tabarin Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Generally a dedicated Bangkok bank account is required, takes around a month and done. Fees average 35K baht per year. They keep your passport + bank book in meanwhile, this always works and never stopped working. Lawyers are magic too.

Passport scans are easier to get, just ask some hotel receptionists and you get hundreds per week. Low wages + corruption = result. No reason to worry much, if you are a real target, any information will be found or arranged anyway. Edited September 28, 2019 by tabarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually used an email I created specifically for immigration that I've used at my current immigration office for the last couple of years. If I receive any emails to it, I know where they've gotten my email address from and I'll make sure to raise as much ruckus as I can. No emails yet, though. Maybe other people could do the same thing. Just make sure to create a new email address if you change immigration office, so that you know which one leaked it. Protip: you don't need to create a new email.

Thailand Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 This facility has been around a long time and is likely to stay that way. However, if people continue to post about it there may be consequences, but unlikely. Peoples circumstances change,sometimes quicker than you think, and it could just so happen that those posting may find themselves in need sometime in the future, would be sad if their own previous actions have affected that which may have been of benefit. Just sayin! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRToMRT Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 "Grace" found me as well but are we sure its a "leak" at immigration. These days there are a myriad of lists with all our details being peddled and sold. Banks, Facebook, Internet forums, credit cards - they all sell and buy their lists to list compliers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also now wondering whether the info that we were required to report in the dreaded Foreign National Information form a few years ago could somehow have been harvested by the "lovable" Grace??
