- RE-LINKING DTV with NEW PASSPORT?! MINE WAS STOLEN.-

Hi everyone,

I’m a Canadian currently in Thailand, and my passport was stolen while I was in Europe before re-entering Thailand. I already have a new passport, and my DTV visa is electronic — it was not a physical sticker, and I still have the DTV approval email, receipt, and e-Visa PDF copy.

When I entered Thailand on November 6, I was given a 60-day tourist stamp on arrival, but I’d really like to continue using my valid DTV visa that’s linked to my stolen passport.

The Royal Thai Consulate in Hanoi told me that the DTV can’t be transferred to a new passport, but before applying again I wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully:

1. Re-linked their electronic DTV to a new passport after a theft or renewal, or

2. Had an agent or immigration office assist with this exact process.

Documents I currently have:

• photocopy in black and white of the stolen passport ID page and all pages with stamps before exiting Thailand to go to Europe in September

• Police report (original + translation)

• New passport copy

• Entry stamp (Nov 6) and TDAC form

• DTV e-Visa PDF, approval email, and payment receipt

• TM30 (current residence)

• Supporting docs: passport replacement application + proof of payment, updated lease with my new passport number on it, most recent bank statement, outbound flight and updated Muay Thai invitation letter with my new passport number on it.

Has anyone successfully done this, or know which immigration office or visa agent can handle it?

Otherwise, if you had to renew your passport and your DTV was linked to your old passport - how did you fix this?!!

Any first-hand experience would really help me decide whether to try re-linking or re-apply from scratch.

Thanks in advance for any guidance 🙏

Hi. I am living in Thailand on a non O retirement visa.

I have just had my passport stolen and am waiting for an appointment at the UK embassy for a new passport.

As far as I know it takes 3 months to get a new passport and my visa runs out on the 7th of May which obviously means I will be in overstay.

Just looking for any advice really

Hi can anyone help me. My passport got stolen from a hotel help desk. I have video footage to prove. Police got the passport back but it's been ripped up and I got a police report. I'm from the uk. What do I do and how much for a new uk passport?

Hello everyone I’m a Canadian Passport holder I was here on a 30 day Visa which I had planned to extend. I however am now in a huge emergency.i always keep my passport in my backpack I just noticed today that my backpack was cut and my passport has been stolen. My visa is expiring in 4 days. I’ve gone to the Canadian embassy to get a new passport they have given me the forms I need to get a new passport I also am going to the police station today to file a report. It will take 20 days to get a new passport which means I will have to overstay. I am in a panic about this. Is their anyway I can go to immigration with just a police letter and can extend my visa until my new passport arrives? I have no idea what to do here. I do not want to overstay and be fined or possibly even worse, I’m in the process of getting a non b visa to get a job here my paperwork and documents are being prepared. Any advice ?

Perhaps more interesting....do the Phuket police care if you know who stole your passport?
