If you have done no wrong, you need not fear a knock on your door at midnight.

Just another reason not to marry a Thai.

Can't see the advantage anyway, unless you want a marriage visa.

Well, that's fair enough.

And as for criminal record checks, you should get one for any Thai you intend to employ. My ex-house cleaner, when she gets out of prison, will have a criminal record for theft in the special category: "Stealing from the employer."

I have nothing to hide, but she and her dropkick, wimp of a husband will.

...

However, fingerprints, iris recognition, whatever, are all valid tools in the screening process. They are needed now more than ever.

I think it will end up being an extra income revenue telling you that you need to pay up for some mis-demeanor that happened in your teens 40 years ago !

Its a black issue, according to me, as according to the mindset of immigration relative large numbers of black people can live in Thailand due to marriage, they, immigration reason that a number are 'convenient' marriages whereby no relationship can be established due to separations........while the romance gangs can continue to dupe Thai ladies into poverty!!

True or false......? its the mindset

Well i cant get it why to marry in Thailand???

Only problems come up to face them so better leave it how it is and dont marry at all!

 

OR YES IF YOU REALLY DEPENDING ON A MARRIAGE VISA: SO FACE THE PROBLEMS

Its worth going to Germany to do a crime just for added protection in Thailand!! Hehehehe

Can't be too careful where those pesky foreigners are concerned.

if you aint got nothin to worry about, dont worry

Why get married in Thailand in the first place ?  Why get married at all ?  The junta has just done many men a huge favor. 

[vagabondingshane 7]

It has to be money. I'll just bet there is a 'fee' for this background check that never happens. Lets call it a 'I'm a dumbass tax'.

Will help identify the body when found in a shallow grave in Isaan.
