I’m a U.S. Citizen living in Khon Kaen on a retirement visa.

Current passport expires April, 6 2026.

Current visa expires November 21 2025.

Can I apply for a “new” 1 year retirement visa on November 1 2025 so that there’s at least 6 months on my passport?

Hi,

Has anyone experience with getting a new passport when reentering Thailand with dtv visa? How is it to handle with the Thai embassy? Because of the passport number and issue dates

GETTING DTV with an expiring passport (late 2025)

So basically trying to get the dependent DTV for my wife after the gay marriage law comes into effect this 22nd.

Her passport expires November 2025, and its currently Jan.

My question is:

should we renew her passport first and THEN get the visa (American) but I have no idea how to do that while abroad. Nor how long it takes.

OR is it okay to do it now, and when she renews, do they cut out the DTV from the old passport and re-apply it to the new one?

After some advice 🙂

My passport needs to be renewed in a few months time, is it best to renew it early then apply or will the visa details be transferred?

Also I own a couple of ltd companies, what proof will I be asked for to say I can manage them remotely and still have an income.

TIA

Hey all,

Since I travel a lot for my work my passport will soon run out of pages, maybe 2 left at present.

When I renew my passport do I need to re-apply for my DTV, or after a trip to immigration can they do something to connect the passports so I carry both till the DTV expires.

I'm thinking I will have to re-apply but not sure.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I can't find the information, but does our passport have to be valid for 5 years before we apply?

Let me ask one thing about DTV visa. My current passport is going to expire in two years’ time. If I got DTV visa for five years. My DTV visa is still eligible under my new passport ? So that I can decide whether I should apply DTV by now. Thank you.
