What are the procedures when immigration officers check passports in Thailand, specifically regarding a non-B teaching visa?
Hello TVA fam. Just wanted to share a story with you. I am on my non b teaching visa and when I was going back today to my condo I saw 7 immigration officers with police officers at the entrance. They where talking to anyone they saw including the door man and receptionist. They called me over nicely asked for my passport or copy which I didn't have. I said it was in my room they escorted me there I showed them my passport my tm 30...the took a picture of me near to my room door...looked and something on their tablets...took down my passport information and said okay thank you you may go. They talked to all farangs in the be condo and much more. I think my big joke wave has hit Chiang Mai. But ye just a story. Gl all.
