Member of public calls immigration: Japanese pensioner whose Thai wife died found hiding on overstay

Phetchabun immigration utilised the now infamous BMW "Smart Car" to arrest a Japanese man living alone in the Wang Chomphu sub-district. 

 

Immigration were called in by a member of the public. 

 

They had been told by the informant that there was a person who looked like a foreigner who hardly ever went out of his house. They thought he might be a wanted criminal.

 

He was just minding his own business in his house, it all seemed very suspicious, the informant told immigration

 

The area was surrounded and the suspect was found alone. The onboard diagnostics in the smart car - notebook, tablet and internet connection to the immigration database - confirmed the worst. 

 

Japanese national Sadao T., 67, was on an eight year overstay of 3,027 days. His passport showed that he had entered Thailand on 21st November 2008 and his latest extension allowed him to remain in the kingdom until November 2011. (The media put 2021 but Thaivisa suggests that was a typo).

 

That was the last entry. 

 

Sadao explained that his Thai wife had died and after that he just lived alone in the house and never really went anywhere.

 

Naew Na's report showed little sympathy for the quiet pensioner living alone instead concentrating on the power of the smart car and the immigration operation involving many officers to bring about the arrest of an illegal foreigner by a "good Samaritan" under the ultimate auspices of the chief of immigration Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang.

 

They said that the old man from the "land of raw fish" would be deported and blacklisted for 10 years. 

 

They urged the public to keep calling 1178 to report infractions.

Maybe the deadly criminal of a naughty foreigner was subsisting; by taking on her identity I. E pension etc  and ignoring all else in the letterbox?

Thais should start creating youtube pages, calling immigration and filming old people in their houses....like the saying goes, "IF you can save one person, it's worth it".   If they call 10,000,000 times and catch one 90-year old farang......YES!!

 

That's why you take precautions over the COVID....to save one person.

 

oh wait

I really don't understand why Japanese would want to come to live long-term in Thailand because there are no racial discrimination, low crime rate, rich society, good weather, good food, good scenery etc in Japan.

 

I found a lot of Japanese can't even speak Thai. They would have trouble with the language, hot weather, spicy food etc.

 

He overstayed for 9 years? Where did he get his money from for his day-to-day living?

Because if he even had a small pension he can live very well in Thailand.

Weather, social contacts, massages, why does any foreigner live in Thailand?

 

He had years to transfer to an O, or O- A visa didn't bother and thus ran afoul of the LAW.

Thus I have no sympathy, not because it is some crime against humanity but the reason those of us who live legally have to endure increasing hassles and crackdowns. SAYONARA !
