Popular Post webfact Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 Picture: Naew Na Thailand's deputy chief of immigration and staff appeared at the IB HQ in Suan Phlu yesterday at a press conference. Naew Na reported that two Chinese women had been stopped by immigration police at Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok after travelling on Emirates flight EK 385. Entry dates and the flight number didn't match on their Covid-19 documentation - the so-called Certificate of Entry. Further contact with a consular expert showed that the documentation purporting to come from the Shanghai Embassy in China was fake. The suspects were read their rights, charged and handed over to the airport police after being denied entry. In the media's usual rhetoric they said that all this was part of policies that come down from Thai PM Prayuth Chan-o-cha to keep Thailand safe. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-05 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mancub Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Well done. Fortunately they had enough time to be diligent. Different story "when" they come by the sandbox load. Wonder why the dates didn't match, airline sched change perhaps ? Had they matched who knows. Certainly had time to produce another of those super-sized flow chart presentations though ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was possibly a general public warning that if you wish to get into Thailand with fake documents you must make sure that our bribes are proportionate ???????? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nothing much going on in China at the moment so a couple of scammer overseas will hit the headlines for sure. if it does make it onto some website or other, it will simply alert would be scammers to make sure they get their dates right because Thai immigration officers have proved they can read.

A Los for words Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Thank goodness he has the big stick pointy thing. Otherwise I wouldn't know who the two women wearing racoon masks were. I think the cost of ASQ was added to their bill by the traffickers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lujanit Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 The reason they were caught is that prior to Immigration your documents are scrutinised by several people including one who looks up your COE on a laptop. A legitimate COE has a unique number on it and if that number is not in the database it is fake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I visited Laos my visa was on computer. Simple. I think the CoEs are… When I came back, the immigration officer before i got to the actual “counter” had a stapled set of papers and i could see that it listed CoEs by number and had the name of the passenger, passport, nationality and issuing embassy/consulate … She “checked off” my CoE before i was allowed to move to the actual counter for processing and stamping. So, Is guess that unless you were somehow able to manipulate the data within the Embassy, it would be hard as the fake CoE wouldn’t appear on that list - and would then trigger questioning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
