that I/we will have to show both passports to the IO but can I/we write the re-entry permit number into the "visa Number" space on the TDAC even if the passport number is different?

I currently hold a Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa. I will be traveling to Germany soon, where I will need to obtain a new passport. My current passport will likely be stamped as invalid.

What steps do I need to take to ensure I can re-enter Thailand and transfer my visa to the new passport upon my return?

I am applying with Muay Thai soft power at Jakarta embassy. How should I fill in my English and Chinese names? Such as below:

Full name on passport: Anthony Bernard Chan Dak Eng

Machine readable field reads: Chan<<Anthony<Bernard<Dak<Eng

The system populates as:

First Name: Anthony

Middle Name: Bernard Dak Eng

Last Name: Chan

1) Is this correctly filled in?

2) If the visa comes out as "Anthony Bernard Dak Eng Chan", will I have any problems at immigration?

Edited:

The confusion is because the Chinese name is "Chan Dak Eng".

First name: Anthony

Middle name: Bernard

Family name: Chan

Chinese name: Dak Eng

Dak Eng is populated into the middle name field. Is this correct?

Hi guys.

I was living in Thailand for 3 yrs on a work permit that ended late March.

I have dual nationality and left Thailand on the passport that my work permit was on.

I have returned early April on my other passport, Reason for changing passports was simply because my other one was full.

I will be leaving Thailand in the next few days to apply for my DTV.

Has anyone had any experience with changing passports etc, just worrying that it might look suspicious even though Thai immigration had no issues with it.

HELP❗️

Hi, I’m filling out the Digital Thailand Arrival Card (DTAC), but my passport only has a family name—no first name. The form won’t accept symbols like "-" and only allows letters. And filling in first name is compulsory. Has anyone dealt with this before or know what I should do? Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

Hi, I've gotten a new passport but the passport office didn't mention anything about my stamp.

I entered Thailand on a Visa exempt by air 2 months ago and extended the visa by 1 month.

This stamp expires on the 21st so I'll be flying into Hanoi from Chiang Mai.

I am also allegedly flying to Bangkok tomorrow but I just realized my stamp is in the old passport (which I have on hand). Please advise - the UK passport office never said anything about the stamp.

Hey folks,

I got my DTV, but the note in remarks is wrong, it says in Thai, Passport expires 7 Dec 2029. But my passport actually will expire 27th.

Could this be an issue? Should I contact the embassy to fix it?

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?

My DTV visa request was denied at washington DC royal thai embassy because “the information in the form didn’t match my passport”. They wouldn’t give me any details other than that as far as what didn’t match. I checked everything muliple times.

One of the questions on the form is “city of birth”. I put the city but my passport only says “California, USA”. Has anyone been denied for this before and for the next time should I put California for that question so it matches my passport?
