You as well as everybody else have to play by the rules od Thai immigration. If that is jumped up from the junta or not is irrelevant. It´s going to regard you too as well as everbody else. Then you can play your little game, by beeing a tough guy, and call it what you want. That does not change the fact, that there are laws you need to obey if you wish to stay without problems in Thailand. A set of moral codes??? ????????????

It was 28 jobs on July 1st. So foreigners aren't allowed doing 11 things that Thai must do? Please explain !!!

SteveK Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Overstaying your visa has got to be the pettiest of crimes, totally victimless, yet they trot out the top brass and call in a photographer whenever they catch someone doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 5 hours ago, BestB said: Ok, I am all for people following the rules when it comes to visa, but at times must have compassion and common sense . Guy is the end of his life, clearly not well off , not a burden on society or government , most certainly not taking away any jobs or a criminal. How about being compassionate to find out why he overstayed, and perhaps fine him and offer some solutions instead of locking up and sending back as if he was some kind of international gun runner Compassion does not exist in Thailand in the exchange between immigration and foreigners.... as well know we are are looked upon a tick and must be removed.

If the authorities made it easier to stay no need to overstay It is as easy as it gets to obtain a prober visa if you want one.. Just be honest.. I have never had any problem obtaining visa. No need to go "below the radar" with overstaying your visa - unless you have something to hide ofcourse ... Good guys in-bad guys out... That's the deal and i actually like their way of handling this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't answer the question, do you want him to be stamped in again, regardless, even if he is not in a position to qualify like the rest of us have to. Perhaps you're saying that every foreigner over, say, 70 is exempted for visa requirements? I'm just asking a reasonable question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not and you can not possibly know as you have not been to every other country nor overstated in every other country. other countries you are given fair hearing to hear why you overstayed and why you did not go back.
