Dmitril Ignatov, 32, had been in Thailand visiting his girlfriend and was trying to get back to Cambodia. When his passport was checked in the system he was found to be on three days overstay.

robblok Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Stupid, better to pay for 3 days overstay then to alter it and get caught. Maybe too much vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmaxdan Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I'm guessing here, but these days everything to do with immigration is (presumably) computerized, so when you enter the country everything is logged from visa numbers, who you are, date and point of entry and how long you are entitled to stay here etc. When you depart, they enter the number on your TM 6 departure card into the computer and all the relevant information is displayed. They may even be able to access this info by just scanning the biometric chip in your passport, although I'm not sure about that. So doctoring the the good old fashioned stamp in your passport is really rather pointless. on many levels. 30 years ago maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost my TM6 somehow, but when I arrived at Padang Besar the IO scanned my passport and asked me to fill in a new form. The TM6 number was changed on the computer and I was stamped out. The quite senior IO was very pleasant and not at all perturbed by the loss. BTW on my return at Had Yai airport, I was referred to a senior IO and asked about my lost passport, which happened 15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reported that he did not reveal his royal lineage during proceedings and was overwhelmed by being arrested never having to manage adversity and harsh treatment before. So he went like a lamb to the slaughter, literally. The Thais don't like to talk about it obviously. And his was only one day for which there would have been no overstay levied at the airport!!

He was in a coma before any of his family knew he was in a Thai jail. He was left unconscious on the floor of the cell without medical treatment for many hours.
