Visa

[mr_lob]

A friend has overstayed his visa by about 8 months (this ain't me, it really is a mate)....anyone got any ideas of what he can expect when leaving don muang? I reckon he will go in immigration nick....

He will have to pay the maximum fine, 20,000 baht at the airport.

If he gets caught before, he will end up in jail, and be deported.

Had a TV documentary on this not long in UK.One guy still in prison after 6 months as he had no money and no family in UK to send him any. Make sure he has the cash!

thats what a few of us have been saying....he has turned into a right w**ker since he ran out of money...there are some really desperate falangs in LOS.

It baffles me why these guys just dont go home for a few months get their head down , do a bit of graft and then come back poked up......LOS aint going anywhere (although the GF might )

Edit..for our American members,

Graft............to work

Poked up...........to have money.

absolutely...i knew one guy in samui who ripped off a bank by taking a loan out and pissing off....the money soon ran out and he had to return to the UK...they soon caught up with him. Now thats more of a Thai way of thinking he had there 'i've got money today, so i'll spend it. don't give a toss about tomorrow'

Thanks for that, Thaiflyer...

Still hoping the mods can start that pinned topic or separate link on "international language sayings" or some such title.

Interesting bit about graft... Do Brits also use it as Americans in the direct sense that it's "bad money" or meaning the money was obtained by corruption?

poked up close to stoked up... which I've heard in America.

as for the subject of this thread... best of luck to ya, guy. Hope things go ok and yes... go get poked up before returning again.

No .... "graft" is perfectly acceptable as an alternate for "legit" work..........although it is normally used when refering to manual labour.

[sriracha john]

Hmmm... interesting. Thanks again, Thaiflyer.

TV is such an informative and educational forum...

The 20 grand and the airticket out is a must. Don't delay. The detention centre is the pits.

Why? Isnt't it a legitimate revenge for all the farang buffalows who pay everything for their bargirl?

At least a girl is paying for her guy!

How do you consciously overstay a Visa by 8 months

To risk detention and possible black-listing is just retarded.

Maybe there's some issue that makes him reluctant to return home ?

I'd assume he has a ticket as most international haulers don't sell one-ways, could be wrong.
