DTV VISA EXPERIENCE JAKARTA — QUESTION ABOOT NEW PASSPORT

I got my dtv visa today in Jakarta. Super easy process. Applied on Monday with medical reason and got it today. Now on the plain to Bangkok.

However my passport is almost full and they also wrote on my visa that it expires within the 5 years (2027), but I probably need a new passport already early 2025. Does anyone has any experience with this? Do you travel with your old and new passport and can that give any problems?

Needing visa transfer stamp onto my new passport - can you point me to the right place please? Laksi or Changwattana or 7/11 coffee counter?

Transfer of existing visum with EOS from an old to a new passport.

Easy peasy.

1.) Get your new passport 😉

2.) Copy ALL pages of your old passport.

3.) Copy picture page of your new passport.

4.) Fill out ½ an A4 from immigration.

5.) Go with all of the above to immigration within 1 minute.

6 ) About ½ an hour later, I had my stamp in my new passport. It is actually FOR FREE. In my case even with a new 90 day limit.

7.) TM30 notification: I did a new one online but the officer said that it is not necessary, the old printout would be OK.

Go eat a celebration noodle soup for 40 THB, and think about how old you will be in 10 years when you will have to do it again.

NB. Immigration Korat today.

after coming to Thailand with new passport, is it necessary to transfer the current visa to new passport? Do I get charged for not doing it?

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.

Hi I have a friend who left the country due to illness but never cancelled their visa their work cancelled their work permit. How can they cancel their visa can it be done from overseas or can they get an agent to do it here. Also their passport is full so they'll be getting a new passport.

They may return next year to work.

Where in CW does one go to get visa transferred to a new passport ? I think no appointments are available for this so hopefully this can be done quickly. I really miss the old days when I could walk to Suan Plu.

Update on 'water damaged' visa page in passport.

I was advised to get a new passport. With the new passport in hand, I was able to get my Thai visa transfered to new passport.

I was worrying that I had to go back to Immgration office in Phuket, where visas were issued. No need to worry ... if your visas issued in Phuket, you get visa stamps transfered on same day. If visas issued in a different cities, transfer done next day.

The lesson: invest in a ziploc bag when cycling during the moonsoon.

Hello, I'm currently at Ranong border checkpoint and I need a quick info.

I just changed passport because the previous one was full, I have both passports with me.

They say they can't stamp me out on the new passport and I have to go immigration office first.

Can anybody confirm about that?

I'm not on any extension of stay.

Renewing extension of stay (marriage visa) with new passport

Hi. Scanned back through most recent posts and don’t see quite the answer I need. I have a new passport and transferred my extension of stay to that when I got back from uk. But my visa runs out 31/10 and I stupidly when I went to do that I didn’t ask them about what paperwork will be required for visa renewal this time regarding passport copies.

For this time will I need to photocopy all pages in old passport still?

Or just in the new passport as entry stamp and current extension of stay are in that?

Just preparing the beginning of the many pages of documents for visa renewal and don’t want to kill another tree if I don’t have to, and/or avoid heading to immigration ahead of time to check.
