TLDR : Answer Summary
An Indian national is seeking advice on verifying the authenticity of a 60-day Thai tourist visa obtained through an agent. Community responses highlight recommendations to check with VFS in Chennai and point out concerns over the stamp versus sticker format of the visa. There are discussions regarding the costs associated with the visa, as well as experiences shared about different visa formats seen in Thailand and surrounding regions.

I believe the O/P knows what to do to check and see if this visa is real or not.

Thanx one and all for the advice offered (y)

The circular red stamp at the bottom looks to be real. however here is a visa from Chennai in Nov of last year and it is a sticker. The fact you have a stamp though is NOT reason enough to call it a fake.

Amandeep, cost doesn't matter, agent must have charged his fee.What matters is the visa genuine? So it's better for him to check with VFS, rather being deported/charged from BKK airport.

Just came back from Laos. It was a stamp not a sticker. I think they often run out of stickers so revert to a stamp.
