What Does It Mean To Have A Red Stamp On Visa?

[mdotinc]

Hi,

I have a red stamp on my visa, what does that mean? Does it have any significance? I heard that if you are overstayed two times in a row you get a red stamp, and the third time you overstay you get a black stamp and then they dont let you back in the country??? Is that true?

Thanks

Where did this red stamp come from and what does it say?

Immigration can use RED ink for a variety of reasons and not necessarily bad, you need to give more information to get better help and guidance. Ideally upload a picture of it.

Its just a red round stamp with a picture in the middle and it says under neath "Thai Consulate General - Penang" in the bottom of the circle.

Its stamped just to the right on my B visa.

That I suspect is the consul stamp validating the visa. If so it should look like this. (bottom left of visa). The stamp should partially cover the visa. Nothing to worry about.
