Norwegian man arrested on Samui Island for 15 days of overstay
Liverpool Lou replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
"Normal" agents do not provide Elite visas, only Thailand Privilege Card authorised representatives can provide them and, if he had the required funds and no previous record of overstay, he wouldn't need an agent. I suppose that if he was liquid enough for an Elite visa he could soon be enjoying a negotiated release. -

Any reason that a 10-day overstayer should have been allowed to remain here illegally if there hadn't been a "computer error"? -

He's not harming anyone but one doesn't have to harm others to commit criminal offences. In isolation, a 15-day overstay does just as much harm as a 1,500-day overstay. -

What was the "scam" that he thinks he fell victim to? Did he pay an agent for an extension or change of visa? What is happening to him now, detention, deportation, court, maybe a deal? -

Maybe he can't read the permission to stay date clearly stamped in his passport? If he had bothered to read it he would not even have been on a one-day overstay! -

He wouldn't have to pay "triple price air fare" if he had been here legally. -

You seriously think that those foreigners with no permission to be here, regardless of the length of time, should not be arrested and dealt with? What do think should happen to them when discovered, told "Tut, tut, overstay, never mind, off you go" so that there would be no need for anyone to ever get a visa/extension? Perhaps your rationalisation is that those on overstay should be left alone with no consequences and those legal foreigners who do renew their extensions should just have to get on with it? -

No one is assumed guilty, but, yes, the police do have the right to ask any foreigner to produce his permission to stay but, having said that, the latter is very likely to be the case if the IB's systems didn't let them know. -

"Unnecessary unfortunate start on his plan to migrate here". Absolutely. He actually ducked himself over by overstaying, no way he could have made that situation into a long stay on his own. And it doesn't make any difference who, if anyone, blew the whistle on him, an overstay is an overstay if there's no agent involved. -

Are you suggesting that there's something wrong with upholding the law? -

Who's got 1.5m posts and what does "ad nausea" [sic, ironically] mean? Gratuitous over-exaggeration, ad nauseam. -

You're lying, you have not been arrested for giving away old clothes. -

Absolutely right it's unfair, he has no right to have any overstay at all, unfair to the rest of us. -

Nah, you joined on 1 April 2021 (which you would probably have us think is pure coincidence!) and are well on course to break the 10,000 posts barrier by Christmas this year. And? You're point is what? As I said before, it's distressingly sad that you bother to keep stats on my membership and my posts here. Are you doing that with other members also?

Bank and passport check
Liverpool Lou replied to Mino's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They don't have to know anything about types of visa, all they need to see is the extension of stay expiry date and that's easy to check. -
Bank and passport check
Liverpool Lou replied to Mino's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When they copy the passport they also check the visa, they've been doing it for years. The passport has to be valid and, for a foreigner making a banking transaction, if the visa isn't valid, neither is the passport. -
Beware of a "nameless" car stereo dealer
Liverpool Lou replied to bubblegum's topic in General Topics
No trader was named here, apparently, and the claim was made anonymously on a third party forum that can provide no contact details apart from a throwaway email address so how does the trader get in touch with him, never mind take him to court? -
"...that is why many do not bother with E Bay". The other many millions continue to use eBay with no problems.
