Well one reason, I just did that yesterday!. ..... And because immigration make a lot of good money out of this. You heard of the analogy don't kill the goose! But cheapskates avoiding doing their Extensions or not having the right Visa... go get them! Those cheating with nonsense ED Visas... go get them! Those not having the 800k...(not me by the way), they pay an agent, immigration get a payment, someone signs off on it. Is it really illegal.?.. I am told not. An overstayer, blatantly illegal!

About time too.... but presumably a change of address would need to be reported via TM30 system promptly?

Well fine, so what are you proposing, Thailand becomes the haven for the world's poor?

If they have money, then a legitimate way of living here is open to them. A pension, old enough for marriage or retirement extension! Younger but have rental income or wealthy, try an Elite Visa or get married. It isn't about Thai government officials legitimately owning a particular brand of car. What is important to you is not what governs Thailand's efforts, you, like me, are simply a guest, not some superior foreign advisor! I would welcome some longer term alternative to my annual renewal, I fear for those getting too infirmed to achieve this, but it is far from difficult. Pointing at other issues is distraction....

If one stays in the kingdom over 90 days one has to report, what Visa do you believe makes this unnecessary?

So the experiences you quoted are rather dated. I assure you online is quick and easy now... people complaining about having to do 90 day reports would take issue about lifting their foot for a step!

Possibly never were!

Who says they contribute... one has to presume they have reason not to renew their stays? No they do not need the extra few hundred dollars some foreign waster brings to the country. Traffic issues are completely different police department.....

No, why not simply do it online?

Online?

Paid 10k yesterday, as I am talentless it is another retirement extension for me. I will not be doing the immigration tap dance!

Squirrels..... keep getting jumped on by rabid squirrels from the multitudes of tangled cables at my gate! Yes, to ignore dogs and cats is plain stupid!

Assault and battery, manslaughter, something like that.

Nice to find exactly what you want sat in the sofa, rather than taking on traffic and rather dim shop assistants who simply say 'no hab' so they can get back to their phones!

I suspect it should have nothing to do with Covid, as per the topic. You need to expand your rather limited horizons!

Well one can hardly expect Thailand to do it when European Countries appear to be accepting them.

Well he is back fully feathered.

Someone posted they got one at Pattaya City Hospital free Pfizer, a week or so ago. Go in the morning.

Right, so until it does, what is the fuss about?

They are the ones they can do something about!

He is not out to win friends and influence people... he seems committed and achieves results.

Don't tell us, tell the Thai authorities. Although why they should care escapes me. It is something that takes me a whole minute, hardly onerous. Perhaps they see a need tor a tighter rein than 11 months?

The experience to confirm, I do not have, thankfully.

Yeah we heard something like this before, still not shut of him!

Err, I don't believe dogs caught Covid so struggle to see the link you make.
