Popular Post tom in bangkok Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 Went to get some things for dinner and noticed an immigration truck pulling into the driveway. Came back and saw some officers talking to the people in the juristic office. Is this anything to be concerned about even though I'm fully legal here? What are they doing here? 3 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tonray Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 Have a drink and relax. If you are here legally why the concern ? 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 Probably looking for somebody or checking to see if people staying the building were being reported using a TM30 form. It seems you have nothing to worry about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the new Thailand, not Elysium...NO Diplomatic immunity unless very large envelopes are ready in hand. Hah, keep a wad of 1000thb notes in my drawer? Or do the officers accept qr code bank transfers? I've got a plan already in case things really do hit the fan for no reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom in bangkok Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 In fairness this isn't something I'd seen before and couldn't find a thread that was the same. Wanted to know what was up. Relax. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamyai3 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 In some previous cases they've set up a temporary desk in the lobby and asked to see passport and TM30 for the foreign residents passing by, those without one got fined. Since it's evening though it could have been a more general sweep of the area where they were just checking with the juristic offices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit strange don't you think that I was able to nominate that ONE random thread before you confirmed Soi 13 Trendy building. Never to be repeated. Back to my question. "Some posts"?

Is that another joke? There must have been reason to to apprehend someone on 5 day overstay. What does "mob handed" mean? Surely German had another issue other than short overstay.

natway09 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 They are perfectly entitled to check whatever, whereever whenever they like ,,,same as Immigration in any country in the world. If all legal relax & ignore the doubting Thomases posted above. They more than likely have something to hide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
