Do I need to print my TM30 document for immigration in Thailand, or can I show it on my phone?

Brook ********

Immigration typically wants printed copies of everything.

It’s a well kept secret in Thailand that the electric power plants are fueled by paper copies of foreigners’ documents.

I don’t think you went to a AIS company store. Maybe you went to an authorized agent or didn’t understand them.

Hundreds of people do this successfully every day.

Try again or hire an agent.

Why does Thai Immigration require all previous visa stamps to be transferred to a new passport?

Brook ********

I estimate the book will be full in 2-3 years.

I’m learning to optimize space by things like using Laos eVisas, instead of Visa on arrival, and other strategies.

The whole point of a new passport is empty pages. It negates the purpose when Thailand moves the stamps into the new passport, and then add stamps attesting to the true copy.
