webfact Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Myanmar man arrested with fake work visa stamp trying to re-enter Thailand Picture: Thai Rath A man from Myanmar admitted paying a Thai in Tak province in Thailand's north west 25,000 baht for a fake work visa stamp in his passport. He was arrested when immigration on the Laos border noticed the stamp ran out after the expiry date of the passport. Sai Thura Kyaw, 37, was trying to cross at Chiang Saen before coming back to Thailand to work. Officials noticed that the expiry date on his work visa was June 27th 2019 which was some five months after his passport was due to expire. Suspicious they contacted the Thai immigration in Tak for their stamp and saw that this one was a fake. The suspect then admitted paying a Thai person 25,000 baht for the bogus stamp.

Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted August 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2018 Gotta hand it to those sharp eggs at Immigration. Had not the idiot Thai forgery stamper put the visa expiry date 5 months after the expiry of the guy's passport, you'd have to wonder from the description in the article whether Immigration would have flagged this guy at all. No mention about them spotting what looked to be a fake/forged visa stamp. Rather, that the stamp had an expiry date well after the expiration of the guy's passport, which ANY Immigration staff would know they simply don't do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimster Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Chiang Saen immigration. That's the one for the casino on the Lao bank. Have got to wonder what a Burmese man who entered the country through Tak province, meaning Mae Sot was doing all the way in another part of the country? Gambling perhaps? There are casinos in Myanmar too, including 6 or 7 in Myawaddy, opposite Mae Sot. No need to go that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attrayant Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I have always wondered how they know if a stamp is fake. What if he had gotten the stamp at a real immigration office where they made the same clerical error with the expiration date. Would that make the stamp fake?
