Yeah, but you're only supposed to use those for certain very serious offences and they have very little to do with 'red notices' which are merely a list of wanted people who commit very serious crimes. this guy is wanted for assault and illegal ammunition - something negligible. Maybe he beat a load of people half to death - that's assault I guess or maybe he knocked out a mugger, I guess we will never know. Extradition is expensive and involves a whole army of lawyers and civil servants on both sides, it's not supposed to be used for minor crimes. Maybe this guy is a mafia kingpin and perhaps they're lying about the seriousness of the charges, who knows, but it sounds like this red notice which is nothing to do with the so called extradition (which is not going to be an extradition as he has no valid visa) was issued frivolously. My guess is that his visa ran out, he popped up on the local immigration offices weekly print out of foreigners with expired visas in their area - then they noticed this 'red notice' and the rest is all free publicicty.

Interesting that the 'red notice' was issued for 'assault' and something about posession of illegal ammunition. Lets look into 'red notices', what they are and under which circumstances that they are normally used : So murder, rape, child abuse / armed robbery - all very serious crimes which deserve the full force of the law being applied. I don't see 'assault' or illegal posession of ammunition mentionted though. these would appear to be minor crimes and the Polish government have a history of using everything in their power to enforce and extradite based on the most trivial of offences - more about that later. Something is wrong here. Poland are abusing the red notice system based on what I've read so far. Here's another quote : Source for quotes, Interpol themselves : https://www.interpol.int/How-we-work/Notices/About-Red-Notices I post this because the Polish justice system is well known for abusing similar extradition processes between EU countries whilst the UK was in the EU there were many extradition requests for Polish Nationals for the most minor and petty offences you could imagine - like unpaid parking tickets for example. Anyway - his visa was cancelled so they're kicking him out. End of story.

If I ever move to the US I'll take this under consideration ????

Wrong. I've never recommended that anyone buy any crypto, quite the opposite, I've discouraged them at times. So not all people and definitely not always.

Well he certainly tried to remain in Thailand (in prison) as long as possible whilst fighting extradition to the US. So that would have been his choice I suspect but the Thai authorities appear to have been taking orders from the US government.

Putin gets his buddy back then. Also he's apparently served plenty of his 25 year sentence already having been arrested in Thailand in 2008, that's 14 years ago.

There's no way they're not watching it - all of them.

Having watched the video with the car sitting there waiting at first, they appear to have waited until about 2, perhaps 3 seconds before the train with full lights turned on was very near before driving in front of it. Did the driver look at all? Because if they did look then this wasn't an accident.

This system will decimate the number of successful applications and either be cancelled or completely and urgently redesigned. If they redesign it - it will all happen again. My prediction - complete and utter failure of the whole thing and a reversal to paper applications inside the next 1 to 2 years after massive damage has been done.

Is this the same system which is so complicated to use that many give up and just come without a visa or have they upgraded it recently?

Meh ????

When compared to those driving it, the car has all the brains.

I saw some dude getting into one as I was leaving Market Village, Hua Hin one day last week. I guess he must have imported it ahead of the launch.

We are still 'during the pandemic' - it's not over, far from it.

Wrong. I have a 5 year visa.

Remember where we are......

It's not his job to set a good example. He should do whatever he wants. If I was sitting next to him wearing my mask and he wasn't wearing his then why should I care? After all the mask I'm wearing works, right?

We have something similar in the UK, it's the post code, narrows the delivery address down to a very small handful or addresses, then they just need to look at the house number or name.

Hmm, I have a Vois from about 9 years ago, can't see it on a list.

Did they ever put these into Toyotas?

This AML stuff is getting out of hand lately. I sent a wire to myself last week and I know it's been flagged for 'extra scrutiny' as it didn't arrive the next day like it normally does. How much did I send? Only about 100,000 Baht - it's pathetic. All in the name of AML / anti terrorist regulations - and this is money sitting in a private bank account, not cash. I hope countries with overzealous regulations really suffer from rejection internationally - it might teach them a lesson in the medium term.

All he would have to do is prove they're applying an illegal tax and operate a monopoly. That will take a lot of money but not billions. Other far smaller companies are already taking these 'app stores' on. Apple has become such a joke for people who write software lately, even more so than google.

My mother did hers online a few days ago, we filled out the forms online, it was free and there was no mention of any medical or eye test. It asked her if she required glasses for distance vision - which she doesn't so she answered no. I filled out the forms for her as she's not 100% on the internet these days - I did it for her over one of those remote control apps on her windows laptop. She's nearly 80. It hasn't arrived yet but it's only been like 3 days so far.

The first thing that popped into my mind is that this story looks to me like a setup by the press or some opponent who then either sold or passed it onto the press. That's how they do it in the west ????

A home visit is not part of the deal with a TE visa at all.
