Hey guys, just passed through DMK immigration and the officer decided to get a little creative. Instead of stamping page 20 which got my departure stamp from Malaysia, he flipped back and put today’s entry stamp right in the middle of page 10.

Has anyone else had their stamps jump around like this? Do the officers at the 90-day reporting or extensions mind if the pages aren't in order?

Make sure you have the passport your DTV was applied for with you and make sure they stamp it 180 days! My passport expired..

Ok, so I'm used to visas being printed and stuck into my passport - old school maybe..

Anyhow, came here twice on my DTV, gave them my new passport, all the DTAC and DTV paperwork at immigration. Smiled, heard him stamp my passport, off I went.

Only to glance at my passport 50 days into a 70 day stay and noticed the last two VISA stamps were 60 day tourist visas. Went to a visa place. They charged me 4k bht and said all sorted.

Got to the new electronic passport control, red warming lights and off to immigration..

Long story short:

1) Visa firm had done nothing, no notes on record

2) Showed him my paperwork, correct DTAC with visa number entered on both occasions. And valid DTV

3) He asked to see my last passport, showed him a pic. All good.

He then advised me to bring both passports as the DTV visa is assigned to the old passport. (I can get that changed at the embassy apparently when I'm back)..

Told me to make sure they stamp it correctly...

Then stamped my passport and said "all done, have a nice day".

Bit stressful but easy enough to be fair. He said having all the paper visas helped a lot. So much for the visa company. Will be paying them a visit in four weeks wjwn I'm back.

Hi I’m arriving this Wednesday with my newly acquired METV . Can I ask if my passport will be stamped in the same format as my previous ones ( which were the tourist exempt stamps ) or will my stamp be different ?

I’m only asking in order that when I pass through immigration I can check I have been given the correct stamp and duration of 60 days as I understand if I don’t check before leaving the immigration desk I can’t change it later if it’s incorrect.

Please guys no acidic or rude comments about this subject as this is a concern for an overthinker like me . Thanks in advance 👍

If I understand the process for moving stamps to a new passport correctly (Non-O Over 50 Extension) at CW:

Enter Thailand with both passports, new passport gets stamped in.

At CW

* Need transfer stamp form and both passports

* Updated bank book and copy (bank book only. Not the full year report that takes a week from Bangkok Bank?)

* Copy of photo pages from each passport

* Copy of last arrival stamp (from the new passport) and last extension (from the old passport)

They move the stamp to the new passport.

And then, since I got my multiple re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi, I need to take both passports there to move the re-entry permit, which I can do on my next flight out.

Am I missing anything?

How large are Visa and Multiple Reentry stamps?. - I would imagine that if one travels in and out of Thailand fairly frequently you would likely need additional pages added to their passport. Is this common? Thanks

I've been approved for a DTV, but I'm running out of pages in my passport. Since immigration officers love to completely waste pages by stamping 3 pages ahead, I only have maybe 10 more pages. Which I'm not sure will last 5 years. If I have to get a new passport, will my DTV still apply?

I had 60 day tourist visa and spent about 30 days of it then moved other countries.

If I want to re enter again do I have to prepare something?

Also they haven't stamped my passport for the first entry.
