Do you think that people who promote Thailand on the web should be given a free visa for life and be allowed to stay as long as they want ?

ZeVonderBearz Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Now swap this one overstayer for the 10,000s of Thai illegals working in South Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YogaVeg Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The mooch was illegally working and probably not for free (get serious people) while laughing at immigration for 3 long years. This is simply criminal behavior. Crackdowns for the rest of us results. Funny how some people assume this outlaw's "work" was to encourage law-abiding legal tourism. He just as easily could be running a website on how to beat the Thai visa system illegally. 10 year ban, fine, and some street cleaning time sounds about right. Good riddance.
