All TM6 data goes into a computer. Why can't they press a button each morning and the computer comes up with a list of new over-stayers. Matching arrival with departure cards. Each TM6 has an address. Check them out.

If they can't find that person, they're added to the over-stayers list that when caught, they'll be black-listed.

It really shouldn't be hard in this day and age.

Not a valid reflection on BJ's claim at all.

 

Go back and see if the 16 k gate pass is still available on 1st December.

They absolutely must be doing that! How else can Big Joke know now there's exactly only 500 overstayers?

And then those who are somewhat discomfited by the sight of hordes of Immi cops crashing hotel receptions, condo offices and various gated communities in a three-times-daily smash and farang grab will start whining.

 

The resultant bandwidth suck on TV alone would probably crash the whole world wide interweb thingmie.

Quite sure he actually did this someone would shoot him - and it end up a member of his extended staff

Well, they got the doggy-fiddlers, on right on the 31st, so hats off to the Immigration Dog Squad! 

Why is he boasting about completed successes before they have happened.....like GWBush's 'mission accomplished' poster. 

We know there is still corruption in immigration because agents exist and make pay offs....while they are in business there is corruption.

Immigration corruption over.

 

This has to be a big joke.

Does he seriously expect us to believe he paid nothing for his position?

There is technically nothing illegal about it.

You can legally borrow money from anyone.

An immigration officer can legally waive the seasoning period. It's at his discretion.

So......where's the illegal act?

 legally waive the police order (law) for a fee

 

nothing illegal about that - right ?

So the IO's who are face to face with the public and have just had their monthly 'income' reduced by XXXX baht will be 'smiley happy people' and will not cause any inconvenience to their 'customers'.  Or..... they will work to rule and all immigration procedures will be long, drawn out affairs that will cause great inconvenience to their 'customers'.   Which way will it go?

Is this the same as when it was declared Iran had a homosexual population of "0". 

I am 174% certain that all the figures quoted are entirely accurate.

So the land border crossings will no longer mean a "tip" to the officer before returning for your 90 day stamp?? Perhaps he should set up a hotline to report officers who haven't heard the news about corruption at the borders !

aren't they verified at source?

What about all of the tea money blackmailed out of the business owners if they are caught cleaning their pool table, moving furniture or even helping their staff with closing shutters?

 

Everything changes and everything stays the same.

A week ago he said he would arrest 7,000 more by the end of this month. News on it suggests he is still way short of that mark. I also haven't seen reports of 99,500 over-stayers caught so far. Sounds like another story with numbers and facts plucked right out of thin air, and with promises worth zero.

Most of them need a calculator to subtract 2 from 10 so not much hope of the sums being correct in this case!

If anyone is unduly distressed by having to pay to get a Residence Certificate the same day because they don't want to wait 2-3 days to get it for free

4 weeks in Chiang Mai - I've just picked one up.  Haven't heard from anyone applying for one in the last few days, so perhaps it's improved.  The office hours certainly have - 6am to 8pm now.

 

As an aside, last time I got one it was 2 weeks; not about 2 weeks, they told you to come back in 14 days.  This time I got a slip to return in 30 days at 5pm when I declined the 'express service'.  Perhaps there weren't enough people willing to pay for the sake of 2 weeks, but whatever the reason for it, it has doubled.

 

 

Yawn. Another big mouth dog that’s all bark and no bite. They rounded up a handful of people of color, that’s it.

 

All of this is nothing more than the new guy letting everyone know who’s pockets to fill now. Typical Thai power move that happens anytime a “big boss” is replaced. Corruption is in their DNA.

Really? ????

 

Rates alongside "there will be no flooding in Bangkok". Mmm....

If anyone is unduly distressed by having to pay to get a Residence Certificate the same day because they don't want to wait 2-3 days to get it for free - you can submit a complaint to Immigration and tell them you think what they are doing is illegal and see what happens.

Here - I'll even give you the link to the Immigration Bureau's Contact Form:
https://www.immigration.go.th/contact_form

(Awhile ago - many years now in fact - they started charging a small fee to have the Certificate completed and ready for pick up the next morning. Then the fee went up and you could get it the same day. Then the fee went up again and you could get it within a few minutes.)

I think you can still get it for free though - if you are willing to wait 3-4 days that is. Would be interesting to see what they would say if someone tried that.

And if you ever needed a resident certificate in a European country you will laugh about the fee of only 500 THB...

the banks don't falsify anything, what on earth are you talking about

 

get your facts right before posting this utter nonsense 

Looking at Big Jokes latest claims as total BS as we can verify his claims amongst ourselves and not believe the media hype.  Does this mean all his previous claims that we have been excited about "Cleaning  up the country" been total BS all along??? All those media statistics of his changes been fake all along and is the jig up?
