You need to go ASAP. Most likely they will correct it but not noticing for 20 days isn't good.

Check and double check everytime you come through immigration.

When you sign up for the TE you agree to them checking the criminal database in your home country. That's why the approval takes around 10 days. It's easy for them to check on anybody, anywhere if they choose to do it.

They don't work with pens and ledgers anymore. Surprising they use computer's and Databases 😊

Read my post above regarding the TE visa on just what they can and do regarding a foreign database.

If they are serious, I doubt it will be confined to Phuket.

I think they are finally admitting they have a serious issue of not knowing who's here and granting entrance to those that shouldn't be here. Perhaps recent events in Pattaya and mass arrests in Bangkok have finally tipped the balance. Thailand simply don't like all this bad news all over the world media outlets.

Strange they say they can't check the foreign database when TE do when you apply for the visa. What further checks could they do on Tourists if that isn't the case?

Didn't they announce a short time ago in mid 2017 that they were working with the UK and US on database sharing and this fingerprint and bio metric system? They stated the UK and US were installing it.

This bit is interesting

However if they are a tourist for example, hasn’t been here very long, there may be further checking into the history of the person.

It's also not easy for UK non business travellers to get a second passport. What I cannot seem to find is how long the second passport is valid for. Wether it's a fresh 10 years or only valid for the same time as number 1 passport. Either way, unless your working and can prove the need, you'll likely not get one.

David Edwin we are not talking holding 2 passports. UK citizens can hold 2 passports. It's to do with requesting a replacement of a previous passport that is about to expire. I know your American and not the sharpest knife in the draw but please try to keep up.

@David ******

I have no idea what your talking about regarding lost or stolen passports? Once you've applied for a replacement passport, you cannot travel. End of.

Rob Huff I think some people maybe getting confused with keeping it but not being able to travel on it. 😊
