webfact Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Cameroonian woman arrested at Suvarnabhumi with fake visa Picture: Thairath BANGKOK:-- Immigration police on Monday arrested a woman from Cameroon who was found to be in possession of a fake visa. Police arrested Mirabel Disue Misori, 26, as she tried to pass through immigration at Suvarnabhumi airport. Upon checking her passport, immigration officers had suspicions regarding the legitimacy of her visa, reported Thairath. The visa was then confirmed to be counterfeit after it was checked using a visa detection machine. Miss Mirabel, who had travelled to Thailand from Nairobi, Kenya, admitted that she had paid $800 to a man in Cameroon for the fake tourist visa. She said she had travelled to Thailand to try and find employment, Pol Col Paritthipong Prayoonsiri, from Suvarnabhumi immigration confirmed. Officials later found the visa was issued at the Thai Embassy in Cameroon. Pol Col Paritthipong added that visitors from South Asia and Africa are on an immigration watch list with officials ordered to check for counterfeit visas and travel documents. There was no information on what, if any action will taken against the Thai Embassy in Cameroon.

NongKhaiKid Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It's unfair only the officers are in the mandatory photo op as the real star is the visa detection machine so why doesn't it get face and be included in the line up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maoro2013 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 You would think if the Thai embassy issued the visa, albeit fake, it would be non fake. I hope they nail the corrupt official/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The visa was then confirmed to be counterfeit after it was checked using a visa detection machine. - What is a visa detection machine? Does it have flashing lights and make beeping sounds? Officials later found the visa was issued at the Thai Embassy in Cameroon. - If the visa was issued at the Thai embassy, then how can it be fake?

Well, that's that then !!! $800 for the fake tourist visa. At that fee, they would probably be loath to "stamp" it out (providing they get their cut).

KIWIBATCH Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The Visa was issued by the Thai Embassy in Cameroon and then checked in the "machine" at S/Bhumi on her arrival and found to be fake. I would suggest that there is no reason for this woman to be deemed as "guilty" she should be given a tourist visa and an apology and sent on her way. Immigration Thailand then need to get off their backsides and get on the phone to the Thai Embassy in Cameroon and ask what the hell is going on!!!

I think you are supposed to apply in person at Embassies to obtain a visa, in this case it would appear she did not. Giving a man $800 dollars to obtain it on her behalf should have raised a massive red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to pay a bribe to an "agent" to obtain a Brit visa which would otherwise be denied. I know people who've done it for their girlfriends.

AlQaholic Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) This is utterly confusing, unless there is a standing policy (which is racism) to not allow Cameroonians into Thailand, why would she not be allowed to get a visa legitimately? Just apply at the Embassy? If she can pay $800 for a fake one, that $800 would surely be enough to support her tourist visit to Thailand, and therefore obtain a legit visa? And anyway, why not just pay $800 for a fake British passport and just get a Visa exempt entry? Edited December 6, 2016 by AlQaholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fake detection machine to detect fake visa stamps is humming AWAY IN THE BOWELS of a secret location only known to a few million Thai's.
