In the past when i walked into my immigration office the first thing i saw was the huge amount of files being

branded as blacklisted.

First time i really was impressed but at the same time curious,really if at least half of the 50 or so draws are labelled.."blacklisted" who wants to come and ask for a visa here i thought.

Sometimes it takes a bit of mind crawling to "understand" these eye catchers.

Its a clear way to prevent people to ask too many questions....warns you against aggression......or have a bad attitude......(like i have sometimes)...and then promptly need to sign 3 (same) declarations of "good conduct"

any way the real question is??????

does anybody has any knowledge HOW you can be blacklisted????

and for how long????.........and how to "get rid of it"????

does anyone has any data of how many people are in fact blacklisted??

Just out of curiousity how do you know these files are 'files being branded as blacklisted'.

Does it say 'blacklisted' in Thai on the cover, or do you see them using a bid stamp with 'blacklisted' on it?

That are reeasons to be denied entry, that doesn't mean one is blacklisted and "never" allowed to enter again. Being convicted can be a reason to be blacklisted, but a person that for instance doesn't have a valid paspsort can enter once he does has a valid passport.
