Singerman Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Quite acceptable ! On return keep the UK passport out of sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 No problem, as I understand it, if he flies out and back. At land borders, they usually want to see the exit stamp from the country you just left in the same passport being used for entry. I suspect this may not be true in all cases if you have both passports to show. In particular, I cannot see how they could deny entry to a Thai citizen on a Thai passport, but you never know.

elviajero Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 No problem by air. IO's at land borders may try to apply alien immigration policy but his son has the right as a citizen to enter Thailand and they cannot legally deny him entry with a Thai passport.

mngmn Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Have a Thai friend (citizen) denied entry at Swampy on Thai passport and forced to enter on Australian passport. Later even touched up for 20k overstay. Keep uk passport well out of sight or even better let someone else carry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkvictor Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Could he go through the automatic machine at the airport instead of seeing a immigration officer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person just has to stand their ground to keep it from happening. They should insist on it be being done formally by doing a denial of entry stamp which would never happen.
