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.

In Thailand on non-imm. type O. Had one-year extension in August good until 2 August 2023.

On my 1st extension in August 2021, a paper was inserted in my passport that told me to come visit IO again in 3 months to ensure I still had 800000 in my bank account.

On this 2nd extension there seems to be no such paper.

Can I skip the check for 800k in bank IO visit this time or do we need to do that every year?

Maybe its IO office policy specific. Thanks

Time for renewal of my extension of stay based on my non-immigrant O retirement at Chaengwattana, Bangkok

I have two questions regarding this

1. I tried to book time for an appointment but the webpage doesn't work. Do they still use the online booking or is it just out of order__ Does anyone know

1. I have tried to find the extra 3 forms to fill in on my computer. before I go to Immigration. Last year I prepared it, but the not very helpful woman handed over some other forms, she said they were new, but looked the same.

thanks!

What does the "application of stay is under consideration of immigration bureau. Applicant must contact the office on 4th July" means? Do I have to go to the immigration again?

Also can I go to the immigration in Chiang Mai instead of Pattaya?

Hey everyone,

I came to Thailand around the end of Nov, from the Netherlands, under the Test and Go scheme.

We get a 30 day no visa needed allowance, and I extended once at immigration bureau in Bangkok for another 30 days a month later

I am now in Chiang mai.

Can I extend again for another 30 or more days?

Or is there any other visa i should get to extend?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

Does anyone know the process for TM30? Is there an online version of this my landlord can do?

Been in Thailand 6 months went back to U.K. for 3 weeks just back my question is do I have to re do my address at immigration even though it’s all still the same as before.?

A few stories have popped up in the last few days regarding people overstaying their visas being caught and held in custody including what seems to be a mass round up in Bangkok.

For many people, It has been generally an acceptable process to "overstay" and pay the fine on the way out as opposed to the rigmarole of going out to immigration and getting your visa or your exemption extended.

It's quite evident that laws in Thailand can be enforced arbitrarily and it's better to er on the side of caution and do what is essentially the right thing as overstaying is generally considered quite a heinous offence in most countries.

DONT risk it. Go and pay for an extension and give yourself peace of mind. If your overstay is more than 4 days you will also save money.

Does the 90 reporting applies only if you are physically in the country ? For example, on the 80th day, I exit the country and 20 days later I re-enter (lets assume all re-entry permit, validity etc is ok). In this case am I 10 days late, or does the 90 day clock starts again at day 1 of re-enter date.
