Lost Your Passport in Thailand? Here’s How to Handle It



 Losing your passport while traveling can be stressful, but don’t worry. Here’s a quick guide on what to do if it happens in Thailand.

Step 1: Gather These Documents

First, make sure you have these items ready:

  1. Application Form – Get this from the Immigration Office.
  2. New Passport and a Copy – Visit your embassy to get a new one, and make a copy of the main page.
  3. Police Report – Report your lost passport at the local police station and get a report.
  4. Certificate from Your Embassy – Your embassy will give you a certificate with your new passport details.

Step 2: Visit Immigration

  1. If You’re in Bangkok:
    • Head to the Lost Passport Section at the Immigration Office.
    • Fill out a form with your details, like your name, passport number, and when you arrived in Thailand.
    • Check the info on your new passport. Give the police report to the officer, who will verify your entry to Thailand. If everything checks out, your visa will be moved to your new passport.
  2. If You’re Not in Bangkok:
    • Go to your local Immigration Office. They’ll handle your request and update their records with the main office in Bangkok.

Step 3: For Visa Extensions or Residence Applications

If you’re waiting on a visa extension or residence approval, go to the right section at Immigration Division 1. They’ll help you transfer your visa to the new passport and keep your application on track.
