Popular Post ubonjoe Posted April 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2019 If you cannot but a ticket out of the country after being deported you will stay in detention until you can buy it. If deported for an overstay the fine would be paid off at 200 baht a day while in detention. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It's not just money that is a problem, it's also flight routes and airlines. If the airline is not from your home country, they can refuse to take the over-stayer. Airlines from your own country must take you, they cannot refuse. But, if there is no direct flight from Thailand to your home country and you have to make a stop in another country, permission must be given by that country. I was in IDC for two days and one night (long story) in 2002 and wasn't deported, but, several of the occupants in the same cell as me, had been there for multiple years, the longest stay inmate was four years. The problem was either no funds, or, they couldn't arrange the flight. The long-stayers in IDC were mostly Africans and Iranians.

thaibreaker Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Indeed they will be held until someone coming up with the funds. Not the embassies (only the US embassy are handing out loans as far as I know), but either the inmate himself or friends, arranged through the embassies if necessary. Longest overstayer during my time there, had been locked up for 14 years, a korean guy. Several with more than 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BritTim Posted April 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2019 Most responding to this thread no doubt know this, but it is important to distinguish between two completely different cases: Denied Entry where immigration refuses to let you enter Thailand. In that situation the airline that brought you to Thailand is responsible for your removal. The airline must do this even if you cannot pay. Arrest and Deportation where you were allowed to enter Thailand, subsequently found to have broken the law, and are placed in the Immigration Detention Centre pending deportation. In this case, all costs for deportation must be borne by the deportee, and you will remain in detention until you can pay. It is complicated further by the fact that airlines are usually not obliged to carry deportees (even if you can purchase a ticket) and they will generally resist doing so. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post balo Posted April 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Yes I would definetely recommend a GoFundme page. That should do the trick, ask strangers to get you out of that terrible place. Just make sure to mention there are cannibals and rapists in there to get the donations going.

thaibreaker Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Without access to internet or phone, one might have a problem contacting anyone. The embassy guy/gal usually shows up in a few days, but in my case that took 9 days. I kid you not. Funny post about cannibals, but if you get through the first fine before a judge, and the following 3-6000 bath payment, you will end up in a room of mainly overstayers. Even if those brits may seem as cannibals, I think they are okey enough ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutty Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 people in glass houses eh ? someone who is months overstay - late , complaining about a government official who is a few days late . nice .

Normal you left Thai 'space' after the border at the airport, eg. the stamp in your passport says you left on that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Seems Thailand creates self-inflicted costs and image wounds by not deporting IDC detainees who can't pay after X-amount of time like say 1 year.....some sufficiently long enough time to ensure the detainee will definitely try to round-up the required funds if at all possible as year in 3rd world detention should convince most anyone to come up with the money if at all possible. Then again, if they are just going to be shipped back to their 3rd world country which is no better or worst than detention in Thailand then maybe some would just rather set in Thai jail hoping for a get-out-of-jail-free card. And I'm sure there are some who would rather rot in a Thai jail than go back to their home country....that's where Thailand really starts self-inflicting wounds by not shipping them out. There are always going to be people who simply can't pay....no funds....no family...no friends....no home country embassy support....etc. A life sentence in IDC because a person is destitute for funds just isn't right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A further search I indeed do see results with the immigrations. Is it just a term, generated by the public, instead of being a real abbrevication of names?

Snow Leopard Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I know with a little experience (Brit) I have had that the Embassy can pay and someone stands as a guarantor in the UK. Effectively a loan. They also take your passport off you until the bill is paid. Not sure if this is still the case though. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/expat-money/10820465/Down-and-out-abroad-There-are-places-to-turn.html I am not a big fan of the Telegraph but a well put and quite an apt comment in this article and can be used frequently in my opinion on the TVF.

Wiki, the article: " He died on 6 August 2006 of massive organ failure a few days after being imprisoned in Klong Prem Central Prison in Bangkok on charges of suspicion of illegally altering a visa " A report, not on the wiki but you can find the link in the footer of the wiki page " he died earlier this month at the hospital unit of the squalid Klongprem Central Prison in Thailand. " This prision houses the TDC, Thai Department of Corrections. The IDC is somewhere else. Edited April 16, 2019 by donim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
