Do you really think that the Thai economy would collapse if the thousands of you left Thailand ? Some bars would close and the girls would have to get proper jobs, but, thats about the only effect it would have 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusincebu Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I agree, never had a problem with them and posted many "thumbs up" reports. I personally would have pushed back on the 90 shake down. That one is VERY clear. If you have the re-entry stamp dated, they have not a leg to stand on.When you come back into the country , do they put a new report date in your passport, or is it up to you to calculate the 90 day period ? ( just came back in last week, queried this with the immigration officer, he didn't seem to understand what I was asking, wanted to call over a supervisor , but there was a huge line waiting behind me , so I dropped it ..Sent from my SM-T535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Jomtien Immigration must be one of the best in the country. Having said that they will be closed tomorrow when I needed to re-new my Retirement extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to take a Photos (taken by a third party) piles of paperwork having to get a witness to accompany us to the office (because we don't have kids) are just a few of the reasons my missus sold up and I returned to blighty Sorry Thailand but I will spend my earnings elsewhere Edited May 13, 2018 by wobblyjohn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The rearrangement of the waiting area to accommodate the tm30 fleecing booth made the place feel like a detention center. They need bigger premises pronto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
