My passport has about 2 years validity left in it.

If i get a 5 year SP visa and it needs to get transferred to the new passport, will I encounter problems with immigration and proof of enrollment in a course ?

Ok, I get a new passport soon.

But I have questions.

Do I have to transfer the visa and other information, like entry stamp immediately?

Also same questions for bank and phone company, is it a problem, I do that a bit later.

Question is also related to the fact I had an accident. I cannot go anywhere, for at least 2 months, if surgery is needed, maybe longer.

Banks will probably not notice that, but I also have to for fill my 90 days, online in 6 weeks. So that could be a problem is passport nr is not same.

Thank you.

Hi, has anyone else on a dtv lost their passport and had the embassy transfer over the visa to their new passport? My DTV was issued in London so I think my first step should be to contact them, any advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation please?

Edit: To be clear I lost my passport outside of Thailand and I'll want to re-enter on a brand new one, not in possession of the old passport only a photocopy of the data page.

Guys, if you change into new passport, where you need to report so the DTV Visa can link to new passport?

Thank you in advance!🇹🇭

My passport, which has my DTV linked to it, has a minor tear on the first page right after the bio-data section. This happened when airport staff flipped through the pages roughly. I was able to enter without issue, but I’m concerned the tear might worsen.

If I renew my passport and have the new one sent to Thailand, will I need to apply for a brand-new DTV from the start? Or can I continue to use the old, slightly damaged passport together with the new one until my current DTV expires? I’m aware the visa is tied to the old passport number, which won’t match the reissued passport.

Your advice would be appreciated.

My current extension of stay (business) runs out at the end of Nov '25.

I have just renewed my UK passport.

To save a distant trip to immigration can I leave my stamp in my old passport and get it put into my new passport when renewed in Nov.

Or do I need to transfer the stamp now?

I have a DTV visa. Next year my passport will need to be renewed in my home country. As I understand from reading different posts about this topic, when I'm in Thailand again, I can just go to immigration with both passports and they will transfer the visa to the new passport.

My question is this: can I enter the country by BKK airport with the new passport (carrying the old one as a backup) and the e-visa? What will the immigration officer as airport customs do? Will that officer transfer the visa? Or will he give me a 60 day stamp and I need to go to immigration office and have the proper DTV stamp and visa transfered?

Do I need to do this process for the remainder of the validity of the visa? Because if that's the case then I need to carry the old passport every time I enter the country, go to immigration every time and have it transfered.

Or will it be a one-time transfer and I will get a new e-visa document showing the new passport number?

I hope I explained my question clearly. Thanks for reading and answering :)

My child is currently living in Thailand with a Non-O visa. Her passport will expire in May 2026, while her visa will expire on 28 January 2026. We plan to renew the visa around December 2025 or January 2026, but we will renew her passport around October/November 2025 before that. In this case, does the Non-O visa stamp need to be transferred to the new passport, or can we just keep it in the old passport and use both passports when applying for the extension?

Inside new passport, there is observation page that mentioned OLD passport information, does it enough to check old visa records for thai immigration?

Just to address a common question here. Here's the response from the Thai authorities to this question.

"If your current passport with your visa has expired, you must carry both your old passport (containing the valid visa) and your new passport whenever you travel to Thailand. Immigration officers will refer to your visa on your old passport when processing your entry and stamp your new passport accordingly. In the event that you lose the old passport containing the visa, you will be required to apply for a new visa without exception. Please note that we are unable to transfer a visa from an old passport to a new one."

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on a Non-ED+ visa (from university) since 2022. I’ve just graduated and recently found a job, so now I’m planning to apply for a Non-B visa at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Does anyone here have experience with that embassy and the Non-B application process?

Also, do I need to cancel my current extension before going to Vietnam, or can I just proceed with the new application directly?

Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you so much in advance! 🙏
