Why is it important to sign documents with a blue pen at Chiang Mai immigration?
BLUE PEN SIGNATURE
Did a search on this here and it has been mentioned a few times, but today at Chiang Mai immigration it became clear as a matter of policy. Always sign documents with a *blue pen* or else they will be rejected. Apparently black ink signatures may be suspect of being "copies" or "fakes" but showing the blue ink is deemed a mark of authenticity. Note, this applies to *signatures* but not fill-in-the-blank text. So make a note of it - in blue. ✒️💙👍

This is a good rule of thumb everywhere. Always sign with a blue pen.

Good advice.
That said, color copies seem to blow a hole in the side of the bureaucratic ship.
More than once, I’ve watched them separate my originals and copies and put color copies in the original pack. I usually have to correct them.
Especially true for things with just a colored stamp.

Thank you for your report.... this is for Chiang Mai Thai Immigration offices.
