Furious - Refused entry at Suvarnabhumi airport

[ovenman]

I have a passport full of visa exempt/on arrival stamps and now working offshore only 2 weeks on/ out of Thailand and 24 days stay,,,,,,fly in next Thursday ,I do not want to get in to trouble at the airport (SV) should I cancel and fly elswhere ?

I wouldn't cancel and fly elsewhere, but I would have a backup plan in mind should you get refused entry.

This has shit me up. I fly back to work offshore in Kazakstan on Sunday for 28 days. My passport is full of Thai stamps. Not visas. I just come in for the 28 days with the stamp,in the passport. But I do have 4 or 5 Cambodian visas when I did the visa run when I had to stay a few weeks extra. I do have a 6 year old daughter with my Thai Mrs (not married but live together) we have just got my mrs her UK tourist visa and my daughter has both Thai And UK,passport.

I don't own a thing in Thailand. Her name is on the house lease.

Get a new passport.

I'm getting a second one. I think my next 28 off will be at home in Scotland

Now. Where can I get my daughter birth cert translated officially in Pattaya before Saturday?

Ask in the Pattaya forum.

I feel for you all in this situation. Thailand continues to shoot itself in the foot. Most countries would love all that oil and gas cash. Bonkers!

[ClutchClark]

What am I supposed to do? Fly somewhere else?

Obviously, yes, that;s what you'll have to do.

Your inane question makes me wonder if your situation is reality.

Did they just deny you for a visa on Arrival, or are you denied any other type of visa as well

Can you read? He/she said they have 24hrs at the airport for transit.

Sounds like somebody is in a bad mood today.

Did you miss nappy time today?

Please. This is not the thread for banter. This is bloody serious for many.

You should be responding to RandomSand.

I am fully aware of what this means to many farang...myself included, so kindly bugger off.

Get a plan B ready

[tompix321]

Well, technically if one owns a condo and owns a car in Thailand, it is getting a bit harder to call the man a Tourist. It can easily be interpreted that he is clearly working off shore and then coming back and living in Thailand.

Why is that? Is a car not possible to use for touring/tourism? And since when do you need to be non-living (undead?) to also be a tourist?

I have a Australian mate who lives in Bang Tao in one of the flash serviced apartments there. He is currently out of Thailand on rotation.

He has an Aussie wife here who stays at their apartment who is pregnant and late in the term.

God knows what is going to happen if he cant get back in.

I'll go to Glasgow to the mums house. I am getting a brand new second passport anyway (I know they can still see I came and went a lot this last 8 years)y visa

But I want to take my daughter docs with me in Thai and English and get a Typo O visa for being her parent in the Glasgow Thai consulqte. I live in Rayong city. Can someone tell me where I can get all,the docs offically translated in Pattaya please, like tomorrow or Friday.

My plan would to be got to work 28 days, have my 28 off in Scotland, and get my visa for being my daughter day (type O right?) go back to work for 28 days thn come back to Thailand on the visa and get married

Does my plan sound doable

i suggest to who started this thread and everyone in his/her condition to contact the embassy

this is clearly an abuse

Yes, an abuse of the visa system.

Lads this is no time for piss taking. This is people's lives being ripped apart

Absolutely agree. Get a Plan B together.

Regarding the advice to get a clean passport, this is not a magic bullet. Old passports and new have numbers, they are linked and previous dates and stamps can be seen at a glance.

Last few years Thailand along with many other nations have had an upgrade in Airport security and passport data. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book to cancel or lose a passport and have a new reissued thinking a clean one will guarantee a clean sheet.

This is a fallacy now with security computer systems and shared databases.

a clean passport May help and it may not. One thing is for sure, there will probably be a lot trying it and once one is noticed then itll become normal to cross check. You have to ask yourself having done nothing wrong in the past if losing and getting a new passport constitutes doing something wrong. Effectively claiming a new passport by pretending to lose a previous one when its not true is questionable in both ethics and the action.

Be careful frank before you do what posters here suggest. Please think about what you do and if its really worth doing in the current climate, Thailand is not a place to get into trouble for anything.

[BKKSnowBird]

Are you sure immigration can see your history if using a 2nd or a new passport?? That says they search by your name.

My experience is they just go through the passport studying the stamps like a detective? Seems looking at a computer screen would be easier?

Mate I need two passports for work. I will still,have my current one that I will use for my Kazakhstan work permit. And the new one for Thailand. Even before this started that was the plane

[4evermaat]

Please. This is not the thread for banter. This is bloody serious for many.

It is an unfortunate turn of events for the OP. To avoid complications in the future, consider getting a visa ahead of time, even a tourist visa. Do not rely on the visa exempt program alone, especially if you have previous multiple VE stamps in your passport.

OP should be going to Malaysia (Penang) and get a single entry tourist visa or other category if needed. But I suppose PP Cambodia is a good option also.

I have 2 passports and as I have told numerous times here on TV : On my last trip in march I was delayed nearly 5 minutes while the Immigration official was flicking through my passport and her computer and she stated that I had 6 trips in Thailand the last year....................I had 5 trips on my main passport and 1 was on an secondary passport.

Don`t believe the bar-talk about loosing your passport or reneving it.This is 2014 and with all the bollocking Thailand has been getting lately regarding it being a safe heaven for terrorists,money launderers etc. their immigration systems are being revamped.

[Franky Bear]

Lads the biometric passports have been here for years. You can't hide a thing. And do you not think Swampy will be taking extra care with new passports now checking the data from the chip

I have to admit I'm shitting bricks

Please someone. Where can I get my daughters documents translated in Pattaya tomorrow

Indeed. To reiterate, passports are tracked by name and birth date. One could have an infinite number of passports; immigrations should have a record of all entries for them under the single name and birth date.

As mentioned many, many times. There is no need to lie to get a new passport. It's called voluntary replacement. For some country, e.g UK is normal and legal to have two passports. Just as some here wrote.

However, off topic.

Could be done outside thailand in any embassy. Might be a more convenient route for you

I'm looking for some advice here I'm working in Malaysia with a work permit I also have two triple entry tourist visas in my passport I do six weeks away from Thailand I'm using my last entry on the 15th August just after people have been saying they are stopping people with tourist visas from the 12th

I can't believe this is happening for people who like to spend their time off in Thailand relaxing

be prepared with outgoing ticket. hotel reservation and trip plan.

Also, remember this is one person rejected. Does not imply everyone is. one is hundred? one in fifty? one in two hundred? Probably has a luck element too.
