Popular Post moe666 Posted June 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2018 His first mistake was over stay then getting it fixed with a dodgy agent. His biggest mistake was posting the crime here. Not to bright I must say. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post notamember Posted June 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2018 if its true, he is a fool for posting about it on here He should think that he was lucky to get the right agent to do the work Lucky not to lose the fee to an unscrupulous agent Also he risked being informed upon ,arrested and then deported That would increase the agents standing with immigratrion It would also stop him wanting his money back from the agent If senior immigration officials read his post then they may well have to clamp down on it and other more sensible and needy applicants may lose the chance to do the same thing as he did Immigration might note how much agents are asking their clients for the service and put their prices up, so good job Tomatocop, you have been a great help to all 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 2 hours ago, ubonjoe said: I would guess he had a new blank passport with no stamps in it. Then that new passport left the country without being stamped, then it entered another country and returned to Thailand with a new entry stamp being done. That's also what i would expect Including deleting the record from 12 years ago when he entered the last time. So officially he was't in Thailand the last 12 years and just arrived. If this is all true (the agent could just have given him fake stamps) will be revealed when OP leaves the country the next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IO’s involved don’t need to delete anything. They will stamp out the person as usual at which point the original entry is closed. 16 minutes ago, jackdd said: 25 minutes ago, notamember said: the 20,000 baht overstay is paid on exit no ban is issued Would theoretically be possible, but i have the impression that a ban is mandatory if it's more then 90 days, no idea if an IO can waive the ban Part of the fee paid to the agent would have gone towards paying the 20K overstay fine. Bans are not mandatory (automatic) and can be waived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliebadenhop Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 If someone overstays, and they don't have enough money to live on without working, doesn't that mean that they would need to be working illegally or perhaps bankrolling a business that they get monthly benefits from? I am just trying to make sense out of how and why a person can fly under the radar for so long. If one had enough money to live on for so long, or enough money to bankroll a business, it seems to me that getting a proper visa would be the best thing to do, and the OP wound up paying a lot of money to get this fixed.... so the whole scenario is hard for me to imagine. Since traffic accidents are not uncommon here, it seems that just one traffic accident with the OP driving could have led to a very bad situation. ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGIR Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I just had a new passport issued last month. This is the second one I've had. In both cases the local immigration office took both passports and transferred all my data from when I first entered Thailand and transferred it into the new passport. I don't see how that process could be done in the instance of the original poster. Doesn't he have to have 90 day stamps and annual visits to immigration? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted June 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2018 This topic closed to avoid additional off topic and inflammatory posts. Enough is Enough. If the OP requests it be reopened it can be done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
