I have been working in Thailand and have a non immigrant B multiple visa and a work permit. Like a lot of us I had been send this to an agent to take care of following the advice of the Thai’s I work for. I now know that this can not be done and I have to do visa runs myself.  My non Immigrant visa was issued at the royal Thai consulate CARDIEF can anyone tell me if there is such a place and where it is as all the searches I have done for it have turned nothing up and I am thinking this could be a fake stamp.

try CARDIFF.

its in wales.

wales is the hilly lumpy bit in the western u.k.

i'm pretty sure there is a thai consulate there.

if nothing else.

I know there is one in cardiff in whales but the one in my passports is spelt cardief

hopefully its just smudged ink.

There is indeed one in Cardiff...boyo

and hopefully there will be a welcome etc....etc..

others for your notebook..

Look at the visa under a powerful jewellers glass. Hopefully it is a smudge. Have you fronted the agent ? You could fax the Consulate and ask if the visa number is valid for the date of issue.

Relax Scubakev the visa is probably legit.  As I presume its an old fashion stamp style visa you have circ. 1998 and the actual spelling used was/or still is CARDIEF. Not a smudge!

They say one learns something every day. I certainly never heard of any other spelling for Cardiff.

My visa was issued from Cardiff and they put the same date for the issue and expiry dates ... I think they might just be error prone - now I have an interesting explanation to make everytime I come back into Thailand.

well dai  bach,   there awas  no   whales   in  cardief   bay,

 yesterday  afternoon  ,  on   my   walk  about  there .

     but  cardiff is  the  capital  city  of  wales .

 i can  call  at  the thai  consulate at  cardiff , if  any  one

 wants  the spelling  confirmed . etc

    there will be  singing  in  the  valleys soon,

   when  i book  my next flight  to   l o s ----s

Dr.PP I am not saying Cardiff is spelt CARDIEF. I am saying the non imm. stamps that the Thai Consulate in Wales use, have that spelling - so they are (presumably) not fake!

...now I wonder if this post will get deleted too  

Why would you think that Base ?  Nothing wrong with your post at all. Factual, responsible, and unburdened with ranting  and raving. You are safe.          :cool:
