RandyWhite Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 As one of the 'usual suspects' in Penang, I went to KL this time with a new passport, no visa extension and no application (visa on arrival) and got 60 days. Sweet! RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiphoon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Good to hear. Would be interested to know if you obtained your new passport in Thailand or home country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyWhite Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 In Thailand - this time and last time. RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiphoon Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks. That is interesting as the embassy has not picked up on your previous visas. I assume details of your old passport are noted in your new passport, which seems to be the usual practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyWhite Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Actually, no - there are no stamps, so any information of that nature would be on the inbedded chip that the passport contains, and basically accessible only to bureaucrats: I have no idea how much the Thais can access, but the Thai who accepted my visa application in KL seemed to be unsure what to do when he could only find an exit stamp from Thailand. After he had a quick glance to see who was around, he seemed to decide to take the path of least resistance and leave it for immigration at Suwannaphoom to deal with. Bottom Line: 'Clear as mud' RAW.

thaiphoon Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You should of had your permission to stay stamp transferred to your new passport before you left the country (and at the time of transfer immigration would have make a note of old passport details in the new passport) and hence my previous question. Seems that you have somehow managed to leave Thailand without that being done, which was why the consular official was confused when you showed them your new passport showing only exit stamp - they were expecting to see both stamps.

Dirk_brijs Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 were any documents required like return ticket out of Thailand and or prove of financial means?? Saw some reports here where they asked for those? If so would a bank book from Thai account work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so would a bank book from Thai account work? Just the usual form, xeroxed passport pages and a couple of photos. RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chen168 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I just picked up my tourist visa here in KL. They only required one passport photo. No copy of passport. But there was a sign up (dated Sept 09) warning about possibly getting refused a visa if you have many tourist visas in your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
