No Tod, nothing unusual on the previous visa. It was obvious by the questions asked that he couldn’t believe that I wasn’t working in Thailand. He had his own suspicions and I failed to convince him otherwise. That’s the reason.

thank you for advising that.

I was responding to the misguiding information being given earlier.

They will replace a damaged passport, it doesn’t need to be lost and require a police report.

What I really wanted to know is what could happen if I tried to enter Thailand with the visa in my passport. The answer is, no one really knows yet.

Thanks for the information.

@Michael *******
it would have been different in Vientiane. My mistake was using PP embassy 3 times in a row. A rejected visa is almost understandable, but detaining people, or tainting their passports with no proof of wrongdoing is unacceptable.

Two of my friends were detained for a week at DMK. They were charged 1000THB per night for the pleasure of it. Then they were returned to Myanmar where the visa was issued. They now live happily ever after in a neighboring country.

Okey, so my best option is to misplace my passport and get a police report. Then take the police report to the British embassy in PP to get a temporary travel document, so I can then travel to Bkk on a VE and apply for a new passport at Trendy?

Thanks

, that’s what I thought. I was just kind of hoping there was a simpler and less sneaky option. Is it possible the British Embassy will just give me new passport to replace my current tainted one? Just to cut out the lost passport hassle at a police station?

@Tod ********
have you had many discussions about this happening to people? I’ve searched on here and on google, but I can’t find the answer I’m looking for. What are my options and what could happen at an airport or land border when I return?
