a small update from Royal Thai Consulate Savannakhet/Laos. If you have the warning stamp from Penang/Malaysia or Vientiane/Laos than they can NOT issue you another Tourist Visa even you fullfil the requirement and show money and have ticket. You can, however apply for Non B, Non O and Non ED, but make sure that documents are legit and correctly addressed to Royal Thai Consulate Savannakhet/Laos.

Answer summary

The Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet, Laos has announced that individuals with warning stamps from Penang, Malaysia or Vientiane, Laos are ineligible to receive a new Tourist Visa, regardless of meeting other requirements such as financial proof or ticket purchase. However, applicants can apply for Non-B, Non-O, and Non-ED visas if their documents are valid and correctly addressed. Discussions in the comments highlight concerns about the implications of old warning stamps and the legitimacy of visa applications, particularly regarding the scrutiny of documents and potential scams.

It was only a matter of time before they started checking for these fake onward airline bookings.

Do you know if this includes warning stamps on old visas? As in if there’s been a non Imm b for four years but an old tourist visa from years back in Vientiane shows a warning stamp. I know it’s a problem in Vientiane.

There was, last week, a scam exposed on various Filipino Facebook sides involving a Company in Bangkok that cooperated with a company in Phuket to obtain fraudulent Non B, so they check documents and they also check with airline about the booking of flight. If you plan to use our service, please make sure that all in order. Savannakhet is aware of these things.

The staff advised various customer from Phuket and Pattaya that they can not get Tourist visa here if warning stamp in passport, obviously your case is different, but I can not ask now. He mentioned as long as paperwork is OK people can apply Non Immigrant there.

I wouldn't be so confident about what is or isn't being entered in to these data bases at this particular time regarding anything to do with visas and entries in to the country.

Just a side question here, does anyone know if these warning stamps are registered in a system, or just physically in the passport? I have one in mine, but I'm running out of pages so I'm going to get a new passport soon.

Thank you.

they are just in your passport. Getting a new passport "resets" the warning. Immigration have a record of entries regardless of what passport you use.
