Popular Post bluesofa Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 Perhaps the question should be more aimed at concern about what will happen to all the IOs responsible for administering 90 day reporting if it was scrapped? Will they be sacked, given early retirement, or even be assigned to other checking up on the dastardly foreigners? <For the hard-of-learning: The text above may contain traces of sarcasm> 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I don't do 90 reports, came close this year. Counting day arrival as day one (1) I stayed until the 90th day, upon that day I flew away. Am I guilty of an offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And moaning about it won't make it any better. again, I beg to differ. It seems our 'moaning' as you put it is beginning to make some headway. Serious questions are now being asked by immigration officers as to whether or not this should be scrapped. If nobody took any action, be it moaning or otherwise then nothing would ever change, would it? Everything would always remain the same., But as the world is constantly changing, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, I would say that there is a lot of moaning going on behind the scenes in society, which eventually leads to positive action. Just take a look at brexit, for example. Scottish independence another. The scotts had their vote and now they want another. They are moaning to high heaven and eventually they will get their way. It seems to me that lifes greatest movements were all started with a good old moan & grumble ???? (btw, I am in no way condoning brexit or another scottish referendum, merely pointing out that change usually comes after people voice their dissatisfaction with something or other).

KarenBravo Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Five minutes on the computer every three months. No problem. I'm betting that the immigration officers that actually have to do the paperwork for people that go to their office hate it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data is ostensibly collected in a computer system but I have never seen or heard of the data being used for anything. I have never received a letter, email, SMS, or call from immigration to inform me of rule changes or anything else. What could possibly be beneficial to Thai Immigration having us check in every 90 days? I think it's a form of 'rousting' that the police commonly perform. It helps remind criminals and other undesirables of their position in society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaoNiaw Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 1 hour ago, BritManToo said: I always though it was a mistake in translation. 'Person from another star' (alien) and 'person from another country' (foreigner), only have an accent difference in Thai language. foreigner = คนต่างด้าว Vs alien = คนต่างดาว I'm always a bit surprised people have never heard this outside Thailand. I've come across it in a number of countries though maybe not so much in direct interaction with the 'aliens'. I think Joe Biden was recently saying he wanted to replace the word 'alien' in US immigration laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a reminder 14 days before. This time, 13 days before, tried to log-in and we know all what happened. IM website on an extended holiday. Normally too late to report by post but did it anyway because didn't want to go to Imm. to stand in a queue. Still waiting to get my paper back. Checked online and was received on 07th April. In 2 days, I'm off to renew my non-immigration O-A (sweat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
