Traveling back to LOS soon.
Maybe a stupid question but.
I just renewed my passport. Haven't checked my height for 10 years. And after i got home i decided to check it. Then i realised im actually a bit taller than before. Surprisingly enough.

Im 1.18 inches (3 cms) than stated in my passport. Should i be worried about the passport control? Do I need to go back and make a new one. Or am i over thinking it?

I know for sure my measurement is correct

Tisto - no worries, the Thai immigration officers will not be measuring your exact height. You would need to be concerned if it was out by a lot - say 10 cm (4 inches) or so.

 

You must have had a growth spurt during those 10 years! :cheers:

I doubt immigration officials in any country would catch a discrepancy that small, unless they start looking at you closely for some other reason.

On a normal entry/exit they are looking at arrival and departure dates primarily. They only give a cursory glance at your name. If an alert or a flag pops up on their screen when they scan your passport, then they start looking at you more closely.

Sorry for not replying. I am now in BKK :D
Wasnt really nervous about it at airport.
They didnt even look at it. Just put it down on the scanner lol.
Yeah you are right. Going from computer geek to a gym addict surely seem to have made a change. Today its time for why not bar :P
