Pakistani on 1,239 day overstay tops the latest crackdown list

 

3_180704_0051-1024x682.jpg

 

The Thai Tourist Police Bureau have announced the latest results of their latest crackdown on illegal foreigners.

 

It was the 16th X-Ray Outlaw Foreigner swoop on miscreants masquerading as tourists.

 

In total 71 places were raided yielding 62 arrests.

 

Ten were on overstay comprising three each from Laos and India, two from Moldova and one each from Pakistan and Vietnam.

 

Rubeka Gill from Pakistan aged 25 topped the charts with a 1,239 day overstay. 

 

Forty three were deemed to be illegal entries with Laos and Cambodian nationals with 15 apiece.

 

Nine others were arrested six of whom were Thai. 

 

The arrests were led by crime buster extraordinary Pol Maj Gen Surachet Hakpal otherwise known affectionately as Big Joke. 

 

The TPB said the arrests were in line with government policy to safeguard the security and tourism of the kingdom.

I agree,  criminals and overstayers do not visit immigration to fill TM30 and 90 Days Reports, only honest expats and visitors do.

Some officers filling paperwork at Immigration Office would be better used on the street and at airports.

You should try to understand how Thais and excessive mountains of paperwork combine to keep near full employment in this economy.

TM 30 are filled in by landlords and property owners not aliens.

There is a few 'Happy Birthdays' in those 1239 days for Rubeka. Hope the boys baked him a cake.

 

They just got lucky. In Oz I have met a few that were over 3650 days overstay.

There are a few dubious old guys near me, they have been here longer than the dinosaurs! This guy is a mere spritling.

The heinous crimes the Jokester clears up is amazing nail them overstayers to a cross.  

The main article says that the Pakistani and Indian couple (I thought that they were meant to be killing each other?) also stole 15 Yuan in cash (74 Baht), but only 7 Yuan was recovered. Where on earth did they manage to change the missing 8 Yuan???

Come to CNX Immigration it is the opposite.

More great work for the Big Joke!!! Reel em' in and kick em' out!

Off topic posts removed. This topic is about overstayers in Thailand. It is not about the USA, the politics of the USA or the President of the USA.

It would be fun to run in to a bar and shout " Big Joke is in town

" just to see who would jump off of their bar stools and do a runner . I feel certain there are those that have spent their 400,000/800,000B and feel secure.

Not correct. I have to file my TM30 because my landlord is hardly ever in Thailand. It's a grey area with respect to who is responsible.

Too many religions in the world as it is.

She not he... 

An overstay may be illegal, a person is not.

So if they were Thais how can they be illegals? Weird don't you think

The European immigration police should come and do a little workshop in Thailand :smile:

I would not want to be caught as an old fella and get deported back to home country. A lot of "home" countries are hard to survive in especially if the reason you are in Thailand is that you have limited finances to live on.

After 30 years in Thailand I moved to the Philippines and just received my NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) clearance to apply for a five year Visa after waiting  three months after filling out forms and getting finger printed. How many expats in Thailand could get through a criminal check on their past to stay there??  A lot of expats should be thankful that the Thai Immigration does not demand this of long term stayers.
