- RE-LINKING DTV with NEW PASSPORT?! MINE WAS STOLEN.-

Hi everyone,

I’m a Canadian currently in Thailand, and my passport was stolen while I was in Europe before re-entering Thailand. I already have a new passport, and my DTV visa is electronic — it was not a physical sticker, and I still have the DTV approval email, receipt, and e-Visa PDF copy.

When I entered Thailand on November 6, I was given a 60-day tourist stamp on arrival, but I’d really like to continue using my valid DTV visa that’s linked to my stolen passport.

The Royal Thai Consulate in Hanoi told me that the DTV can’t be transferred to a new passport, but before applying again I wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully:

1. Re-linked their electronic DTV to a new passport after a theft or renewal, or

2. Had an agent or immigration office assist with this exact process.

Documents I currently have:

• photocopy in black and white of the stolen passport ID page and all pages with stamps before exiting Thailand to go to Europe in September

• Police report (original + translation)

• New passport copy

• Entry stamp (Nov 6) and TDAC form

• DTV e-Visa PDF, approval email, and payment receipt

• TM30 (current residence)

• Supporting docs: passport replacement application + proof of payment, updated lease with my new passport number on it, most recent bank statement, outbound flight and updated Muay Thai invitation letter with my new passport number on it.

Has anyone successfully done this, or know which immigration office or visa agent can handle it?

Otherwise, if you had to renew your passport and your DTV was linked to your old passport - how did you fix this?!!

Any first-hand experience would really help me decide whether to try re-linking or re-apply from scratch.

Thanks in advance for any guidance 🙏

Is normal i receive stamp on my passport no big sticker with dtv ?

I paid for an e-visa in August from Thai consulate in London, so I thought that I had 90 days straight through without having to report to immigration as I would have done when if I arrived on visa exempt, but when I arrived in Bangkok I was stamped in for 60 days and told I had to report to immigration on or before date stamped, so I thought fair enough just a formality, ooh more to pay. WRONG after being processed get to counter and Told 2000 Baht please. So why did I have to pay Thai embassy for e-visa and then pay another 2000Baht to the immigration office. Surely that tells me one thing that getting an e-visa is a waste of time and money. Grouse over😠😡

When entering Thailand with a Non-O Multiple Entry Visa (One Year Validity - Multiple Entries.)

Would it be a current Thai immigration rule that the holder of this Non-O Multiple Entry Visa (One Year Validity - Multiple Entries.) while in Thailand has to exit after 90 days and then re-enter to obtain another 90 day stamp for that re-entry.

Can this be a land border bounce, a land border exit and re-entry after a 24 hour stay outside Thailand, or requiring an outbound flight and then an inbound flight for re-entry to Thailand.

I am currently applying for my e-visa from Vietnam, where I am visiting. I have two questions. First, should I put my current address in Vietnam first, or my permanent residence address in my home country? Second, I am arriving in Thailand by train from Vientiane to Udon Thani. Which immigration checkpoint should I select: Fraternity Bridge 1, 2, 3, or 4?

I applied for a non-O visa from USA over a month ago. My flight is next week. I’m starting to worry. Evisa site says documents have been reviewed and it’s “pending approval”. Just emailed them to find out what’s going on. Is this normal? 

Hi! I am applying visa from Bali Jakarta

Hi. Thanks for your help in advance.

I am currently applying e-visa online in NZ for the

“Pensioner aged 50 plus with pension for 3 months only “ which I am guessing is the Non -O ?

The thing is I only see a few visa questions at a time so I don’t really know all the things I have to do for the whole application

1. Does anyone have all the questions or somewhere I could go to see them all.

2. I dont have a pension so I hoping this is not a questions cos I’m not 65 yet.

3. When you get to the date of departure and return it says intended but then the next question says what are the days you are flying etc

Do you have to like book a ticket and pay for it even before you know if your application is successful ?

4. Do you need to show a utility bill for where you live ?

5. Do I need a flight out of Thailand on the 59 th day as I think NZ airlines ask if you when you depart NZ

5. Any other advise welcome as the visa here is $800 NZ so I definitely need to pass it .

In September I applied to the Embassy in London for a 6 month Multi entry Tourist e-Visa sending all the necessary documentation which included as specifically asked for my date of departure and return using Emirates. My flights were leaving the UK on 26th October and returning on the 7th April next year.

I received the e-Visa quite quickly but I noticed that the dates were different to what I applied for, namely valid from 10th Setember until 8th March 2026.

I immediately sent an e-mail to the Embassy asking if I was OK until my return flight on 7th April but got no response so I send another with the same result.

I then send a long hand letter with all the attachments but yet again I have received no response.

I have some important engagements late March next year and I'm getting really concerned about my travel arrangements. Am I worrying needlessly and will this e-Visa cover me for my planned stay. Some advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

Question:

Does each person in a family have to create an account on the Thai Embassy Visa website in order to get the E-visa?
