Matzzon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I guess Mahmood is in a bad mood at present time. Only 69 days. That must 5uck big time! However, another one invited to get the feeling of what pleasure a stay in the famous IDC has to offer. Please do not forget to login in and tell us you great experience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg1980 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Question: how many TV members would call in if they knew someone on overstay? If it’s not a black and white issue, what would your criteria for calling in be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's 100 % proof of being a pedo, ( nothing less) than I might dial this number. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV is as close as I get to being involved with foreigners as I generally keep to my self and do not have a circle I associate with other than my family, my Thai friends and foreign friends who come here... So nil to no chance as is not my problem and none of my business. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I do think "overstay" is used as a convenient way of getting someone out of the country who is suspected of some other, more serious, offence. There may not be sufficient proof of the other offence being committed so kicking someone out for overstay achieves the objective.

If they do something beyond merely overstaying that I'd feel the need to report (such as, poisoning dogs or molesting children), I would consider reporting them for overstay, as - sadly - that seems to promise the quickest results with the otherwise mostly useless plod.

I've known plenty of overstayers over the years, some decent, some not so much, however, it's not my job to report anyone. I'll leave the grassing, through some perceived self important sense of 'civic duty', to the 'superior' members here who have never, ever, ever done anything wrong ever, to ensure these 'criminals' get what they deserve. Were the person guilty of a more serious crime, then maybe I'd report them for that, but other people's visa woes aren't my business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stravers Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 All these deported expats and others unable to maintain the immigration conditions are going and gone. Central and Big C may not care but the laundry shops, fruit sellers, guesthouses, etc. certainly do. The best thing to happen would be that Thai is brought to their knees (colonized while we're at it) and have to rewrite immigration laws and attitudes. Philippines -- no visa run for 3 years!

There is a wealthy elite and a relatively braod middle class (for arab countries) in Tunesia. To insinuate he's here for work is not far from the habit of IO morons that expect the same of us westerners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
