Not sure the way to which you refer. I am sure the rich do not look to the poor to show them the way to a financially secure life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need some help understanding the graphic, please let me know, I do love helping the mentally changed. Apart from your arrogant and condescending post, (And by the way:- "I do love helping the "mentally changed" should read "mentally challenged, if you want to be so critically correct!) I think that the above applies to overstayers of more than one day- possibly 90 days, as per:- https://tratimmigration.com/thailand-visa-overstay-regulations/.(Although it does say "Period of Overstay of less than 1 year" and if "arrested and prosecuted" could result in a ban of 5 years) However, I don't think I have ever heard of anyone being arrested and prosecuted for a 1 day overstay! I think that option may be used in the case of criminal activity etc.but for the most part:- https://tratimmigration.com/thailand-visa-overstay-regulations/ If you overstay for a short period you will have to pay a fine. However, if you overstay for more than 90 days then it is a serious offence and the result will be you are deported from Thailand and banned from visiting again. The length of the ban depends on how long you have overstayed your visa. Edited October 30, 2018 by sambum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another bitter old expat who thinks he knows everything. If you are caught -that is arrested on any overstay, 1 day or 100 days, you're getting banned. Cry over beer if you have to, it's a fact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARK74 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The fella overstayed so is getting blacklisted, fair enough. But it's not enough! I think he needs his face and passport details shared on Thai news because I am sure the people of Thailand give a shit about such a heinous crime and just to round it off a good bashing from all the fine upstanding perfect TVF angels. That'll teach the monster ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Maybe I'm naive or stupid, both are possibilities. But I totally get why someone would want to move to Thailand, if they feel they can better use their cash to achieve a better lifestyle than they could at home. But to move to live in a tin shack, versus some project housing at home. I just don't get that....well of course, there is always the sex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also be that the only option is a shackle home - home or away.... If so, its not difficult to understand that a Thai shackle home is the preferred one...

The problem that I see is; what will they do when they have eventually kicked everyone out. The wannabe hippies and the old fart brigade and the wannabe intelligence services groupies. The sex tourists and the gunjah afficionados. Just what will they do for a dollar then? Get a job like normal ppl ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly looking over you shoulder and freeze whenever police is around,.. small steps and life could be so much better,.. well well,.. Can be pretty tough being on the run. No real job, no real money. I fully understand wanting to stay and hang out in Thailand. I sure wanted to after my first few trips. But I had the sense to realize I could not afford to stay there at that time. And I actually had some decent engineering work back in the states to return to which actually interested me. Now at 61 I can afford to do whatever I want. Sure could have been different if I had punched out and just started spending my assets and money instead of working and saving and investing. Can be hard to make the smart choice sometimes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he should not have overstayed, but that is no reason to publish these documents. Someone at Thai Visa should read and learn about GDPR. Since when have the EU GDPR regulations applied to Thailand? Perhaps you should read and learn about GDPR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sympathy from me Jail time? hes no threat to anyone and he hasnt broken any laws so to speak, to take away a mans freedom simply for not sorting his visa is way too far. Fine him, ban him for a few years too, not 10. He has probably made a life here, why he didnt get it sorted actually probably means hes broke. he can go home, get a job, save hard and come back. I still think 10 years is too much considering he hasnt actually broken any laws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why so many posters seem to take personal offense if an expat has overstayed. After all, it's not like he emptied someone's bank account, or stole their car.
