First trip to Thailand. My twin brother is blacklisted. Should I worry?

[OJAS]

@jeremy77- I have unearthed the following recent thread which might be worth a read. It was originated by someone who has been inconvenienced each time he enters Thailand on account of his last name and date of birth matching that of a complete stranger who has received an Immigration ban like your twin brother. However he has never actually been prevented from entering Thailand.

 

I definitely think, though, that the suggestion of changing his surname which was made in that thread would be tantamount to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut in your case!

Nothing will happen, as Ks says above. When you go through Immigration they will scan your passport and you will go straight through. 

 

 

Aren't biometric passports a thing of beauty.....

You need not worry at all.

Unless you are posing as your twin brother, of course!

I guess all their records are stored on ring binders in a very large room.

Someone should form a committee to discuss a possible move to the 20th century as a starting point.

Embassies/Consulates don't care. Visa fees pay salaries.

In the fine print somewhere there be a section stating that you state by filling the application you conform to the requirements for visa issue.

A visa doesn't mean automatic entry, that's down to Immigration at port of entry.

Edit.

Not to the OP, just an open question.

 

I wonder how many people in the future will be on TV saying they were refused entry on their new

( first)  passport because their twin brother was blacklisted?
