I’m really curious about this.
Does anyone know if having the “Remark: The holder of this passport travels to Thailand under a tourist visa several times which may result in the refusal of a visa in the future.” stamp in your passport after getting a visa in savannakhet forbid you from applying for another tourist visa only at that specific consulate in savannakhet? Or does it apply for all consulates in other countries, more specifically, if you go back to your home country and apply for an METV there and they see the remark? Would it be better to just apply for a new passport and start fresh with no visas? I’m thinking since the METV is $200 I could just get a new passport and not worry about it rather than apply for the METV, they see the stamp and then deny my application and I lose out on the $200.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The presence of a specific remark stamp indicating multiple tourist visa entries may impact your ability to obtain future tourist visas, not only at the consulate where it was issued but potentially at others as well. New passport applications might bypass this issue due to lack of shared databases among consulates, but caution is advised as immigration officers have discretion upon entry. It’s recommended to prepare a proper plan and consider alternative visa options based on your situation.
