Hi - I have a couple questions regarding my Destination Thailand Visa as my US passport is expiring in January 2026.

-Is my understanding correct that I will need to show my new passport along with the old passport (or copy of old passport) that the DTV was approved for? Is there a way to transfer the DTV to the new passport?

-When entering Thailand with the DTV, will they reject entry if my old passport has less than 6 months remaining (I’m working on renewing my passport, but unsure how long it will take)?

Thanks in advance.

I'm applying for the DTV from Bali, US passport. I can stay in Bali for 16 more days.

Questions:

1-Is everything done online; no need to go to Jakarta?

2- Is 2 weeks plenty of time to get the visa?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone applied for the DTV from Manila, Philippines with a US passport and can share their experience?

I know although requirements are generally the same, the actual process and approval feedback differs between embassies. Thanks.

USA passport. My husband's 19 yr old nephew would like to visit us (we reside here) in Thailand for 6 months. What would be the best Visa for him to apply for?

Hello all...although my US passport is good for another 8 years all my pages are almost used up from my traveling. Anyone know how long it will take at the US consulate in Chiang Mai or Bangkok office to get a new passport?

Hello, my daughter is currently on a training scholarship at Thanyapura Sports Resort in Phuket. They originally had her enter Thailand on a non-ed immigrant visa (I think is what it was called). She had it extended and was in Phuket about a year and a half. She traveled to a competition in Europe in December and as the paperwork for her contract renewal was delayed, she ended up on overstay for a couple weeks; she paid the fee when she left. She now has a US passport - originally was on a Micronesian passport as she's dual citizen. Thanyapura had told her to go to Laos and apply for the DTV, which she did, but she was denied. They said the reason was lack of 500,000 in her account, though the training resort had provided a letter for her to confirm her financial support; the resort said that's all she needed, but apparently they were wrong. We are at a loss now as to what visa she should apply for. Her current contract is for a year. She is back in Micronesia and the e-visa site says US citizens applying in Micronesia must apply online through the Beijing embassy.

Any suggestions as to what visa she should apply for? Or should she just return on visa-exempt? Or is it a big risk of being denied entry because of the previous overstay (though on a different passport)?

US passport holders - for Place of issue, am I supposed to put "United States", or "United States Department of State"?

Coming to Thailand January 6th, US passport holder, do I need to apply for an ETA before I get there?

I have a silly question for US passport holders.

The form asks for city of birth but our passports use the state and country. Did anyone get any questions about this? I'm just not sure how they'll verify which city I was born in since nothing I'm submitting will have this info. I'm currently in HCMC and plan to apply here.
