Has anyone ever had an issue with DTV requesting more documents? They asked for my passport with middle name and passport only have middle initial but the application requested my full name so wondering if my Driver License with middle name will work I submitted that but passport does not have middle name spelled out
Hello everyone, I know this question has been asked plenty of times but my situation doesn’t quite align with the similar ones found in search. I am applying in Ho Chi Minh as a remote worker. The question is the place of issue for the passport, my mexican passport issued in Shanghai has a remark about issuing state code as MEX and just a remark in the right bottom as SHANGHAI. Is it correct to select Shanghai as place of issue even if on the passport there are no exact remarks for this as “place of issue”? Thanks so much in advance
I've done a lot of visa runs, extensions, including land border runs in Laos and Myanmar. But I've been mostly living out of Thailand for over a year, but still visited and extended. When I use this passport I get asked what I'm doing in Thailand. Should I not get a DTV until I get a fresh passport? Or is this not a problem?
"Your visa application has been rejected. Passport expires on xx/xx/2027 Surname doesn't match the information on the passport."
Problem is, the surname, first name and middle names are exactly as on the passport. Also passport expiring in the end of 2027 should be fine, right ?
Only thing coming to my mind is that I had a tourist visa (approved) previously for which I didn't use my middle names. This time I used them because some people got refused for not using them.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
I want to apply again in another embassy but I am very confused on how to fill the form now.
Has this ever happened to anyone? I don’t know how to move forward from here, there’s no way to contact them, they have nothing on their website, no email, chat, and their phone number is not working - I paid the $500 so it’s frustrating to be stuck like this. Is there anyone I can contact?
I’m very confused, I don’t know even know what it means that the country didn’t match the passport - Im a US citizen with a US passport, so I’m confused what didn’t match.
EDIT: I applied online in Indonesia, my passport is USA, never went to an embassy.
Hi, I am Nepali citizen. I am planning to travel to thailand on second week of Dec. for this, i have already obtained Visit Visa in my nepali passport. as the validity of my passport was less than 6 months, i renewed my passport. while getting new passport from Kathmandu passport office, they put stamp of "CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE" in my old passport, on which, Visa is granted.
My new passport also contains my old passport number in second page.
can i travel to thailand by carrying both passports?
or do i need to transfer my visa to new passport?
please suggest. if visa can be transferred to my new passport at Bangkok airport itself?
Currently on the last (extra-13-15th month) 90 days entry until 8 Feb 2025 of a one-year Multiple Entry Non-Imm 'O' visa obtained from Savannakhet .
Had to apply for a new passport as existing passport with above stamp expires in June 2025 (less than 6 months validity to use it for an entry after 8 Feb 2025 and not enough pages left). Received new passport today.
Do I need to go to my local Immigration office to transfer the entry stamp to 8 Feb 2025 to my new passport, or can I just exit Thailand with both old and new passports on or around 8 Feb 2025? Also, I would hope to be returning a few days later. Will I again need both passports, or just the new one?
Hey guys, does anyone know if it's possible to travel to Thailand with new passport and a DTV issued on the old passport? The old passport punched to make it invalid by the embassy when the new passport was issued and returned back since it contains valid visas.
I know in many countries you can travel with both old and new passports and the visas in old passport is considered valid, but not sure how it is in Thailand. Is it required to transfer DTV to the new passport before travelling?
