  1. I think thats a significant improvement in the right direction now the sixty day reporting should be eliminated for their convenience, I dont think its a good Idea to have visitors leave the country your trying to get them to spend their money in. In an Ideal Immigration policy a year visa with no reporting should be available to visitors so they can but properties with very little risk and interference From Immigration police. A truly ideal situation would be no visa no real reason for one nowdays with high speed internet and electronic Passports. Pretty out dated system ....Just sayin

    Reporting another scam to get Baht

  2. Amazing all the comments, and mainly they are coming NOT from genuine tourists, but from long stay individuals

    Immigration needs to define tourist, and exclude long stays from using it

    There are retirement and marriage visa extensions

    There are working visa for school teachers etc

    There is the Investment visa

    There is the elite card

    You can choose from quite a generous list but long stay should not be using tourist

    Thai Immigration needs to completely drop the word 'Tourist' from any visa classifications. It is arcane and in this day and age, totally redundant. Most countries subscribe to a non-immigrant "Visitor" visa and sub-categories for business, investor, education, work, etc.. Clinging to this 'Tourist' label shows how myopic their whole view on the rapidly changing, totally dynamic nature of international travel and migration.

    It would also serve to shut down the noisome debates that erupt frequently on TV between the pontifical over-50's that qualify for some form of domicile here and the younger, more mobile traveler, squatter, digital pikey, who can't retire, don't want to get married, invest or pay taxes, etc..

    You must be a promoter lol[/quote

    Elite card another nice scam

  4. To put this in perspective, would you ride in the back of a truck with15 other people in the UK, US or any other country? Would you ride on the back of a motorbike with no crash helmet? Of course not, so why do it here????

    You have a duty of care to protect your own life. Don't relinquish this because you are in a third world country.

    Perspective? The only perspective you need to understand is that the victims in this story were Thai. And ... the subject is the low fine levied on the transport company.

    Makes no difference you must be racist they were humans killed for 7000 baht

    That <deleted> should be doing 20 years

  5. "We have to prevent problems in advance because we cannot adopt an international election format, as we have to think in the context of our country"

    Thailand is different from all other countries ... Thai people do not own their sovereignty and are not allowed self-determination. They must be guided into an electoral process that is flawed even before it's completely drafted. Historical context of the nation says that when Thai people begin to assert their sovereignty, the military asserts its independent sovereignty over the Thai people.

    Simple to understand where the CDC is heading ... again - adherence to the NCPO agenda.

    Correct tender son excellent summary

    They are corrupt to the core and he is trying to swindle the votes

    He will loose and come unstuck

  6. I like this news! This means that if I stop working I can go to Mae Sot every 2 months and just re-enter instead of trying to get an extension at the immigration checkpoint!

    Those who work at the border are nice but the ladies in the office are just nasty and makes their own rules:

    No extension of tourist visa unless you live in Tak or Sukhothai province. Last time I went there having a tourist visa they refused to extend it as I lived in Kamphaeng Phet at that time, I had to go to a funeral in Mera Mat so I was passing Mae Sot on my way.

    No flexibility. They refused to extend my non-b visa based on that my TOEIC exam was 25 month old. So I went to Phitsanulok which is even wrong immigration checkpoint (live in Sukhothai) and they gave me the extension with no problem!

    Yes immigration offices are rude and not know there own jobs... I avoid them like a virus
