Could make it a field day in any of the national parks, tourists will happily come from, no idea, and pay 500 Baht only to attend :D.

What are you smoking, TAT? ???? Good stuff!

Again, have a nice day Sir. ???? 

They actually look for volunteers at the immigration offices to help people do the right things. May this be something for you and to better all of us? ????

No farang was arrested, so where did you get that story from now?

Oh Yes, I would and I have done before. Just ask a lot of posters here and they will confirm how much I like overstayers. 

Man, you still don't get it, do you? It is not about the overstay but that he get reported for nothing by some BetterHuman for having a skin a bit darker than Isaan. Look up what "Denunziant" means. I wrote it now the 3rd time.

Your logic makes no sense when there have been numerous cases over the past few months of farang being reported to immigration for acting suspiciously and they were also arrested and found to be overstayers as is the case here. Nothing racist in the article at all 

Nothing to add here, just read the post above yours and then some.

First it seems like you deleted you thing you quoted. Really????

Nope, it fell under the local censorship, but you can still look it up. 

With such Thailand Understanders as yourself it does not really cause problems that the bank repossesed that smart BMW ????. They can rely on Denunzianten.

The guy was probably behaving in a way that people usually do when they need to hide and be invisible.

Thanks, you just confirmed it.

Is it racist to report a suspicious thing? Really??? I would love to have your fantasy, but I would hate to believe it so blindly as you do.

You don't get it, do you? He did not do a thing, he was reported by a BetterHuman because that BetterHuman did not like his face. I call this not only racist but a shame that Thailand Understanders like you try to talk it right. Which it is clearly not to <deleted> your fellow neighbors.

As I wrote before, that pretty much confirms that there will be no automatic extension anymore. Probably 30 days on application in person for 1900B.

What kept you out in the cold so long TAT? Inactive posts looming? ????

Ok, bit late but never too late for the party TAT. You guys shoud be the first and foremost to be fired if there is ever anything to be better to be implemented in this country.

Don't need to make this another 90 days discussion. If you don't trust it, go there, simple.

You sure?  Many of us who have been here some time can not as are not in the data base they use.

And when no receipt returned you still have to visit them.

 

Agree those that can do online (which is most people) should use that option as it is quick and normally easy.  Mailing is a bit more complex as have to make copies of everything and get stamps, print out return envelope and then mail registered or EMS and hope for the best.  But have had about 90% success so worth the effort.  

Keep the registration slip from the post office. That has the address of the immigration on it in case it get lost. Which is highly unlikely.

You can do it online from 15 days before due date and if this does not work send it by mail. No need to join the party at an immi office.

No, I wouldn't assume that. Could also be an amnesty but with the need to register yourself at your local immigration.

It will be an amnesty in any case, or however you would call this, as whatever comes out of this will not be a regular extension. I believe they will grant one more but based on application and payment of corresponding fees.

Since when is it possible to convert a visa exemption? Thats an exemption as the word says.

I'd expect them to offer perhaps another 30 days extension to finalize the amnesty and give people enough time to sort out their things.

Pretty much correlated to the high flying Baht, no surprise here. But besides that the costs for everyone have gone up significantly, not only for "expats and tourists". I don't see any end of this, the Baht will continue to remain high, if not even go higher as western currencies are printed out of thin air and get massively inflated.

Wow I did not know that hospitals in Thailand are close to bankrupt.

Sounds desperate.

Sounds like a lot of greed to me, easy money, milk the aliens.
