Hi all. I entered Thailand (via Bangkok) a couple days ago (UK passport holder so just getting a visitor visa at the desk). I noticed that the immigration officer used their personal iPhone to take a couple photos of her screen (don’t think pictures of my passport itself were taken) but noticed it and thought it was unusual as never seen this before. All other interaction was completely normal and was stamped and let in without issue. Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience. For note, this is my first time back to Thailand in 13 years.

Hi all. I need to send my passport to an agent via post. Can anyone tell me what the most secure way of doing this is, please?

Is it Thai EMS? Is that at the regular post office?

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone. I have a question but not about visa.

So I stupidly sent my passport picture to a scammer because it was mainly for work purpose but apparently it was a lie.

I cant unsend email, so what should i do? 😩😩

I am worried if they use my details to scam others 😩😩🤦‍♂️

Hi guys just found out the hard way that if someone has any details on your UK passport they can cancel it without your knowledge. Therefore UK passport holders you are exposed when working in thailand your employer can screw you at any point by cancelling your PASSPORT. Becareful on who you work for as its perfectly legal for them to call Her majestys passport office and cancel your passport acting like you. Thank you England. I also had a chat with the operator at the HMPO he said there is nothing the UK Gov can do to help you and told me that their job is to only cancel passports. Please fellow Brits this is not a scam its reality and it can happen to you watch your backs as the guy who screwed me was a Brit.

Interesting part in this article:

" Interpol maintains a database of more than 75 million stolen and lost passports, but Thailand does not yet use it systematically.

“Not all 58 formal checkpoints are linked to the online database," Maj. Gen. Choochat Thareechat, Commander of the Thai Immigration Bureau’s Investigation Division, confirmed to the AP this week."
