Thai Immigration Visa Rules Multiple Passports Visa Exemption Entry History Immigration Records

Jul 29, 2023

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello. 

General question - I'm a holder of two passports. Have the Thai Immigration officers access to history records of how many times I entered Thailand as a person? I mean one time I will enter/leave Thailand with one passport, next time I will enter/leave Thailand with another passport. 

Are there any records for me as a person, that I visited Thailand with both passports and when? Or they only check the stamps on my passport and do not have any records of my entries to Thailand electronically. I'm asking because of the entry/visa rules. Both passports are in the Visa Exemption system. 

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai Immigration Officers have access to a person’s entire immigration history, including entries made with different passports. They utilize facial recognition and fingerprint scans to match individuals with their past records, meaning all visits to Thailand are documented electronically and accessible to the officers.
