Keep calling Big Oud's hotline: German arrested on 218 day overstay

[SpanishExpat 723]

So many people still chill too much in the regard of overstaying. I just can`t understand that. The french boyfriend of a good friend here loves to overstay 1-2 days each time he visits her. He said it`s no problem, as he just gets trough with it or pays the small fine. When I told him if he never thought about a denied entry, because of that "minor thing" (he usually comes twice per year on exempt) he said no. 

 

If it was me, I wouldn`t mind to give everyone a life-long ban, if the overstay is more than 100 days. There`s absolutely no reason to overstay if one has nothing to hide.

So a Thai grouse turned him in; he will be deported and the Thais who had been benefiting from his custom will lose out.  Thai logic.

Thais will grass on their own family if there's money to be made; it's called "Greed", a Thai trait.

 

"Thai logic" is that there is no tomorrow, so why plan for it.

He has made it quite clear - We should all be reporting 'Law Breakers'......   anything else he will contradict himself and the corner he has backed himself into with his 'black & White', 'Right and Wrong' lack of 'real world' thinking. 

 

 

If it was a friend anyone who is considerate and cares would got for option (c) try and advise them to sort out their situation, otherwise (b) its not really our business, they are not hurting anyone. 

 

 

I agree that in his view that is what “we” (as in you and me) should be doing, but I was just giving him a chance to say whether or not he would definitely report someone himself.

He should have said snitch not spy

That´s exactly right, but I guess that was to hard to comprehend. I sincerely hope you at least get a thank you for you kind help.

Out of interest, Matzzon, if you became aware that a farang of your acquaintance was on overstay what would you do? And assuming that they have not committed any other offences or crimes.

 

(a) report them to the authorities?

(b) do nothing, because it’s not your business?

(c) try to persuade them, maybe over a period of time, to hand themselves in before they are caught out?

 

I would add that I am not trying to ‘bait’ you. I am just interested to know what your next step might be.

 

 

No problem, it´s a fair question that I´ve already been asked before and also replied to.  

I answer same as before. I do not have any friends or people I know that overstays that I am aware of. If it would happen, though. I would chose (c).
 

That at the same time as I would try to help them. For example with a ticket home or other economic help. If that is not accepted and they do not clear their problem. Yeah, then I will assume that they refuse to get help if they have no money, or chose to just don´t give a thought to obeying the rules.

That is not any kind of friends I would like to have, and will then have to reconsider and understand that I made a wrong choice of friend. Therefore I would report him if he is that crazed and ignorant or do not see the benefit in the offer of help.

He's not on this forum to contribute intellectually. He presents an 'off the cuff' response, then presents any argument no matter how daft, unbalanced or extreme to win. 

 

For people like this the discussion isn't about explaining something and entering into intelligent debate, learning and passing on their thoughts - its about winning and argument no matter how daft, unbalance, bias or wrong their viewpoint is.

No TM30 mentioned in any of these busts.  Must be a secret weapon and very effective given that its so much effort for everyone.  It must have great results.

Sure, It´s your life. I would go for the on that drives on the pavements, due to that you at least gets payed. However, then you are doing something that a Thai could have been doing and are earning money at the same time without a work permit that is impossible to get for that. You will be deported!

I believe the term is "grass", a grouse is a small game bird.

What is relevant here is that another overstayer bites the dust, and will be according to the law deported and blacklisted for his arrogance and refusal to live by the rules.

Because it's just low hanging fruit.

 

Who cares about days of overstay, even down to the silly count of only 5 days, as we read last week.

 

 ... in the past, the immi just cashed in their 500 Baht per day on the way out and it was not even worth a mention.

 

But surely ... I can sleep so much better these days! ... life is so much more safe and secure now that all those overstayers are not on the road around us anymore. What a relieve!

 

Another day, another unimportant overstay report on TV ... hope you got your daily dose & kick out of it Mazzo ;-))

So why do the BIB need people to ring a hotline and dob in overstayers. BIB keep bragging about their wonderful 2 billion baht bio metric system that catches all these people; or has someone noticed at BIB in doesnt work on people that are not scanned in the system yet?

[Ventenio 2,174]

I want farangs to wear different colors based on their visa, and let's tattoo a bar scan behind their neck.   Plus, can only ride in the clown bus with a big red nose that only stops at places where it's 1000 baht to use the bathroom.

NO sympathy, it's not exactly that hard to find an agent that would sort it for a 1,000 a month
