  1. My take on this is that it was planned for years, but the virus suspended the plans, until now or the near future, even a new government won't be that new, and will be influenced from the old regime So changing the immigration act, will be for many reasons, not just the over 50 visa, but maybe how extensions are obtained, changing the laws around citizenship to push for more Chinese land and business owners, which would be maybe underneath all the recent 'special' agreements between Thailand and China, and increase requirements for everybody else to deter many more, and keep less of non-Chinese who knows if it will all succeed, but they clearly have been planning, and big joke is just a mouthpiece, and you also never know, if this old regime will lose its way in the next 5-10 years, and the new fairer regime will become the new way of society, who might have much better ideas for immigration, it's a tough one to try and see too much into the future, but nothing wrong in trying to evaluate things But last weeks comments werent just for the audience of foreigners, it was probably telegraphing to embassies, that even if the excuse of biker gangs is fake and weak, it's still a good enough eccuse to use as a pretext to try and change many things regarding immigration, which would limit any strong reactions from embassies, and yes its clear many embassies don't give a damn, but this regime still will make sure they can deter any reactions
  2. Hold on, if someone been living here for 5-10 years, then the criminal record will be done in Thailand, they have 2 sections for records, one office for working here, the other office for going overseas or for immigration, even on here marriage visa holders state they had to get a local record check, so it will drpend, where you have been living, which will then be your record check
  3. Chinese Nationalists are just so fake, and hate it when proven facts are thrown their way, just like the poster I replied to, I always reply to a nasty racist Chinese/Thai with 'Go back to China' if they want to act a higher species, then good luck, because a few facts thrown their way, and they get to receive their own nasty medicine
  4. Your post is a proven myth, and Siam is a Vedic word, like many of the ceremonies going back 2000 years, the only reason why the indiginous people of this land were called Tai, because nobody in the past could tell them it was a myth and they were mis-labelled, and that there are actually from this land, very little to do with Tibet and South China, and as Vasi has researched close cousins to the Javanese But you keep lying to yourself about the myth that people from South China settled in what is Siam/Thailand and became the Tai people, it's just fake and here again just to re-inforce how fake your information is: 'famed Thai anthropologist and physician, Pravej Vasi, found high blood levels of Hemoglobin E in populations living in Southeast Asia, and in the Tai, Khmer, and Mon civilizations, but he did not find any of the blood markers in Chinese populations' and one last time indigenous means they never came from another place, they were already here, just mis-named Good luck
  5. I have a sneaky feeling that this future change of immigration laws and extensions, will try to allow more 5 year visas to help the LTR gain more clients, and make it harder for 1 year extensions and introduce background checks every extension, to reduce the cheaper competition to the LTR, there was a lot to unpack in those recent articles by big joke on this visa, and I worry that they just don't give a damn, as another visa 'business' M section at CW last 2 weeks was empty, normally there are 60-70 people waiting and sitting at that section, I know because I was next to it at N section, and my section people numbers were down by 50%
  6. Your post is fake information, and has proven to be a myth 'famed Thai anthropologist and physician, Pravej Vasi, found high blood levels of Hemoglobin E in populations living in Southeast Asia, and in the Tai, Khmer, and Mon civilizations, but he did not find any of the blood markers in Chinese populations' Tai people are actually indigenous to this land, and their closest cousins are the Javanese through blood types and languages going back 2000 years The main problem with the Tai people myth being from China, is that the Bai people or Tai people were from Tibet, and Tibet is not China, but recently been invaded by China But Bai people or Tai are not indigenous to this land, it's a name given to them by myths and fake information about coming from what is now South China, after China has invaded Tibet, Manchuria, and lately Laos But good olde Wiki will keep sugar coating the myth to help all those Chinese nationalists feel good and warm about emigrating here, thinking they are past blood brothers, which has all proven to be false
  7. You missed the point, where I mention corruption using gold carrots and sticks by the Chinese with bags of gold and legal merging agreements, between Thailand and China, which always involve great benefits for the corrupted local regime, and one way traffic in benefits for Chinese, through, trade deals,future citinzenship, business ownership and land rights through full membership of belt and road, and side agreement of local national strategies of 20-25 years, merging laws of Thailand and Beijing, great for the Thai/Chinese wealthy elite, great for Chinese regional expansion, bad for 90% of the darker skin thais, and the rest of the expat community, or non-chinese community of foreigners Nobody believes this regime is navagating between anything, it's why this regime and their Chinese partners, hate Move Forward Party so much, because Move forward plan to be a fairer society for thais, not this corrupt pro-Chinese, male-dominant gangster regime, that can take as they please, and gain wealth through connections eith Chinese/Thai businesses and the Chinese State, treating darker skin thais as low skilled imbiciles, only alive to make money for the light skin chinese, sad, but thats where we are at, in this land right now or the cheaper version and similar situation in Cambodia
