What should I do when changing my passport after being granted a DTV visa in Thailand?

Jeff *******

Exactly. A few years ago I had to have a 30 day visa exempt stamp transferred to my new passport. If the DTV is digital, I guess there s nothing to transfer. Odd that they require you to physically carry the old passport. When they swipe the new one all of the old info is there.

Can I enter Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for my DTV visa approval?

Jeff *******

While they are likely to deny the DTV if you are currently in Thailand, you can certainly have and enter with 2 visas. I never canceled my original visa and have entered Thailand 3 times on my new DTV. It always takes an extra couple of minutes at Immigration, but isn't a problem.

What was the experience of entering Bangkok immigration like for a British passport holder on a DTV?

Jeff *******

That's the endless, unanswerable question. And really has nothing to do with this thread. Fortunately, prior TM30'sare not required to enter the country.

90 day report is the traveler's responsibility. TM30 is the hotel/GH/landlord's responsibility.

Why was I issued a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa instead of a DTV despite a strong application?

Jeff *******

I can't explain why he only gets 6 month any more than I can explain why several people I know, me included, got 5 years for 2 medical appointments.

And with his METV, he has to leave twice in the middle or pay 1900 baht twice. So an METV for a 6 month course makes no sense.

Why am I being rejected for my 90-day reporting online in Thailand?

Jeff *******

it's never worked for me either. When ask at Immigration "Why", they just say "Easy to come here." Easy for them. They're there anyway!
