Hey everyone! My old passport that is on the DTV e-visa is about to expire and I have to renew it. I will have both the old and the new passport. I know I need to carry both now when entering Thailand.

There was a guy who got denied boarding by Emirates because the visa is for his old passport. Does anyone have experience traveling with old and new passport where the visa is for your old passport?

Did you ever had issues boarding?

Thank you!

Sounds strange if Emirates denied entry.He would get visa on arrival anyway.

You asked this on a Facebook group too I believe. 

Works like this 

 

If you have a sticker Visa meaning you applied for the Visa before the consulate switch to evisa online pdf you need to get both passports. 

 

If you have a PDF eVisa, make a copy of the data page of the passport that the Visa was issued under and present that with the print out of the Visa and the new passport. 

 

No immigration office in the country will move a Visa sticker to another passport so if you have a sticker Visa you carry both passports

Thank you, Tod!

I have the e-visa. My main worry is the air carrier and how they are gonna react when I show them both passports and the visa for the old one.

It's a common thing to travel with both old and new passports. 

And valid visa, reentry permit, etc in old pp remain valid even when pp is cancelled. 

The airlines are aware of this. 

Just have your eVisa print out and old pp with you.

Why would he even need to show his old PP if he has a DTV e-visa ...

 

Edit: correction....E-Visa would indeed have your old PP number on it....so yeah...disregard ^^^
