Sujo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I have gone thru 2 passports in 5 years and never knew of this rule. Some places stamp anywhere in the passport which makes it hard to find sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit a commercial site, this seems to confirm the 30 day passport validity requirement for Saudis. https://www.ivisa.com/thailand-blog/thailand-visa-for-saudis-visa-on-arrival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what the airlines have told me at check in. sadly he did not use the same airlines as you but good on the ones who pointed out the criteria for entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinsdale Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I was at immagration once and this Chinese bloke had no room in his passport. The Imm. people tried their best. I was watching. Going through the pages showing this person that the stamp just wouldn't fit. He was incredulous. Got sick of listening to his Chinese righteousness and went out for a cig. There was his BMW parked where it shouldn't be blocking someone from getting out. What a complete ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They not stamp on a piece of paper and the guy should do some homework. Do you think Saudi Arabia would let you in when passport is full ?. Most likely he got denied entry and send back. When officers are not 100% idiots they find a 4cm space in any full passport! Of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timatic is the system most airlines use to check (ran by IATA) and there are a few places that the public can access it.

Drives a Beemer, too stingy to buy new passport, his type also seem to have a hard time paying ten baht for parking, or walk more than eight steps to their final destination. and will inconvenience an ambulance if it means they might miss out on whatever they fear they're missing out on.

Nowisee Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 although I had at least 5 spaces for my entry stamp, I opted for getting a new passport while I was back home. My logic was if anyone could makes this an issue, it would be thai immigration. better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Stamps, such a lovely memory. Haven't gotten one outside Thailand since I went to Maldives, mostly electronic now in 1st world. Too bad though, used to be nice to have all sorts of stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galactus Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 i dont think so there are no space in the passport. i guess some pages are half used or just a stamp in one page. so they can very well put a stamp if they wanted. but man, why not getting a new passport if it current one is like full??
