There's got to be more to this than a tourist being denied entry.

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 you need to explain more clearly what happened. What's his passport. Did he have visa? Fid he already have overstay before he tried to come bac What jail did they put him in?
John **********
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
John **********
Lauren Zar no you can't apply for a visa for your father, he has to do that himself

Mange Olovsson what a load of bolony based on Social Media hype.
They are just scrutinising abuse of the 60 day waver and if you are living here without an adequate visa.

John **********
Lauren Zar do you mean he's already been blacklisted, if so for how long and where is he now?
Lauren *****
OP@John *********
yes they didn’t let him back in and he flew back to his home countryJohn **********
Lauren Zar your father does
Lauren *****
OPJohn **********
Lauren Zar sounds like denied entry to me
Lauren *****
OP@John *********
he went to a near by country and when he came back they put him in jail and didn’t let him backTo Thailand
John **********
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
