Grubster Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I bet that Brit will have a hard time explaining why he was drawing the welfare money back home while he was on overstay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meltdown of the Immigration computer system would hardly help the cause of the authorities catching the baddie overstayers. Like Dean Martin once sang "Ain't That a Kick in the Head".

As far as the fining of not-recorded visitors is concerned I am sure that this goes down particularly well with all those tourists, presently absent for other reasons. Should my brother visit and stay with me in my rented property I would have no clue, if the landlord or I would have to inform which authorities with which form against which fee at which office or address. Schizophrenic - to say at least; explains the emptiness of Thailand's hotels while worse hotels at double the prices in Laos and Myanmar are full to the rim - TAT please note! Not really that interesting...I've gone over 5000 days "unnoticed" in Thailand, in that I've never been randomly stopped by any Thai police official and asked to identify myself and/or check my entry status. That's why these losers overstay...because the chance of ever being picked-up are close to nill. These three were just very unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have been all over the country. So the "bad guys" must be easy to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandemara Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 On arrival at an airport you provide an address you'll be staying at on your arrivals form. The info is entered on a computer while your photo is taken. Aren't any of these official Immigration computer system connected, part of the whole system? are the systems just for show rather than for security/public safety? How hard could it be to make sure systems are integrated from the outset? Are Immigration, police and military working against each other's aims?

SheungWan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Is that written on their forehead these days, that you know who is an overstayer and who not? Almost. One or two for sure who look somewhat the worse for wear. Homeless falang deteriorate quite distinctly in appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattayadgw Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Other countries have similar problems with people coming in on tourist visas and don't leave. But ive never seen so much hoopla in my own country about this issue.... the cops / immigration just get on with tracking these people down. Why here do they make such a song and dance about this issue and why cant they first straighten out their visa system for everyone, so everybody knows clearly where they stand. This business of reporting within 24 hours arrival if you are on a retirement visa, that's even if you go to the next province for a weeks holiday. Come on... we live here, we spend all our money here, you have our home address, phone numbers etc. most of us are retired and happy here.... no need to put us on a leash like we're dogs.

AlexRich Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I watched a video on YT by a guy called Bangkok 112, it was set in Walking Street about a week or so ago. There's a bar on that street where normally you will see many African ladies, which was completely empty ... I did wonder whether the police had rounded them up and shipped them home?
