Timmy700 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Hi everyone! I have a question I thought I would ask here before trying to talk to anyone at immigration. I have dual citizenship and passports and was wondering if I can get immigration to transfer my visa from one to the other as I just got the one renewed and the other is due to expire? Thanks for any responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan O Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 No the visa\permission of stay stamp is country specific within their systems so you can update\transfer to a new PP from the original one stamped but thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJAS Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Assuming that by "visa" you actually mean a non-immigrant annual extension of stay for retirement, marriage, etc, one possibility that you might wish to consider (if reasonably practicable in your case) would be to do a border run, exiting on your expiring Nationality #1 passport and re-entering visa-exempt for 30 days on your new Nationality #2 passport. Then apply for a 90-day non-O conversion with the Nationality #2 passport at your local immigration office as set out in the following link: https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=2537 Then within 30 days of the revised permission to stay granted under the non-O conversion process expiring, resume seeking annual extensions of stay, this time with your Nationality #2 passport.

grain Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Absolutely no. I've been through all this myself. Thailand doesn't recognize dual citizenship, you're either one or the other but can't be both at the same time. Switching PPs is not that easy. You can't do it via a land border but can do it via an airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but that has nothing to do with changing passports does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
