merijn Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You can strike out portions you don't want to answer, it's anyway only in "testing" in Chaeng Wattana now and as written before not an official document. Let's wait and see before drawing conclusions. I'd personally not answer the part about social media and transport. All the rest they have already. looks indeed it is a test case from some local officer. But i imaging that most people will fill this in without question as they will think that it is official document. Only some of them will refuse to fill it in completely.

MadMac Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Must be some rich foreigners (the form has room for 2 vehicles).Next time they make it a requirement to have a car. Mark is flooded with failed financing, let the aliens pay for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait and see before drawing conclusions. I'd personally not answer the part about social media and transport. All the rest they have already. They have no banking detail about those who secure extensions of stay via Income letters/Affidavits. I, personally, would not complete this form beyond those details (name passport number and address) which immigration already have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 And so did that general say, don't need to fill details. My point just is most of this they have already or can find out in the blink of an eye (call to DLT for instance). I don't really find it alarming as some do. They just try to optimize workload.

Many will find what is being asked for both threatening and intimidating. I will not complete this form but no doubt the "roll-over and enjoy" merchants will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspill Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Do you write "NO SPAM" in Thai as well as English ? (ไม่มี สแปม) That would be incorrect, it means you yourself have no spam. ไม่เอาสแปม would be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBF Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I'm a privacy "nut" - completely anal about security especially on line, however this strikes me as "much ado about nothing"! For Bank details it asks for "Deposit Accounts" - well mine's a Savings account so put "None" For vehicle details - put "None" (true in my case) For restaurant details - well fill in the name of a couple of local places you may have used once recently and where they don't actually know your name For social media, unless you are dumb enough to access it from the same email address that you give to immigration - None (I'm assuming here that people who are able to use this forum are savvy enough to have more than one email address - if not - make it so) The above will keep the nosy parkers happy and retain your privacy without getting into conflict - simples!

MadMac Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'd not write "none", just strike it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The form does not need a signature . Complete amateurish. General's minion should do it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosseway Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Appears to be something they are doing for extensions at Chaeng Wattana. Perhaps he had to do it for his re-entry permit if he had not done one before. I think it is a big uproar over nothing..

fosseway Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Most all immigration Documents I have seen and used refer to us as aliens, not foreigners, and always printed in both Thai and English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
