Why was a Filipino male rejected at Poi Pet border but allowed entry at Don Muang Airport on the same day?
This person, a Filipino male, was rejected at Poi Pet border on 10th July. He was asked to fly in. He had some Tourist Visa already, but no 30 day stamp in his passport. At Don Muang Airport, on the same day, no question ask, he got stamped in 30 days, even with this rejection stamp. Not all news must be bad.
Answer summary
A Filipino male was denied entry at the Poi Pet border on July 10 due to not having a 30-day stamp in his passport, despite holding a Tourist Visa. However, upon arriving at Don Muang Airport later that day, he was stamped in for another 30 days without question, even with the earlier rejection record. Comments from the community suggest confusion over ASEAN travel agreements and the visa entry rules for Filipino citizens, highlighting the complexities of visa regulations.

OK, I just checked and it is just a visa free travel agreement, I guess the original 2002 agreement has been amended.Tod *********
Nope, you thought wrong :O

Maybe he had two entries by land already on his passport therefore why he was asked to fly in. If so the more of the story should be instead, research before traveling.

Really? Just making sure as I was avoiding doing visa runs by train for that reason. Thanks.

OP@Alexandre ********
entering via land with a visa does not count , only 30 days entry and he had none.Alexandre **********************
Wait one thing..entry by land includes visa which is a minimum of 60 days. You sure he didnt do two visa runs by land? I didnt say two visa exempt entries by land.

Well then, moral of the story. Hope you don't get reviewed by a racist officer. Oh well. Is there anyone you can call to make complainment if that happens? Or who knows..the guard might accept small a bribe to make things right. Usually if theyre bad they also have that feature as part of the package.

He said they've never had a 30 days stamp

That is just plain strange :O
I thought fillipina people got TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land like the other 44 countries
