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.

Thank you for having added the additional information that you are not renewing the passport in Thailand.

The procedure with the Transfer Stamp to New Passport Form https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CEJpSs5wEwrKM-kEOIkNV6kfKiuWu3nO/view?usp=drive_link which I suggested to the OP, shdmn, ins not about transferring a visa from the old to the new passport. It is about linking the new passport with the old passport, and for this purpose immigration puts a stamp into the new passport. Depending on the situation, some stamps relating to the current permission to stay are copied to the new passport.

It is still a work in progress. Give the poor web designer some time to get a grip on it. He is trying to reinvent the wheel instead of using a country list already available on one of immigration's datebases. Perhaps just as well, because there are probably several non-identical lists on the databases and any or all might get deleted by someone without advance notice. I must say that he is quite knowledgeable about country names, because all drop-down lists I have seen so far use "Switzerland" for my country but he uses the formal name "The Swiss Confederation". Regarding your mention of Scotland, perhaps he is grappling with "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". What three-letter country was listed next to Scotland?

It is a work in progress and the part that is already accessible seems shoddily designed. The shoddiest part is the fact that the website is already publicly accessible while it is still being designed.

Here's a link to a post I made on a research I did on this subject in 2014: https://aseannow.com/topic/719631-passport-check-on-the-road/page/5/#findComment-7711071 Those research results results are probably still valid today.

It would be helpful if you posted a link to the relevant law.

It seems that with "Svb" in your topic title you mean BKK (Suvarnabhumi International airport) https://www.iata.org/en/publications/directories/code-search/ The situation you describe does not require the service of a "safe entry" service from the likes of the one you are advertising with the link you posted.

Does the Thai embassy in New Zealand really take Baht for the payment of a visa fee?

Thank you for mentioning this addition to the form TM.7. For anyone interested, this is currently the link to the form on the website of the Immigration Bureau: https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/4.คำขออนุญาตเพื่ออยู่ในราชอาณาจักรเป็นการชั่วคราวต่อไป-ตม.7.pdf

@Shwaman At what immigration office is your friend making his application? Ideally, he should post himself on this forum so that he may directly respond to questions for clarification. Can you suggest that to him?

You go to your local immigration office with this application form: https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/22.Transfer-Stamp-to-New-Passport-Form.pdf Regarding the list or required documents, some immigration offices may also ask for the receipt for your latest TM.30.

I've learnt something new. The reduction of Thai Thai employees below the required minimum number does, in fact, have a direct effect on the permission to stay if the immigration office chooses to do an inspection. Thank you, @MadMuhammad and @timendres for your posts.

@Jaythekol With "we", whom do you mean in addition to yourself? What is the basis of your current permission to stay?
