Aditi Sharma Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) REFORM SHEET Tourist visas must be made free for everybody but charge for extension. 1st extension - 50 dollars, 2nd extension 100 dollars. Freeze it at 100 dollars. Abolish visa runs, consider it an extension if done within a period of 30 days and charge as above. REWARD POINTS FOR EVERY VISA EXTENSION. After accumulating a certain number of points, they can be utilized for purchasing merchandise from Immigration like Thai Immigration mugs, tshirts, pens, caps etc. ( Badges as well). champers would like: abolition of 90 day reporting for those with a retirement extension on their visa AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFIED FOR THAI CITZENSHIP WITHOUT INTERVIEW TO ANYBODY MARRYING THAI NATIONAL. CONFIRMATION OF CITIZENSHIP ONLY WHEN YOU RENOUNCE YOUR EXISTING CITIZENSHIP WITHIN 30 DAYS OTHERWISE THE AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION LAPSES. CREATION OF A FREE THAI FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE. The Thai Friendship Circle to comprise the countries that are used for visa runs, ie, Myanmar Laos Vietnam Cambodia and Malaysia Tourist visa -free, of course, acquired in any of the countries of Thailand Myanmar Laos Vietnam Cambodia and Malaysia entitles you to free movement in the circle for the period of 30 days ,(. during the currency of your visa). Pretty much like a Schengen visa. You can opt for the 1st extension costing 50 dollars, 2nd extension costing 100 dollars and so on in any country. The country where you do the extension gets to keep the money. Rc2707 would like: Alien. Have them refer to other nationalities with the right term please. Tourists may be referred to as vistors/guests, those on employment visas as workers/professionals, others may be referred to as residents. WE NEED THE IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTRE to be rechristened to OVERSTAY CENTRE. All those on overstay should be made to do community service before deportation. Work without pay but food and shelter provided at the centre until such time as your earnings do not pay for your flight out of the country. All Overstayers may be taken from the Overstay Centre ( formerly the Immigration Detention Centre) by bus to their place of work. They may be asked to do 12 hour shifts without pay. They may be informed about their earnings. When their earnings equal the cost of a ticket they may be deported. All Overstayers may be taken from their places of work to the Overstay Centre by bus. Overstayers may expect to be asked to work wherever the Immigration Department decides to at a fixed hourly rate. Including cleaning toilets up to a certain standard.

Aditi Sharma Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Free Work Permit with your Tourist Visa. If you have a set of employable skills, while you are applying for your Free Tourst Visa you may inform your embassy/consulate about it and they will give you your free work permit which will be valid during your visa. The work permit will be optional and subject to qualification decided by the embassy/consulate. Work permit on arrival not available. Edited October 2, 2017 by Aditi Sharma correction.

I have also live here for years, maybe longer than you and I have lived in other countries around the world. Unfortunately you may not like what I say but it is a fact. Good luck with your demands but to be honest I can not see them being considered by those that would consider a proposal No concept of the real world?

saakura Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Hello Aditi, i have a few suggestions : Welcome drink and jasmine garland on arrival, free transport to a central downtown location, special or at least same benefits for husbands of ladyboys, free 30 mins massage while waiting for departing flight. Remove the requirement to show 20k baht in cash and accept credit card or other evidence. Edited October 2, 2017 by saakura 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aditi Sharma Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) 9 minutes ago, saakura said: What about tourists who do not come on package tours, i thought you are helping out everybody? Sir under the reform programme, the visas would be free. If anybody in the group wants to stay back they can apply for an extension of tourist visa. For the first extension $50, and for all extensions after that $100. For a period of 30 days. You even accumulate points on every visa extension which you can redeem for immigration merchandise like mugs caps badges etc. It will be your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient funds.

I am not the actress. You flatter me kindly. Would you like to contribute an idea or suggestion and become a part of my reform campaign whether it achieves anything in reality or not. At least wouldn't you like to express your ideas on what changes you would have liked to have seen implemented?? Where is that more appropriate forum to share such ideas??
