Who else other than other 15 year olds would want to have a relationship with another 15 year old? I have 2 15 year olds and they're definitely not interested in sex or even relationships for that matter!

Your points are moot. It matters not a jot what I sign on any document when I do my applications. This is not about me, nor about the overstay rules per se. Your post contributes nothing meaninful or useful to the conversation.

*you're. No -you're a bit mixed up I think. He was offered a job opportunity, but upon accepting the offer (before contract) he revealed he was 7 months overtaying on his passport. The company has not yet emploed him and of course would not do if he is on overstay.

Just to be clear - this is not me - Im a long term resident with a recognizable business and large family - I've been here for nearly 20 years. Who it is in relation to me is of no consequence. I myself was surprised at the 20K amount - which is simply the max fine for overstay. I told him that he better have some serious moola to cover the officer who woudl fix it -but I should think that fixing that kind of hting is rather more risky or difficult that simply granting visas.... His actual passport stamps will be way out of whack and going forward - any re-entry into the country with a 7 month overstay clearly visible on a passport would surely raise eyebrows with any immigration officer.

Greetings and for any help and good perspective and advice, I thank you in advance. A friend of a friend has just informed me that on the offer of a job and relication to BKK, that they have overstayed and been living in Phuket for 7 months on overstay. They have suggested that they know a thai guy in Phuket who will speak to immigration for them and all he will have to do is pay the 20K fine and all should be well. I'd say 7 months is a seriously long time and how likely is it that they will turn a blind eye to it? Ive lived in thailand for 16 years and have only ever over-stayed by a couple days. Usually thats not taken seriously and you just pay the fine. 7 months seems a bit robust....? Is it really likely that they'll turn a blind eye or he'll be turfed out..?

Lock him up and throw away the key.