  8. That can be one part, the other part is this regime for 8 years has become so greedy, so interwined into helping Chinese regional expansion policy, that a police/immigration head in yesterdays english paper online too, about arrests of outlaw gangs, spent the most of the article saying 800k in the bank is too cheap, and should want more investors on 5 year visas and ask the next government to change the visa extension laws, this is your typical gangster regime in charge, little rule of law, male-dominant, and greedy as hell and Bangkok immigration last week was half empty with 'M' section (business section) a waste land of 5-10 people waiting, normally 70-80 people waiting, I know because my section is N which is next to it, they don't care anymore, they have hands in the corrupt Chinese bag of gold, and that's that, unless Move Forward Party and its future parties changes this regime, and the country for the better in a fairer more rules based way
  9. I think I must have hit a factual nerve in your LTR sales agent brain previously, with your low-end sales pitches trying to keep the LTR thead alive, I already have a visa for nearly 20 years, it's called Elite, and most of my post you replied to was anout China and 8 years of changes, as directed at the upcoming changes to over 50 visas, spoken in the national press yesterday by aka 'big joke' good luck LTR sales agent
  10. There must be a point to your reply to my post, because I didn't see it, if you can't see whats been happening for the last 8 years on many visas and crackdowns and pro-chinese hints, well one thing is key now, if you rely on 12 month visas with the recent conments I mentioned then good luck
  11. Last couple of days in articles attributed to the motorcycle gangs, police/immigration spent most of the article talking about changing the 'over 50 visa' and changing the extension laws, so nothing surpises about this regime, who are likely to stay in power for a few more years, Elite costing more is just part of a larger attack on reducing non-Chinese long term stayers and increasing Chinese long term stayers, we have all seen the huge signs for the last 8 years All these latest moves will reduce western expats, unless they have a few million to lose, and increase Chinese long termers, who can get bank loans from Chinese banks with the okay from Thai/Chinese banks businesses, to buy companies, condos, houses, and in the near future gain more legal rights for their purchases, and only the few westerners will be able to compete thats my take in it Elite is just part of it as nearly 40% of new members are Chinese
  12. I have no idea, why that would happen nowadays, usually N1 can go into 150-200 ticket numbers and more if busy to 250-300, but N2 normally goes to 100-150, but there is actually only 2 desks for N2, and about 8-9 desks for N1, so maybe they were just so slow with agency students, teacher visa/extensions clogging up N2, they had to use N1 desks to quicken the process up, but actually when they first N-section operated at Chaeng Wattana, N2 was only just for more rare extension/visas like monks, diplomatic etc, and N1 was supposed to be for students,education, teachers, but agents for school and students and their piles of passports, turned N2 into a little agent/immigration desk at the back of N-Section, overall, it can get quite slow at N section for everyone no matter was visa/extension you have But I did notice last time I went recently, the numbers of people at immigration were very low, like half the amount of people normally there, so maybe N1 didn't have a long waiting list, and could help out, but I haven't seen it that empty for a long time
  13. This is just beating of the chest, to a low IQ audience but also an excuse to embassies, who pretty much don't care anyway about expats in the country, to keep their attack on foreigners, they have done the last few years they even mention retirees in other articles relayed to this shakedown, clearly this articel has omitted it cue go not wanting to scaremonger, well retirees don't have to work, so the idea that retirees are now included in this continued shakedown, just means they know they will be no reaction by the expat community, and they can continue to lie and mis-inform and just hype, for effect information to the low IQ local audience
  14. The N2 section used to be only for diplomats, monks etc, there is actually a waiting room next to it, but over the years, it has been taken over by large group education and teacher visas, they still do the other visas, but because of the agents and their large group visas, the section sometimes becomes even slower than N1 section
  15. Exactly, and because of all the corrupt Thai-Chinese agreements, Thai beareaucrats are meant to travel to China for training, what the article missed through it's fake information, is that already thai immigration passes on all Chinese passports to the Chinese embassy for first allowing any extension before Thai immigration approves That nugget was reported, when the Chinese Christians were found, after extending their stay What the report also fails to admit, the Thai 20 year national strategy, isn't a national strategy, but a Thai-Chinese agreement to merge laws over the 20 years, this is why these Thai beauracrats have to go, the Chinese will demand this training, just like they do with all the countries that have full membership to the Belt and Road, like Thailand, and all have similar 20 or 25 year National strategies Imagine how many billions have been paid over the last few years by China, to corrupt this regime to sell out the country Malaysia through 1mbd and Chinese corruption is finding out it ran into 15-20 billion dollars
