It might show an openness to the West that not all Thais have. It might also indicate that he has enough confidence in his English to go to an English speaking country. And perhaps he'll even appreciate that not all Westerners are tattooed beer-swilling, girl-grabbing louts (though that will depend on which US city he visits)… Wishful thinking perhaps. But the government loves China and all things Chinese. Why didn't Big Joke go to China for his vacation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have a habit of sending someone in from outside... in this case.... like BJ, someone who apparently has absolutely no prior working experience within the Immigration Bureau. Anyone who can afford to buy a a fancy rank qualifies. Roll up all you Lt/Cols, Maj Generals, just a minute, no Field Marshals yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerojero Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 As it should be. If you don't qualify for a visa why should you be allowed to get in or stay in the country. Not any different in most countries across the world. Big OUT has arrived , and that is not a joke. Foreigners without valid visas, you will soon have to get OUT of here. The only part we are not sure about yet is how the photo sessions will look like, but I'm guessing it will be spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inThailand Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 My money is on the norm here, these new money visa rules will just not be enforced by most Imo officers. It's business as usual.

It's not only Asians that have the concept of 'face', British civil servants won't be doing any u-turns either. They've already 'banked' the savings supposedly generated by the removal of this service. The only possibility, should real difficulties be created for enough citizens, would be to use an agency, such as VFS or similar, to provide some sort of service acceptable to Thai immigration but even that's a long shot.
