It sickens me when I see the ruthless immigration rules of Thailand.
While in 'my' country (France), we open Foreigners with welcome arms.
"Bad guys included".
My Thai Wife easily obtained a 10 years "visa".
Got herself a card (Carte Vitale™) allowing her free medical treatment everywhere in France.
Getting paid and lodged by the government in case of non-employment.
And so much more...
While Thailand is on the chase of the "bad overstayers" that didn't get their stupid stamp...
