Could have kept the part that got detached - maybe in a small jar of alcohol - then when they expect you to do a finger scan just whip out the detached digest and try it! Probably wouldn’t even get a glance from the immigration officer.

that’s the punishment for BKK because they allowed the account opening abuse to go on. If the foreigners abide by the correct regulations and don’t ask agents to falsify documents etc this would not have happened.

The story goes something like this :- A branch of BKK in Pattaya was found to have opened something like 30 accounts for a single visa agent who was using the accounts for foreigners wanting various visas. Immigration were not very happy when they found out and an investigation was launched which is presumably why all existing accounts held by foreigners are now being scrutinized. And again if foreigners had not tried to abuse the system then there would not have been all the present problems.

@Jay ******

sorry but you are wrong.

@Jay ******

yes it is!

Great - so next time my wife moans at me about not finishing the painting, or weeding the garden I can just tell her immigration won’t allow me to do it!

@Farang *****

but your details will be recorded on the immigrations data base.

The very idea of presenting ‘new photographs’ is to show you are still in a relationship. Otherwise you could just carry on using one set of photographs for ever more - obviously there is more to this story than you are stating.

You say three previous extensions had been granted using the exact same photos! Strange as new photos should be taken for every yearly application.
