Hello, how it's possible that a Thai visa, issued in TAIPEI in Chinese passport is stamped by a the Royal Thai Embassy of Manila ? ( it's write Manila in English and also in Thai on the blue big stamp )

 

 

 

 

 

No idea but the visa was used 4 years ago.

The office in Taipei is neither an Embassy or Consulate. It's a Trade and Economic Office that can issue visas. It could be that the Emabassy in Manilla controls this office.

It probably has to do with the "one China" policy and is done in only for applicants holding a PRC passport.

I think if you combine the last two responses, you more or less have your answer. Because of the "one China" policy, Thailand does not have an embassy or consulate in Taiwan, just a trade office. According to the standard visa info on all Thai foreign mission websites, "a foreign citizen who wishes to enter the Kingdom of Thailand is required to obtain a visa from a Royal Thai Embassy or a Royal Thai Consulate-General."

 

Since the office in Taiwan is neither an embassy nor a consulate, it is not eligible to issue visas in its own right, so it apparently uses the authority of the Thai embassy in Manila to do so.

Thailand is not the only country issuing visas in Taipei with a stamp indicating a nearby capital where there is an Embassy or Consulate

That is correct.

 

My visa is stamped as issued by Mildendo.

 

Although I actually got it in Lorbrulgrud.
