So many people talk about being blacklisted? Why? And how did you know? I am worried (I shouldn’t have anything to worry about though)

Answer summary

The term 'blacklisting' in Thailand often arises from misunderstandings and fears among expats, particularly regarding visa issues. Many expats express concern over being blacklisted, though it often stems from bureaucratic problems rather than actual bans. Blacklisting typically occurs due to significant legal infractions such as long overstays or criminal convictions. Most concerns are based on rumors or anxiety over paperwork mishaps and do not reflect actual blacklisting. If a person were to be blacklisted, they would be informed directly during the process.

And most of them are not blacklisted. People are just being denied because they did something on their paperwork wrong but their victim mentality makes them scream blacklist.

Blacklisting only usually occurs 1) Long overstays 2) Convicted of crimes in a Thai court.

You should know if you've been banned. They don't just randomly ban people. You're there when they do it.

Why? Not following the law. How do you know? Deportation is a big punch in the nose.
