I suggest that rather than rehashing what has already been posted in other topics on this subject, we should continue the discussion based on the new update with full information about the TDAC scheme posted here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1356064-thailand-digital-arrival-card-tdac-system-is-online-but-not-announced-as-starting-yet/page/8/#findComment-19709723

When I tried it a few days ago, the approval email arrived almost instantly.

Change from what to PR?

The latest update is here and eliminates a of the confusion. Please continue the TDAC discussion using the above link.

They've probably been reading our topics on this.

Have a nice flight. Changing planes somewhere along the way in the UAE, I guess, but with the boarding pass for the second flight already in your pocket.

Thank you. So that's a change that immigration has made since 1982 (apparently the same as the MFA made for visas)

You can select the date of arrival to be on the day you log into the TDAC site or on any of the subsequent three days: https://driv e.google.com/file/d/1FxDSNRoPmsE1iGiqveT0aMhHgQD3dVy-/view?usp=drive_link For example, with the current version of the website, if your planned entry date is 5 April 2025, the earliest you could enter the data for your TDAC was 00:01 hours on 02 April.

PR holders do not get a re-entry permit; they get a non-quota immigrant visa valid for a specified number of return journeys to Thailand. The latest one I have on file is from 1982, and the text and seal may have changed since then but it will still have the heading "non-quota immigrant visa" https://drive.google.com/file/d/14l-2HIVYIkTG4h2EcPii6SxGgKGEXdrR/view?usp=drive_link

The ETA plan has been abandoned. The TDAC takes its place .

You put in the name ot the country that issued the passport with which you are travelling.

I looked at the online form again just now, and no information about visa or visa exemption is asked in the current version. None of the fields in the section for departure information are marked as required information.

Obviously, Thailand is not included in the drop-down list of countries for the insertion of the country of residence in the current version of the DTAC because the website developer has not been made aware of the fact that some foreigners are residents of Thailand and, after travelling abroad, reenter the country with an immigrant visa https://drive.google.com/file/d/14l-2HIVYIkTG4h2EcPii6SxGgKGEXdrR/view?usp=drive_link and a Certificate of Residence https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kveGl7qsCK2piUC1wKkKzC19OjYkqqsR/view?usp=drive_link

No, and because of your baiting opening post, I am closing this topic.

Removed an incomprehensible post and the reply to it.

That's another example of sloppiness. Are the islands of Man, Guernsey and Jersey, which are not part of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", listed separately?

As OJAS mentioned in a subsequent post, two different country lists are used. If I remember correctly, one list is uses for country of residence, the other for country of departure airport. Also for nationality, a drop-down list opens. I didn't go back and check for Scotland or GBR, but I remember that for Switzerland, one list had the country code, ie CHE, the other list did not have it. Anyway, that website is still very much "work in process", it seems, and the final version may be different. I'll look at it again when it will officially be in operation.

It can get tough for a condo-owning tourist in Thailand. This gentleman has my sympathy. I wish I didn't have to learn about his experience from a Youtube video clip but that he would have posted here himself so that we might ask him for additional details. Just the same, his report will undoubtedly be of interest to people in the same or a similar situation.

Yes, I know your question is about how to continue using your DTV visa after getting a new passport. In your situation, you will enter Thailand with your old passport which has the passport number that is shown on your visa, the printout of the eVisa, and your new passport. You will get the arrival stamp, which shows the duration of your permission to stay, in your new passport. Thereafter, as you are averse to using the procedure with the "Transfer Stamp to New Passport Form", which would link your new passport to the old one, your only option is to continue entering Thailand with both passports and the eVisa printout.
