Thread: Blacklisted

The guy I was talking about was on 5 years or more overstay, was arrested and convicted and also black listed. He got back in.

Pay your money. Get the stamp and then have it canceled.

Better yet they should let a guy fly all the way to Thailand and then have it stamped canceled at immigration.

Actually, blacklisting isn't forever - just 99 years.

A 25 year old drug charge isn't going to prevent you from getting in. Thais don't really give a shit!
But returning to your home country when they punch in your passport # it will be like they hit the "jackpot". They'll tear you apart.

A new passport and applying for a tourist visa could be your ticket back into Thailand. Especally after a very long time. Apply for the visa and see what happens.

It will work.

Yea, come on, they dig that Yoga and Muey Thai, altho in the states we call it bar fighting, but doing all that eat only bushes and weeds and fish from polluted ponds that taste like mud and sewerage while in the lotus position ,,shit man they will love you, especially if you have just scored a 1/2 K of gangi,, they love that hippy shit.

Do as others have done...change your name and get new passport. But suppose not appropriate if you only coming for a short holiday

Thats what this thread is mainly about, or didn't you read it thru?

Yes I did read the original post but I was responding to the post above mine that asked how someone deported could come back again a few weeks later. Didn't you read it properly?

You guys are hilarious...from my lifestyle, still a hippy and moved up up ecstasy?

That's too funny...and true or nor far from it for most of us Northern California former "Hippy turned Yuppie turned Seeker turned Promoter turned Burning Man turned ?
But that's old news these days as well.

Now what? Post election activism flatline and need a new career/life.

Maybe I should forget about it and go into prescribed pain killers like everyone else.

Thanks for the advise about the blacklist....

I suspected I'd probably just get in. I thought about applying for a tourist visa to be sure of it but i think much of the time you have to have an airline ticket in hand to go down there and I didn't want to buy a ticket just to go apply and then get turned down. I also wonder if I apply at an embassy if there may be more scrutiny or more data than showing at the airport.

hmmmm and re-reading all this...I'm not sure 25 years is that long. A borrowed passport would probably do it. Did you ever read about the Serpentine? He crossed borders with all his stolen passports...sometimes with the original photo still in and once with a new photo but put in upside down! After reading that I thought I could come back with anything but I'm not so sure...
Not sure enough to go all that way to get turned away or worse. I think saying I have never been there before might be the thing that might get the paperwork in a different pile or something.
Its a dilemna...I'd just hate to call attention to it and make it any more official than it might not be at a border.

bav

^ far as I know,you dont have to buy a ticket before applying for a tourist visa.....

OK Thanks all...I'll let you know...probably enough on this topic eh?
One other question; I was in Phuket staying at Kata Beach. It was pretty small then. I remember some smal guest houses on a hill just up from the street that comes into town and meets the coast road. I can imagine that those places are probably huge hotels now? Wonder how much Kata has changed?
There were a bunch of us staying there working for the film "Casualties of War".
(Yea that's me standing near Sean Penn, rifle in hand, nodding out. lol)
Actually it was just stand in/extra work and it seemed everyone hanging out there was working on that movie. There was a lot of work in that industry for a Westerner then.

fact is sometimes they will not sell and not let you board without a visa, but the VOA and no visa required pobly has changed some of that.

you have been given good advice but do not seem capable of taking it in

you are getting to be a bore

I still say this has to be a TROLL, it's been eons since you've been here and EVERYTHING has changed in that period of time. Get a brain and get the visa, 100% your old passport is well expired so this has to be a crap thread.

no, not a troll, that would require some intelligence

just a fool

Not a troll, I was just was trying to go on vacation with my girlfriend and was over- anxious for advise, which I did get ...and thanks...however...

I'm still not convinced that Thailand was exactly in the Stone Age to not have any records. 25 years sounds like a long time until you've lived it...and even I had more than a Comodore 64 WAYYYY back then.

Yea I could probably waltz in at the airport but the funny thing is the embassy only needs a copy of the info page and one empty page of my passport for me to apply for a tourist visa...not the whole passport so obviously that tells me that the one "persona non grata" page in the back of my old passport... is not the only thing they rely on.
Any idiot can get a new passport.

Plus I just called to try to apply for tourist visa and you DO need a copy of an airline ticket to apply for a tourist visa...at least with the Thai embassy in California and that would be in LA, a 6 hour drive.
You do see all the Catch 22's here?

Bottom line is; I'm not going this time. I'm not pussin' out, I'd like the slight drama, but its just too risky financially. I'll do it later when I at least have an onward ticket.

No more discussion be needed.
