Quick question:

I have a Retirement Visa that expires this week, and I will be applying for a new one. I also have a brand new passport, but my current visa is in the old passport.

Do I need to transfer the old visa into the new passport before applying, or can I just bring both passports and have the new Retirement Visa placed directly into the new passport?

Thanks in advance.

Has anybody re-entered Thailand with a new passport and the DTV issued on the previous passport?

My passport will expire in 2027 and May I know DTV visa can still valid with new passport number for rest 3 years. Thank you 🙏🏻.

When receiving a new passport, do you need to get your visa stamp transferred or can simply carry both passports when dealing with immigration?

DTV VISA EXPERIENCE JAKARTA — QUESTION ABOOT NEW PASSPORT

I got my dtv visa today in Jakarta. Super easy process. Applied on Monday with medical reason and got it today. Now on the plain to Bangkok.

However my passport is almost full and they also wrote on my visa that it expires within the 5 years (2027), but I probably need a new passport already early 2025. Does anyone has any experience with this? Do you travel with your old and new passport and can that give any problems?

What do I have to do if I get a new passport and I have the DTV in the old one?

Needing visa transfer stamp onto my new passport - can you point me to the right place please? Laksi or Changwattana or 7/11 coffee counter?

Transfer of existing visum with EOS from an old to a new passport.

Easy peasy.

1.) Get your new passport 😉

2.) Copy ALL pages of your old passport.

3.) Copy picture page of your new passport.

4.) Fill out ½ an A4 from immigration.

5.) Go with all of the above to immigration within 1 minute.

6 ) About ½ an hour later, I had my stamp in my new passport. It is actually FOR FREE. In my case even with a new 90 day limit.

7.) TM30 notification: I did a new one online but the officer said that it is not necessary, the old printout would be OK.

Go eat a celebration noodle soup for 40 THB, and think about how old you will be in 10 years when you will have to do it again.

NB. Immigration Korat today.

after coming to Thailand with new passport, is it necessary to transfer the current visa to new passport? Do I get charged for not doing it?

How to handle entering on a new passport, when the eVisa is issued for the old / expired passport?

Since the DTV is a whopping 5 year visa, which lets your squeeze out even almost 6 years, it is likely that a currently valid passport will expire before the duration of the eVisa does. E.g. my passports expire in about 4.5 years.

Does anyone have confirmation how this situation is handled? So far I have heard that if you have a stamped visa or an extension of stay, that stamp can (and has to be) transferred into the new passport at immigration.

However, with PDF eVisa, no sich mechanism exists. Some statements claim that in that case, people should travel with both their expired passport matching the eVisa AND the new valid passport to be stamped in on. But I have not found any official information about that. Does entering on an expired passport + corresponding eVisa + new passport really work? Alternatives?

Thank you.
