My DTV was the fastest ever approved. 6 days. Even for my last METV is took 35 days

@Tod ********

but also this stamp for immigration

@Tod ********

I just checked. You were correct, I need to carry the previous passport aswell according to the stamp.

@Tod ********

I had a visa, my passport expired. Got a letter from my embassy + new passport. Took it to immigration, visa was transferred. I had to do that 2x once in a 1 month period because I needed a temporary passport to renew my visa in time and then when my new passport arrived I had to transfer again. Il try to find my old passport and upload a picture of it. It may very well be an extension of stay based off the visa I had, not debating that.

Thanks for being diligent and calling me out almost 24 hours later 🫡

@Stuart ********

so have you ever actually transferred a visa to a new passport when your current passport expires? I’ve done it 3x

@Stuart ********

you are 100% incorrect. I’ve done this 3x when I got a new passport in BKK

You are correct if you mean the initial transfer of visa into the new passport, after that there are no issues and you don’t carry your old passport for the duration of your visa

@John ******

wouldn’t that only be an issue when the overstay takes place?

@John ******

why would it be a problem

@Wannikea ********

you do need an invitation letter, that’s the most important document. That should go with gym registration, sports accord accredited, receipt for your training etc. But that’s what I submitted and it was easier and faster than any tourist visa I’ve ever gotten.

Badminton isn’t soft power, not much to think about here. That’s it

You’d need to submit documents that the company was registered for tax Id, registered with sports authority etc
