If he was blacklisted, why would he try to come back when he should know they will not let him in.

There are three things that come into play.

-Denied entry <- that's when you fly in but are NOT stamped into the country and instead held and either sent to any country you can get into or back to the country your passport comes from.

-Deported <- that is when you are already INSIDE the country, run amuck and are "invited to leave". It doesn't mean you're blacklisted or banned at all. It means what ever happened was serious enough for them to ship you out of the country BUT you can turn around and come right back in if you want to.

-Black-listing or Banning <- that is when you are prohibited from re-entering the country for a defined period of time. Before the overstay penalties concerning blacklisting came into effect most people who were black listed for 99 years (lifetime). Now there are 1, 3, 5 and 10 year blacklisting due to overstay.

Lauren Zar why would you need a lawyer to fight this. Just tell your father to get a proper visa, not a tourist visa, and he shouldn't have any issues

Lauren Zar no you can't apply for a visa for your father, he has to do that himself

Lauren Zar so denied entry rather than blacklisted? That's a very different thing. If he gets a proper visa that fits the purpose of his stay he should be able to enter OK. If he's over 50 I'd suggest a Non-O based on his age which he can extend annually inside Thailand
