Does anyone know what’s the best process of getting the DTV E-Visa transferred over to a new passport?

My passport was about to expire, so I ordered a new one a few weeks ago and hopefully getting it in three or four weeks ! (UK Passport)

It’s gonna be a pretty quick turnaround. I may only be a few weeks in between when I receive my new passport and then when I have to leave the country and re enter for another 180 days!

I’ve read mixed advice online about whether to go to immigration and get my DTV transferred over before or after I travel in & out the country? Or if to just re enter the country with the DTV & both passports?! Surely that’s not a good idea 😅

(I’m assuming that I get to keep my old passport when I go to collect my new one?)

Pls don’t get mad at me if I’m asking obvious questions I have heard mixed advice so idk x

FYI—

To all DTV E–Visa applicants in the Western region of USA (consular jurisdiction of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles):

the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles has Updated their DTV E–Visa Financial Requirements as of December 3, 2025:

it is Now = USD $17,000.- Dollars, unlike at the Thai Embassy in DC or the Thai Consulates in Chicago or New York, where it is still USD $16,000.- Dollars

I entered Thailand yesterday for the first time with DTV at DMK. I received the DTV soft power with Arun Thai cooking in Hanoi. I gave the IO my passport and printed out DTV e visa. No questions asked. Stamped me in for 180 days.

Thanks for all the useful posts and comments from this group.

I have my interview for my DTV e visa in Vientane on the 12th. Do I need to print off all the documents I submitted online?

Looking for advice – change of travel date after DTV e-visa submission (London)

Hi all,

I submitted my DTV e-visa application to the Royal Thai Embassy in London on 27 October. The portal still shows *Processing – Pending Document Check*. On my application I put an intended arrival of 1 December, but my plans have changed and I’m now considering travelling on 11 November.

I’m worried my case might be low priority because the original arrival date was a month away, and I’m unsure how best to notify the embassy so the visa arrives in time.

Questions for anyone who’s done this recently:

* Have you changed your travel date after submitting—did it cause any issues or delays?

* Did you email the London e-visa team? If so, which email address worked and what subject line did you use?

* Did you attach your updated flight itinerary or re-upload it on the portal?

* After emailing, how long did it take for them to respond or update the status?

* Any tips on wording so it’s seen as informational (not asking them to amend core details) and possibly helps prioritise due to earlier travel?

For context: I’m not trying to create a duplicate application—just inform them of the new intended travel date and check if they need anything from me.

Thanks in advance for any experiences, email contacts, or practical tips!

Does anyone know why the visa fee is 12,500 baht (600aud) and not 10,000 as advised?

All of your testimonials helped me a lot, so it's my turn to come back here.

Hi all, this one’s for folks who have acquired their DTV via an agency. Once approved was the DTV E-visa sent to your agencies person of contact email id and then forwarded to you by them? Or did you receive it on your personal email id directly from the embassy.

If someone could relay their DTV experience in applying with an agency and getting it done successfully, it would be super helpful to know the precise steps and order it went for you.

Soft power for medical treatment approved. Applied 5th of august, was asked for more documentation yesterday (employment letter and new bank statements) and today it was approved. 🥳
