ORIGINAL POSTERHi... I wonder if someone can answer my question.... it’s not 100% visa related but I hope some one can answer.
I have a single non-o visa in my passport with a re- entry permit while I went to the Uk for work and to get an Indian work visa. The problem is my work used this passport with my re-entry permit to apply for my Indian work visa. but I have another Uk passport different passport number which I will have to use to enter Thailand when I return start of December. I understand I will lose the non- o but do you think I will have an issue when doing my finger prints at the airport and they see my name attached to another Uk passport?
Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about potential issues when re-entering Thailand with two different UK passports. They hold a Non-O visa with a re-entry permit, but the passport with the Indian work visa will be used for entry, potentially complicating immigration checks.

I guess you'll find out how it works when you stamp in to the country.

There's not enough immigration confusion here. Is it necessary to use 2 passports?

some people have to because they travel extensively and many consulates need the passport for a few days to put the visa in.
Most countries allow people to hold two passports from that country IF they can show the need.

I should get a receipt from the Indian embassy once I have my appointment and I will bring that with me... thx for your help againScott ***********
ORIGINAL POSTERYeah I was thinking that myself, but like you said there might not be an issue, both are Uk passports both my name same DOB only difference is passport numbers and expiry dates.
Obviously be an issue if i done the biometrics and it was a different name , DOB etc linked to me.
I would like to think that some IO have came across this situation before

ORIGINAL POSTERHaha well it expires Jan 20th, I reckon I’ll be at work start Jan anyway so wouldn’t be a problem with that. I suppose just be ready for some questions from immigration when I arrive in bkk!!

It might get a bit confusing when you next use the passport with the extension and reentry permit if it's still in date lol
Scott ***********
ORIGINAL POSTERI totally understand that I will lose the non-o that wasn’t really my issue and I’m not to bothered about that it was just wondering if any one had cane across an issue like this before.
I can probably imagine the IO thinking it’s a fake passport or something!!

yes as the two passports will be linked and your valid Non O with re-entry permit will show up on the screen

ORIGINAL POSTERI am aware it’s not made by you... but you seem to think your always know every thing so i thought I’d ask for advice, and I don’t think I’ll be saying I thought Thailand is a Muslim country but thx anyway!!!
Robert *******
Just explain that you thought Thailand is a muslim country and therefor you have two legal passports, the decision is made by the Immigration officers not by me.
Scott ***********
ORIGINAL POSTERYes but both passport are legal and I have both of these passports for work related issues regarding visa’s or if go to a Muslim country and try to get into Israel.
What do you think the outcome will be then at immigration??
