Hi there,

I got a multi non-imm B today and am quite surprised that it only consists of a red stamp. The ones I got before (tourist visas though) were always kind of stickers with different colours and holograms. I know it's a very stupid question but I am kind of worried: is it a real one?

Thanks in advance for reassuring me!

My O visa is also a red stamp. Enjoy.

Yep - mines just a red stamp as well.

Now I can fully enjoy it, thank you!

I gotta crimson one!

Yeah I'm gonna crimson it too!

as long as it does not say "cancelled" or "denied" it is fine

My own experience is that whenever I have had a visa issued by a Thai embassy or an actual Thai consulate, the visa has been in the form of a sticker. Whenever I have had a visa issued by an honorary Thai consulate, it has been in the form of a rubber-stamped passport entry.

strange as my understanding is that it is easier to control visa issuing if the visa itself is a sticker! With one sticker, you can make one visa. With a rubber-stamp, you can make many visas.

I would expect Thai authorities to try and control honorary consulates more than regular embassies and consulates...

Mine is a BLUE rubber stamp.

With a big red USED stamp over it.

From Suan Plu in May.

When I was getting tourist visa's from the embassy office in Chicago (not an honorary consulate) and from Denver (an honorary consulate) it was always a sticker that covered a full page.

This is the first time I saw the visa – well, part of it – obtainable from an immigration office when applying for a change of visa posted on ThaiVisa.

I have seen members refer to this visa as a non-O visa but I believe it is a generic non-immigrant visa without indication of the visa classification, ie no indication of O, B, etc. Can you confirm this? If the visa stamp contains no confidential information, will you post the whole visa for our information, please?

For comparison purposes, below is an example of a non-O visa I received from the Thai consulate in Zurich, Switzerland. Other consulates may use stamps with a slightly different text.
