FlyingThai Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I don't get all the booha about this case. Those who use this particular agency which is promising (and obtaining) visas without any of the usual documentation knew full well that in the background something fishy is going on. Be it bribery, forgery or very likely a combination of the two. If they managed to "clear" things up with immigration $$$$ then so be it. I bet they are desperate for tea money these days and willing to let most things slide. The drug plantation of the husband is a police issue, not an immigration matter and as such shouldn't concern people who simply want to get their visa taken care of. That being said there are so many agents out there, if one is truly worried about their service just go across the street but don't expect things to be better there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Whatever we may think of this drama, I cannot help but notice that they are very confident that they've resolved the situation to everyone's satisfaction. And they probably have, as it so often plays out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malawi Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Quote Yes that is the one.... She must have paid off someone to be able to come back AGAIn with her fake VISAS... Maybe time to call that special number and report she is back in business agin?? glegolo Got it in one Glegolo. A bunch of crooks. It's a dis grace.

Caldera Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Well in fairness, according to the news report that included the address of the premises that were raided, this was NOT the Thai Visa Centre office, but Grace's residential address. If they had targeted Thai Visa Centre, they would have (also) raided their office - even Thai immigration should be able to get that address from their public Facebook page. ???? So their explanation that this raid was related to Grace's other (or past) activities cannot really be dismissed out of hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here also, everything was a big misunderstanding. "Move on, carry on, there is nothing to see, T.I.T.". please let me know what you think Grace made good friends with other inmates while inside and what eventuated.

You would be amazed how easy that would be. Every post on this forum has an IP address attached. So a court order for Thaivisa to reveal the IP address. After that a court order for the ISP which subscriber used that IP address on that particular time and day, and next they knock on Glegolo's door, with or without the BMW. And before you come back with he could use a VPN, I think there are very few members on this forum who use a VPN to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when a plane crashes and all the lemmings are thinking 'I'm not going to fly with that airline' but I am thinking I AM going to fly with that airline because they'll definitely have cranked up safety. Likewise now the 'misunderstanding' has been resolved this agency is probably the safest place to get a visa right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely from a consumer point of view, if my agent manages to wrestle herself out of jail/investigations by whatever means I'm more than confident that she can also push a simple visa through with some monetary persuasion. This alone is the best reference an agent can have. As far as your airplane theory goes, yes you'd think that. But I was on the same plane as MH370 just hours before it went off the charts (my flight was MH371 PEK-KUL) and thought I dodged a bullet, kept flying MAS. A few weeks later another MH aircraft went down - admittedly, it was shot down but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arrested a 34 year old Thai woman with a Western surname (withheld here). She reportedly has admitted providing fake visas using fake documentation. She was found in possession of 55 fake rubber stamps and fake documentation. https://www.dailynews.co.th/crime/788236 a google translate reveals the whole story including the dead dog. I'd make a wide berth of this company but then I dont use agents anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) The previous thread was closed and then almost an apology issued. I guess defamation or similar could apply to those who were complicit in spreading the story? A difficult one to deal with in Thailand.

They have effectively been exonerated of any wrong doing. If I needed the services of an agent right now, this would be the go to agency for me! ???? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
