So I got one question. I got my Visa approved recently. If I would change my employment to a new company. Do I have to apply for a new visa with the same process or what do I need to do?

Question on expiring passports and extension of stay.

I have an OA visa and I am on an Extension of Stay to October 2025 (multi-entry). I do the extension in early September each year.

My (Australian) passport will expire in January 2026.

I have read various posts about this and it seems to me that the simplest approach is to get a new passport before attempting the extension.

I think I can renew the passport in Thailand, but this seems quite a lengthy process.

As an alternative, I have no problem with renewing my passport in Australia mid-year prior to doing the extension in Thailand in September. But that will mean that I leave Thailand on the old passport, and return with the new.

As I understand it, I simply show both passports on return and get the existing extension moved to the new passport once I have arrived.

What is unclear to me is

(a) I have an existing multi-entry stamp in my old passport. Is this still valid (and thus allowing re-entry)?

(b) Once arrived back in Thailand, do I need to immediately "transfer the stamps", or can I just wait until I do the extension, (showing both passports + associated paperwork/insurance/funds etc), as the new extension will go straight into the new passport.

Looking for advice on flaws in my logic/understanding.

Thanks all.

My husband is currently back home in the UK. He’s applying for and will receive a new passport.

He’s on a non-O “Thai wife” visa and has a valid multiple reentry permit.

Can someone help to guide what the steps might be upon entering Thailand with said new passport - any additional forms to fill at immigration or prior to arrival in Thailand?

Advise about transferring his visa over once in Thailand would also be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Has anybody successfully cancelled an ED Visa after getting approved for a DTV? Exited Thailand with a Re-entry permit on an ED visa as a fail safe in case the DTV doesn't get approved. Got approved for a DTV then entered Thailand today stamped with the DTV. In planning to cancel the ED Visa in Bangkok, I requested for certification to cancel from the language school and they asked for the departure date. Similarly, most posts here suggested to cancel the ED visa first, depart and get the DTV.

My question: Do I have to leave Thailand again when I get the ED visa cancelled and re-enter with the DTV, again? TIA.

***Update, already processed the cancellation. Wasn't told I had to leave but then again they didn't say anything except hand the passport back. Unfortunately everything is in Thai and there's no "Cancelled" stamp. Anybody else have been through this process yet and can share what a right cancelation stamp should look like?

Is it easy to transfer your work visa?

For example if I get sponsored by company A, and then after a year apply for company B, will B have a hard time getting the work visa transferred?

I ask because so many companies ask if I am authorized to work in Thailand and if I need visa sponsorship, but only one company (I dont want to work long term in this one) is willing

Hello admins and everyone,

I would like to ask about "Stamps transferring process to new passport"

My current visa is Non-O Spouse Visa.

I have all documents needed.

Question is: Does my husband need to be present for this process?

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences! :)
