robblok Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Wow I thought that a 5 year ban would only be done if you had overstayed a lot more then 103 days. I guess I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsonandson Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Quote - A French woman was deported out of country yesterday after we found her while she was riding a horse at 7:30pm on Dec 21. 7.30 at night, immigration police are working in Phuket. After looking through Cathy's facebook page with list of influencial figures from phuket as friends of hers. I would suggest that maybe she has rubbed someone the wrong way. I've heard many rumours whilst being over here that if you peev off the wrong person this very thing can happen. Oh and by the way this works both ways. If you help the right person a mistake can be overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas du problem. I'm not so sure that works. I know a German guy who was deported years ago for a Work Permit violation. Was a life ban. I know that he has tried to re-enter Thailand as he has strong links here. Refused twice even with a changed name (legal name change in Germany) ... refused ...

Or is there another reason why immigration police or employment office should be on the lookout for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rot and an ill informed guess unless you know exactly how each one of these 'thousands' would spend their money individually. If this lass was, for example, providing for a beach bum boyfriend and his family who now see their cash cow/income source removed for five years, I'd say that might have an impact on the economy no matter how small.

A1Str8 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Amazing how there are always some well intentioned individuals who consider it very important to keep an eye on people and their visa so they can report a possible overstay. Clearly, that's how they found her too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
