I have been denied entry because of accusation of marijuana possession. There is nothing in police records in Patang Phuket about an arrest or of any wrongdoing whatsoever. I have a friend police that is taking this information to immagray in Phuket.

I was able to enter and reenter long enough to get my daughter out of harms way. Now non blood relatives are caring for her adequately but I need this to go away.

I am waiting for news back from police and immigration but I need legal advice to insure this misinformation is corrected . What's more I was had a 1month visa extension at Phuket immigration but after a Penang non b visa run was turned away at Sadao. I need big help to clear my name. Thank you.

Get a lawyer then

Any suggestions?

"I had paid off the police and was exonerated from the charge but apparently I wasted thb 60k."

doesn't sound like they helped you much. How much did you get caught with?

Was anything stamped in your passport when you were refused entry?

Yes . cancelled entry and used stamp on my visa

It's in front of immigration now in Phuket.

I need legal advice to insure this misinformation is corrected .

Keep in liaison with the police & immigration and get advice from a lawyer .....

what more can you do ????

Yes I'm doing that and thanks

You posted this previously - you were deported on an arrest warrant. If this is the same matter having a record in Thailand has nothing to do with your not being allowed entry - but the fact you were deported - so expect you would need to prove that deportation was for an offence you have been cleared of - but even then if drug related not sure of outcome.

I was deported back to America for an old warrant I had. Even though I resolved the issue there since I was deported Thailand blacklists automatically. Therefore, until the 99 year law changes I'll be working on establishing myself in the region and do my daughter's paperwork with the embassies in KL and Bangkok.

Thank you all for your input. I'm sorry for getting emotional. But at least I found out where I stand. Cheers Mates, God speed to all. DH

I wasn't really deported. I went back on my own volition and cleared my name. It was a 2001 case I hadn't paid fines on.

Also on your profile page you have another post where you mention you payed 60k for your drug arrest here in Thailand. It really depends on whether that payment was to drop charges or if it was a get out of Jail card only

My post above is in accurate. Disregard

doesn't work like that with imigration and police

Did you have a drug offence that was committed in Thailand?

Sounds like you did a bad thing...

Bad things have consequences...

Drugs in Thailand, no matter if its for personal use or not or if you believe it should be ok.... really doesnt matter, because its a big thing in Thailand and most of the world knows not to do it....

You did and tried to buy your way out....

I dont agree with what you did, but as a dad, I understand the anguish of a child out of your reach.

PM me and I will give you the contact details of a lawyer that will help

Based on the information provided by other posters (apparently from a "profile page" and another source), it appears the OP isn't keeping his story straight and/or is not providing relevant details; regardless of that, TV isn't exactly the best place in the world to obtain qualified Thai legal advice.

And at least one other has noted, actions have consequences. Even my buddies who legally or illegally use marijuana back in the States aren't dumb enough to possess or use it here.

Consider the OP lucky he is not in prison and he was able to pay his way out. I take my word back if he was framed by the police.

Seems to a mere mortal like me you have been lucky, you are free today if you have parted with quite a lot of money obviously there is no smoke without fire

Do not even think about coming back, Cuba, Costa Rica, Colombia, Cambodia Vietnam to name but a few

If you have a few spare millions go to lawyers let them do the necessary and clear you, but then you will probably put yourself back in the hole

Wow...it never occurred to me that guys on here would actually go to a person's profile to check out his story....I'm truly astonished, really. I can't imagine why?... Myself, I just normally read a post and take it or leave it, comment if I feel I have something useful to contribute and leave it if I don't....can't imagine why I would want to be a detective with a story.

Regarding this one, it does sound strange that the OP on two previous occasions stated he was "deported" (not a word I would use lightly, especially if it was not the case) and states now he needs legal advice, presumably he was seeking same advice on here. If you want legal advice obviously a Lawyer is your best place to get it.

If you need accurate "legal advice" then you've come to the wrong place. Try a lawyer instead, although that's not necessarily a guarantee either.

Removed a post using a language other than English.

Don,

Go get a Lawyer. But your first sentence is misleading...."I have been denied entry because of accusation of marijuana possession." No accusation as you were caught and charged with possession. You haven't been entirely honest here and I notice you have switched your profile off.

Probably because they want to help?

If you don't want to help, no need to comment or even read the thread. For those of us that do, there's nothing difficult about clicking a mouse a few times to check out more details about something. Especially in this case where the facts are very confusing and the story keeps changing.

So instead of doing the proper thing, which would be to hire a lawyer, you come on ThaiVisa for advice from people with no Thai legal experience and expect to get helpful advice. What a joke.

In addition he is not honest enough to furnish us with all the relevant facts and history so how on earth can he expect to receive accurate helpful advice.

If he goes to a Lawyer and also does that even a Lawyer will not be able to help him.

Strikes me the Op is a real buffoon.

Consider your next vacation to Washington State or Colorado in the US. All the pot you want to smoke, no problems with immigration or the cops. Leave your unfinished bag in your rental car. Good tip for the car cleaners. In Thailand, stay away from illegal drugs.

For the pot smoker well you got cut so now pay for the play. Pay the fine or do the time. Drug is no good for all of us.

If you can't get a lawyer to help clear things, I would get your daughter and take her home with you.
