Popular Post trainman34014 Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 Both the RTP and Thai Immigration Dep't; internally connected anyway, are both Criminal Organisations from top to bottom. This is a recognised fact by the United Nations, who lists them as such. 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way nobody ever loses out and the whole corrupt system doesn't implode ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohy Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I suspect they acted illegally and took the whole cut for themselves, by passing agent referral, big mistake as with an agent the boss of the office normally gets the lions share No wonder they got caught 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedel Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 a French friend +- 28 years old told me about10 days or 1 week ago before the decision to extend the grace period that he was asked 69000 baht to have a 15 months visa in Koh Samui...or else, kicked out....but now..there is a new free extension, so, the guilty officers will have to wait again until they can ask prohibitive amounts like this, in Jomtien, it's "only 20000" insted of 2000 for 3 months+1900 for 12 months extension..hahaha (do they include multiple re-entry permit maybe too ???? ?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xonax Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I have always wondered, how so relatively many Thais can afford to drive expensive imported luxury cars and own 50-100 Million Baht and up property.

barryofthailand Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 When I lived in Pattaya one of my Thai neighbors working for immigration was doing retirement visas out of his house for 5,000 Baht. When I lived in Korat I saw many people hand over money and whiskey for bribes. These things have been going on for yrs. A letter of residence use to be free now from 200-500 Baht suppose to be free 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pay. What's the officer gonna do? They tried to charge me 4-500 Baht (no receipt) to transfer my old passport stamps to my new one. I refused to pay. Did I get kicked out. No. Did I get my stamps transferred? Yes no problem. No charge. 1500 baht to transfer stamps in Samui and an extra 3000 baht if I wanted my extension done that day. Please come and investigate here. When I hesitated, she said that passports have been known to go missing. My extension is coming up next month, any suggestions?
