The 29-year-old man, identified as Alireza Motevalli, arrived at the border check point this morning with what appeared to be a British passport, said Pol.Col. Pallop Suriyakul na Aytthaya, commander of immigration police in Nong Khai province.
However, when an immigration police officer entered the passport number into the computer, it was revealed to belong to a British woman who reported losing her passport in Bangkok last September, said Pol.Col. Pallop.
Police then searched Motevalli’s bag and found his Iranian passport.
According to Pol.Col. Pallop, Motevalli confessed to entering Thailand last month on a tourist visa and hiring someone to procure a fake passport for him.
