Can someone with multiple citizenships use different passports to bypass immigration rules in Thailand?
Has anyone with multiple citizenships tried to use different passports for exemption? Or they have a way of tracking it?
Answer summary
Using different passports for visa exemption in Thailand if you have multiple citizenships is not a viable option due to biometric tracking systems. Comments highlight that immigration authorities maintain records of entry and exit linked with biometric data, making it difficult to hide any discrepancies. Most users advise against attempting to exploit different passports, as this could lead to increased scrutiny and potential issues at immigration.

You're just going to get them to look at your harder if you try this. They are going to ask you why you are changing passports and what you're trying to hide.

All entries are linked via biometrics these days. Immigration will know your entry history regardless of the passport you use.
