WilliamIV Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) My Previous post at http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=35800 Was labeled a Hoax and closed. In order to regain my Credability ... I now understand this was Published in a Thai Newspaper - probably "Thai Rath" about a month ago. More precise details are that it was a small column The Chief of Police was reported as saying that he was aware of Foreigners problems with Visa Runs - Wasted Time & Expense And it made sense (and Money for Thailand) to have new visas available at Immigration - at a price. And that he intended to Appoint a New Head of Immigration soon. I am appealing to anyone able to read Thai to search & find this article - maybe from the Paper's website if it has one. Or thru direct contact with the Newspaper. I do not speak Thai & certainly cannot read it so any help would be appreciated Many Thanks Bill Edited June 8, 2005 by WilliamIV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovenman Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 There may well have been such an article in the Thai press but I really wouldn't put much stock in one Thai government official running his mouth in front of a group of reporters. New policies are announced almost daily in the papers as being a fait accompli and then never heard from again. The type of change you describe would be such a fundamental altering of the Thai visa process that governmental inertia alone would be enough for it to never get off the ground.
