If they were serious about over stayers they would publish a list of names and faces.

 

they can't...they're assuming it is that much but not really knowing...why they always fish them out via "crack downs" and never go to the doors of these villains? they don't who they are and where they are

What a disgraceful admission of the administrative incompetence of the Thai government. Presumably many of these would have arrived over the past 4 years.

Maybe the problems associated with visa renewal might have something to do with it.

Just alone the time and mind draining inconvenience, travel expenses, having to put up with bad tempered, inflexible, deliberately unhelpful and inept immigration officers plus the loopy laws related to the different visas would be enough to deter anyone from bothering to renew their visa. But that wouldn't occur to them. 

Well said.

My friendly local som-tam lady, the informed-source of inside-information on most Thai affairs, tells me that approximately 77.2365% of the 100,000 over-stayers were hitch-hiking when Yingluck stopped to pick them up !  :shock1:

 

This explains a lot, really  ...  :smile:

Khongcheep said transnational criminals or foreign criminals in Thailand were involved in various vices such as drug dealing, weapon trading, human trafficking and prostitution, as well as forging passports, selling fake diamonds, online gambling and running call-centre scams. These crimes had resulted in economic damage to the country and tarnished its image.

 

These are 'protected occupations' for Thais only? :whistling:

Whine & backbite all you want, overstayers are a logical target for the Thai government.  'Fits in well with the overall xenophobic campaign and no end to the stream of reports of foreigners committing whatever crime who turn out to be in an overstay status as well.    And that means the rest of us playing entirely by the rules, however labyrinthine they may be, get to enjoy some extra scrutiny.  Long-term overstayers fall into two categories: the ones that really are the criminals Thai officials say they are, and the ones still living in the 1960s.   Neither group is making life any easier for the rest of us.

Regardless of the justification, actively policing immigration laws is important for every country. Failing to do that and you end up in the mess we have in the US, where millions of illegals demand their "right" to stay.

 

It's hard to convince people that just because you have been illegal for a long time, you are NOT suddenly legal.

I think the problem is that once you leave the airport, realistically there is little the Immigration can do to check on people particularly if you move from the address stated on the arrival card.

I rememember years ago asking the question of an Immigration officer in Australia who laughed and asked if I was serious, he said unless people are caught breaking the law they can evade detection for years.
