[rav]

Hello All

I used up my 3 VOAs,So i got a cheap tiger airways flight to singapore and thought that id get a tourist visa issued at the embassy.They did issue me with one for 60 days but wrote in my passport the following.This person has had 3 VOAs and now has a 60 day tourist visa.We will not issue you another tourist visa.Why?? i checked at the immigration in phuket town and they told me that i could get tourists visas for ever! Does this mean that i cant get another tourist visa issued anywhere?will penang or KL refuse? Do i have to change my type of visa next time?? PLEASE HELP !!!!!! THANKS RAV

Immigration does not issue tourist visas so you go by what the Embassy/Consulate says and don't request another one there - at least for the time being. There is nothing preventing another Consulate from providing a tourist visa but they could refuse. If you have a valid, or semi-valid reason that does not involve illegal work you might want to make the Consulate aware of that when you apply.
