Weho Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 About six months ago, I went to the consulate in Singapore, they would only issue me one 60 day tourist visa (extendable by an additional 30 days in Thailand), and the official scoulded me saying I had too many Thailand tourists stamps in my passport, and that Singapore would NOT issue another tourist visa to me, and a note was written in my passport indicating this. In the meantime, my U.S. passport expired, and I got a new "clean" one, issued in the U.S., with no stamps in it. Do you think I could now go back to Singapore and get a new 60 day tourist visa, or do they keep computer records, by name, of what they wrote in passports?

Weho Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 hard to believe actually. did u do anything naughty that might have been stamped in ur passport? No, I did nothing naughty at all, other than have over a year and a half in and out of Thailand. The gal in Singapore said something like "you've been living continuously in Thailand"... but I had left a few times for a month at a time. I did have one little naughty overstay, of only ONE day, which I paid, I think 500 baht fine. She said something like "you can go to another consulate somewhere, but Singapore won't issue you a multiple entry 60 day visa. My passport was about 8 years old, and had lots and lots of stamps in it, lots of extra pages added... but nothing else bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 In your first post you said they would not issue another tourist visa. Now you say they would not issue a multi entry. Big difference. Many Consulates will not issue multi entry tourist visas these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudroz Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have this mention in my passport too from the Singapore Embassy, my passport is not handy but it says something like "will only issue TV from Sg RTE this time only". "Sg RTE" being the Singapore Royal Thai Embassy I suppose and "TV" for Tourist Visa. I was there with 3 family members, both my mom and step dad got no mention, only me and my step brother got this note handwritten in our passports.

onebir Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Wow, a whole family living as eternal tourist. Where do you guys live on? There must be at least one of you working here withoutpermission ... Why - they could just be a rich family... Weho - in the (apparently unlikely) event you can't get a visa in Singapore, KL sounds like it's ok. And Penang. The super cautious could build in opportunities to try both by taking the train back up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself, I am married and I am now on a non-imm as well. What happened with the Singapore Thai Embassy was last year, when that happened we were in Thailand for about 4-5 months. And none of us are working whatsoever in Thailand. Thanks four your ASSumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Something I would be thinking about is if they go to technology like retinal scans and your scan dupes one already in the database and then, "Please step this way, sah..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Embassies and Consulates (Staff attitude) generally reflect the characteristics of the Host Country. Singapore = Stern and Business-like Penang, KL = Relaxed and friendly Myanmar = Suspicious I will leave the rest for you to piece together, you will see what I mean. Its natural for the staff of an embassy to follow the lifestyle of the Host country, in deed, actions and thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
