Just renewed my passport to a new one. My retirement visa (Non-IMM O) also need to be extended next month.

Can I do these two tasks at the same time

1. transfer visa to new passport, and

2. extend visa in the new passport

Or I have to do it in two trips to immigration office.

Thanks to advise and share your experience

With my stay extension coming due 2/1/'26 I have remembered my passport expires 9/'26. Does that mean I need to renew my passport prior to extension to get the full year '2026 ?

So I got my 90 day non-o (marriage) single entry visa in England, waited 6 weeks in Thailand, applied for and recently got my 1 year extension (first time doing here), got my multi-entry permit and am good until October 2026.

Looking to next year extension I will have 9 months left in my passport when the extension ends. What are the options as I would need 12 months to do another extension? I heard visas can't be used once your passport is renewed.

If I go to UK and renew my passport October 2026, I would have to get another 90 day single entry visa in UK, wait 6 weeks in Thailand to apply for 1 year extension again, then wait 30 days again for processing? Or because I've had already done an extension in Thailand, would the processing time be less even though it's a new passport and new visa.

Can someone clarify the options, if any?

My passport, which has my DTV linked to it, has a minor tear on the first page right after the bio-data section. This happened when airport staff flipped through the pages roughly. I was able to enter without issue, but I’m concerned the tear might worsen.

If I renew my passport and have the new one sent to Thailand, will I need to apply for a brand-new DTV from the start? Or can I continue to use the old, slightly damaged passport together with the new one until my current DTV expires? I’m aware the visa is tied to the old passport number, which won’t match the reissued passport.

I'm sure it has happened...my passport had to be renewed and my retirement visa is in the old passport....do I present the old one with the new one at thai immigration? Please let me know if you have experienced this

I have a DTV visa. Next year my passport will need to be renewed in my home country. As I understand from reading different posts about this topic, when I'm in Thailand again, I can just go to immigration with both passports and they will transfer the visa to the new passport.

My question is this: can I enter the country by BKK airport with the new passport (carrying the old one as a backup) and the e-visa? What will the immigration officer as airport customs do? Will that officer transfer the visa? Or will he give me a 60 day stamp and I need to go to immigration office and have the proper DTV stamp and visa transfered?

Do I need to do this process for the remainder of the validity of the visa? Because if that's the case then I need to carry the old passport every time I enter the country, go to immigration every time and have it transfered.

Or will it be a one-time transfer and I will get a new e-visa document showing the new passport number?

I hope I explained my question clearly. Thanks for reading and answering :)

My child is currently living in Thailand with a Non-O visa. Her passport will expire in May 2026, while her visa will expire on 28 January 2026. We plan to renew the visa around December 2025 or January 2026, but we will renew her passport around October/November 2025 before that. In this case, does the Non-O visa stamp need to be transferred to the new passport, or can we just keep it in the old passport and use both passports when applying for the extension?

Inside new passport, there is observation page that mentioned OLD passport information, does it enough to check old visa records for thai immigration?

LTR- Pensioner

Applying for the LTR visa with a passport that expires in 2028. Does the LTR transfer when renewing the passport? I will be applying in the US and receive a printed copy of the visa. I am traveling elsewhere and don't have time to get a new passport before applying. TIA

I've just received my new passport, because the old one has expired. The embassy officers intentionally damaged the old one - they cut it and punched holes in it. Is it like it should be done? Will the Thai officers at the airport understand it?

Hey all,

My passport is expiring in March 2026. I have a DTV visa, and traveling in and out of Thailand frequently. My DTV visa is valid until 2029. How do I go about renewing passport?

I would prefer to renew passport in my home country, which I visit frequently.

Thanks in advance
