EricTh Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Why do immigration need to sit in a luxurious BMW (pun intended) car to catch foreigners who overstay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nausea Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 You'd think they'd give it a rest given the current situation. Who cares about overstayers anymore, more important priorities. Lagging behind the times just a little bit. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s because you are lying, and do not want to deal with the reply. Maybe somebody else can explain who I have sentenced to death?

Your posts are regularly nasty in tone and I would suspect that you are not a nice person in real life. We all have a bit of banter on here, but you take it to new levels. ???? I think I will follow suit, and put you on my ignore list also. Don't bother replying directly to me because obviously I won't see your reply.

Sydebolle Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Well, now petrol is cheaper and hence the BMW smart cars can be put into service 24/7 to get all those aliens who cannot get funny letters of their non-resident embassies for the extension of their involuntary stay due to the virus crisis. Others, with embassies in Bangkok, have to get there and some embassies flatly deny such idiotic paperwork as they, for one, have no time for this bureaucratic climax. Instead of doing little trips across the country side to enjoy the views and the sites, Sompong Chingduang and his underlings might be better advised to process all those alien, presently stucked here due to no flights out, in an orderly, common sense fashion. What does a national's embassy confirm apart from what the affected traveller says? I mean, have all those immigration officers lost their mind? Just asking ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, if you can get a face mask. You'd think, with the pandemic unfolding, the immigration police could find more useful things to do right now than rounding up illegals they have to lock up somewhere. You'd think that now is not the time to add more people to crowded jail cells. They can't send them anywhere. Leaving them where they are and taking care of it once the pandemic has passed, would seem a better option. They could re-purpose these officers (aka idiots) to more useful tasks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeePeeMai Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 It won't be long until someone with the virus gets thrown into the Immigration detention center.

And I've realised that even foreigners are capable of " hanging a neighbor" if they somehow "dislike him". A good looking woman could trigger such a snitch. Anybody who does that should be ashamed. Why do these people NOT clean their own front yard first? I'm certain there are skeletons all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovethai123 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Koreans gave amnesty to Thai illegals. But don't expect Thais to do the same. High time for the ones in power to do some act of humanity and provide blanket amnesty to all illegal over stayers irrespective of their skin color and let them return to their motherland. This would also help them in curbing number of overstayers. But I guess, I can't expect this in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their work payed off, and that will be good for the ones taking care of their visas and staying here as legals. If there is no more left, then they can not tarnish our reputation more in that area. In other words, if you do not promote staying in countries illegally and without a valid visas, then you should also be okey with that. Breaking the laws overstaying visas ?....... I wonder how many thousands of illegal Thais there are around the world ? How many thousand in Korea ? Thailand better be very careful that countries don't start sending back loads of very upset Thais removed from their very nice lives abroad....... far better than what they can have in Thailand.... Then the government would have a problem on its hands...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
