They face the usual problem faced by authorities around the world. People only become branded criminals once they've been convicted. It specifically states in the terms and conditions that anyone applying for the Thailand Elite visa is not eligible if they have been sentenced to 1 year or more in prison, unless it's for negligence in which case I guess they are eligible for the visa - which is a little odd. If the Chinese in question has been sentenced to more than 1 year and they find out about it they will revoke the membership and visa. Some of the biggest gangsters out there have a squeaky clean record.

They introduced a diversionary tactic by suggesting that there was some kind of electronic cigarette present. As far as I'm concerned they were digging their own grave at that point. Two wrongs don't make a right, if she had an e-cig then so what - nobody in nearly all the world cares about this. Why even mention it? If the Thai police find an e-cig they demand money, everyone knows that - and that's extortion unless it's an official fine - which I'm going to take a guess that it wasn't.

Not me, I never, ever go in the morning and I've been here for about 15 years (I think) so I've been many times over the years.

Give it 2 months and then lets look at it once the 'high season' is over. It will be a sorry tale of woe again.

Why do poor Thai people have cctv (in their bedroom)
ukrules replied to Peterw42's topic in General Topics
I don't have running drinking water, I just order 30 cases of Nestle every time I'm running low and use it for everything from coffee, cooking and just general water drinking. 30 cases = 1650 Baht - pocket change but a whole load of space taken up by the bottles when they arrive. -
Try buying a new colour laser printer, I checked with my local supplier and they have none available at all. Which is really odd.

Oh I think it is, I'm going to be very surprised if this ends up being less than 500 Baht per person if it's introduced.

2022/23 BKK CW Retirement Extension report

But you did provide bank statements. This kind of treatment is nonsense, that immigration officer should be fired for unprofessional behaviour. -
Australian Woman Runs Over and Kills Street Painter in Pattaya

So what happened with this case? -
I may be wrong but wasn't this supposed to be for airport arrivals only when it was first mentioned?

I don't know about different visa types or what type of visa this guy has but for the Thailand Elite visa they are quite specific on the application forms - if you've been sentenced to more than 1 year in prison for any crime other than negligence then you're not permitted to get the visa. I guess if you've been sentenced to less than 1 year in prison at any point in the past then it's no problem. However, there is no way they can check this as they don't require a 'police report' so you just sign the form which I guess is a legal declaration - I imagine if they later found out you had indeed done a decade or so in prison then they might kick you out and revoke the visa. I wonder if something similar happened here. Is there any similar kind of declaration for retirement or other types of visa?
