ubonjoe Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 It will not be a problem. There are many visitors to here from Israel so a stamp for entering there will certainly not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) No problem. Direct (nonstop) flights between Thailand and Israel (El Al) and many Thai people work legally in the Israel farming sector.

SteveK Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Only problem would be if you need to visit Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Only problem would be if you need to visit Malaysia.Is that really a problem there with a stamp? They do ban Israelis but not aware of problems with stamps in non Israeli passports. As far as Thailand of course it is no problem.

SteveK Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 My ex was Malaysian. I spent a bit of time there and AFAIK they don't let you in with a stamp from Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Well I quickly looked into this and its unclear whether the stamp would cause a ban or just the hassle of questioning.In any case there is a prevention. You may ask Israel to stamp you in on a separate paper if planning on travel to Malaysia or some other Middle Eastern nations.Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Well, if you don't go to Malaysia you won't be missing out on much anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Not sure if it's still done but at one time they would staple an entry stamp in your passport on a liitle form that you could easily remove when you left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so but I also think you may need to explicitly ask for that. There is a similar situation in Cuba for Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Yes it used to be the situation many years ago and was quite common for travelers to ask for a loose leaf visa. Today I couldnt say for sure but imagine highly likely still so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
