Instead he choose to overstay , he must be hiding from something, good they caught him. Good guys in , bad guys out. Maybe he was skint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have some delight in knowing that you don't have a say in deciding which laws are OK to break. Here's another overstayed Brit who thinks the laws don't apply to her.

gk10002000 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 well, many foreigners (caucasians, dark skinned africans) do stand out in a crowd from the average Thai people. So legal or not, annoying or not, when in Thailand, be prepared to show proper documentation. I personally would not think that trying to hide out there is a good idea, unless one had really really good fake ID and other paper work stuff that might pass simple casual visual inspection. That's fine with me. I follow the rules and did my visas properly, so I don't mind seeing scammers and sneaks getting on and not paying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fak119 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Next thing would be to stop the business of those Visa agents that provide Retirement Visas "without necessary funds"! But then, what when even THAI VISA accepts ads from these agents...? Let's see, how long this post will be available, the first time it was "killed" after two days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you manage to spend nearly a 1000 Baht a week on visas ?
