Anyone done a passport change (expired/lost) on a DTV eVisa? Was it straight forward?

My son was born in Thailand and his his mother is a Thai citizen so obviously he’s (half) Thai.

When he was 7 he came with me to the UK (I’m a British citizen) and we have both lived together in the UK for the past 7 years

Now he’s 14 he is returning to his mother in Thailand to finish his studies at an international school.

His Thai passport has expiring a few years ago

He has years left on his British passport.

My situation and question is this

If he returns to Thailand on his British passport, he will get a visa exemption at immigration.

However, he has a Thai ID card and in my opinion he doesn’t need a visa once the exemption expires because he’s a Thai national and once in the country that’s it.

But his mother thinks he has to come in on a Thai passport otherwise he will end up needing a visa.

Am I correct?

Or is his mother correct?

Thanks 🙏

How to handle entering on a new passport, when the eVisa is issued for the old / expired passport?

Since the DTV is a whopping 5 year visa, which lets your squeeze out even almost 6 years, it is likely that a currently valid passport will expire before the duration of the eVisa does. E.g. my passports expire in about 4.5 years.

Does anyone have confirmation how this situation is handled? So far I have heard that if you have a stamped visa or an extension of stay, that stamp can (and has to be) transferred into the new passport at immigration.

However, with PDF eVisa, no sich mechanism exists. Some statements claim that in that case, people should travel with both their expired passport matching the eVisa AND the new valid passport to be stamped in on. But I have not found any official information about that. Does entering on an expired passport + corresponding eVisa + new passport really work? Alternatives?

Thank you.

Hello I lived in Phuket for many year but moved back overseas just before COVID.

I have sole custody of my “Luuk Krung” Daughter granted through a divorce at the amphur in Phuket .

My Daughter left Thailand on her Thai passport ( that is now expired) and entered the U.S.on her US passport .

We are now planning a trip back to Thailand for a visit and I want her travel completely as a US citizen , I plan on not showing her expired Thai passport .

My question is will they see in the system that she was cleared out on her Thai passport and if so is that a problem if I do as planned ?

I just joined this group with the hope someone with knowledge in this area can give me the facts

Thanks

Wife's niece ( Thai/Australian) Thai passport has expired. If she enters on her Aus passport, renews her Thai one here (Pattaya), planning to stay 3 months or more, would she have to leave Thailand on Aus passport during that time in order to not overstay on Aus passport or as she will have a new Thai one not have to worry?

Thanks for advice 😎

My mother in law lost her Thai ID and her Thai passport is expired. She is in the US with a green card but we have tickets to Thailand in January. What are our options?

So my passport expires this June on the 25th. I have to extend my tourist visa visa n the 24th. A few questions...

Can a temporary passport allow me to extend? Also if my passport is away to be renewed, can a temporary passport be a good solution in the meantime. Or should I wait till I extend, get 60 days, and then send it off to be renewed? And is it possible to extend on an expired passport?

My wifes Thai passport has expired , we live in Perth West Australia is a team coming to Perth so we can renew her passport and visa ? We do not have the money to travel to Sydney and accommodation. Looking forward to a reply Thankyou

Another question please. My mum has dual citizenships but lives permanently in Thailand. Her Thai passport has expired. Can she travel to Australia on Australian passport then return back to Thailand indefinitely on Australian passport? Will there be any negative consequences from the immigration from doing this?
