I recently renewed my passport and had my retirement visa transferred to the new passport. Immigration now requires a new TM30 even though I remain at the same address. My question is, how does this affect my 90 day check-in timing? Does the new TM30 reset the 90 day clock, or do I continue check in at the date specified by my last check-in notice under my old passport?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Do i need to visit immigration office after my passport renewal to copy the entry stamp from the old passport? Is there any specific form for that?

What about leaving Thailand with a passport and entering with a new passport but with a re-entry permit stamped on old passport?...I know that I/we will have to show both passports to the IO but can I/we write the re-entry permit number into the "visa Number" space on the TDAC even if the passport number is different?

Hi everyone, I already have an approved DTV visa, but I need to renew my passport soon.

After I get my new passport, my DTV visa will still be in my old one. In this case, can I bring both my old and new passports when I enter Thailand? Will immigration accept that?

My old passport may be marked as invalid (cut corner or stamped), but the DTV visa page will remain intact.

Has anyone had experience entering Thailand like this? Or should I apply for a visa transfer to the new passport after arriving?

Thank you so much in advance 🙏

Just got my Canadian passport renewed from Canada consulate in BKK and delivered to me in Chiang Rai. I have the previous, now cancelled passport. Do I need to go to immigration and get the new passport updated with current stamp?

For the DTV visa, my passport expires in a little less than 12 months. I'm assuming that will be a problem right?

Hi everyone!

I have a question for those who’ve had experience with the DTV visa. I’ll need to renew my passport soon, but I’ve been told there’s no official procedure to transfer the DTV visa stamp to a new passport. That means I’ll have to carry both the old and new passports when entering or leaving Thailand.

Has anyone here gone through this situation?

How does it work in practice at immigration?

Any tips or things I should be aware of when traveling with two passports?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello all, I have been living in Thailand since May 2023 on a Retirement Visa. I just got my new 12 month extension in May this year and the lady at Immigration pointed out that my passport runs out in March 2026 so she could only stamp me in until then. I am going for a quick trip back to my home country Australia very soon , I have a re-entry stamp in my passport now and was going to get a new passport while I’m in Australia which brings me to the question, What can I expect upon my return to Thailand regarding my old passport with the current Visa stamp and re-entry permit? Is there something I should do before go to Australia?

Hey I'm running out of room in my passport. I just got a 90 day stamp. Anyone know what the time is to get a new passport from the US embassy?? I heard the new process is just to ship it to them and they ship it back.

I have obtained DTV in last year. My visa is sticker visa type. Now my passport is going to expire in coming December thus I would play new passport in my resident country. How do I transfer my dtv visa to New passport? TIA.
