Has this ever happened to anyone? I don’t know how to move forward from here, there’s no way to contact them, they have nothing on their website, no email, chat, and their phone number is not working - I paid the $500 so it’s frustrating to be stuck like this. Is there anyone I can contact?

I’m very confused, I don’t know even know what it means that the country didn’t match the passport - Im a US citizen with a US passport, so I’m confused what didn’t match.

EDIT: I applied online in Indonesia, my passport is USA, never went to an embassy.

Thank you 🙏

Hi, I am Nepali citizen. I am planning to travel to thailand on second week of Dec. for this, i have already obtained Visit Visa in my nepali passport. as the validity of my passport was less than 6 months, i renewed my passport. while getting new passport from Kathmandu passport office, they put stamp of "CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE" in my old passport, on which, Visa is granted.

My new passport also contains my old passport number in second page.

can i travel to thailand by carrying both passports?

or do i need to transfer my visa to new passport?

please suggest. if visa can be transferred to my new passport at Bangkok airport itself?

Hi, just looking for an up to date confirmation.

Currently on the last (extra-13-15th month) 90 days entry until 8 Feb 2025 of a one-year Multiple Entry Non-Imm 'O' visa obtained from Savannakhet .

Had to apply for a new passport as existing passport with above stamp expires in June 2025 (less than 6 months validity to use it for an entry after 8 Feb 2025 and not enough pages left). Received new passport today.

Do I need to go to my local Immigration office to transfer the entry stamp to 8 Feb 2025 to my new passport, or can I just exit Thailand with both old and new passports on or around 8 Feb 2025? Also, I would hope to be returning a few days later. Will I again need both passports, or just the new one?

Thanks for your assistance.

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.
