What help could anyone give him ?

Put 800000 in his bank for three months and do the paperwork for him, keep the bank book yourself,

 no, but than again, Thais in their new homecountry behave and are positive and integrate. Farang on the other hand are abusive, negative, and insulting their new home country on a daily basis, and behave like the Thais should adapt to them and their superior ideas and attitude, instead of integrating.

so yeah, i can understand why the Thais are not really going for the idea of giving citizenship too easy for the farang...

More utter guff, every post anti foreigner.

A thoroughly nice man and  friend , he has helped many people in the town

It will be sad to see him go

It was his choice but in what way had he "helped so many people"?.

Wow a real criminal...what a threat to society....

Yes, anyone who "is not a threat to society" should be allowed to stay here visa-free and visa requirements worldwide should be abolished reciprocally.

Seven years ago though, when he went on overstay , you just needed a letter from your Embassy without actually having to have the cash

Still the case for Germans.

He is a well liked man, has always gone out of his way to help people, both Thai and foreigner. Most of us knew of his visa situation, so I doubt he was grassed up.

The fact you or anybody knew about it is where he went wrong. With something like that you don't tell anybody

The photo shoot equates to the capture of a serial rapist.....????

Still people enjoy seeing this kind of behavior from an evil Government !

Using your logic, all countries, worldwide, are "evil governments"...unless you can name any that don't require aliens to have visas.

Plenty of time to start learning a few Tagalog phrases.

I bet having that BMW there helped rather than just a Toyota pickup

Why would it be illegal?   There are no IB regulations requiring that lump sum money in the bank has to come from an IB-approved source.

Could You send the old chap away ?. I couldn't. Law or No Law, he aint got much time left anyway.

But, as far as a lot of Thaivisa members in general are concerned, he's right with that observation!

It has to be you're money, not someone elses 

You need to show immigration that the money come from your bank account abroad as well and it was transferred to Thailand .

   I recall last year, two Indians getting arrested for lending 800 000 Baht for the other to get the visa

Shuuuussshh , that doesn't happen ...…………….not legally anyway

[CharlieH]

I know the law is the law etc, but where is the "humanity" in this, where is the compassion ?

 

Are people really that jaded and programmed, ok daft question.

 

Just saddens me thats all, he isnt hurting anyone, he isnt a drug baron or peadophile no danger to society. 

Each case on its own merits would be my view. Not just a paperwork violation which ultimately thats all this actually is, clerical violation.

 

His paperwork is not in order so lets rip his life apart and ban him from what is now his home for 10yrs ! Shameful in my opinion.

"It has to be you're money, not someone elses"

It has to be in a bank account in the applicant's name, that's all.

 

"You need to show immigration that the money come from your bank account abroad as well and it was transferred to Thailand".

As far as the lump sum method is concerned, no, you do not have to prove that to IB.

No, you initially have to show the money got transferred into Thailand from abroad .

Maybe not after the first time of renewal, but first time you have to provide the money transfer from abroad code

Maybe there could be a place called Farang-Town in BKK, in the same way as there's a China-Town? The Chinese brought their culture etc to Thailand, is that any different?

[sahibji]

that is about seven years overstay. strange that he did not get monitored. does the immigaration department not have a system of tracking overstayers?

[Pedrogaz]

I see the BMW is doing its job......the cops couldn't catch hi for 7 years until the Beemer came along.....go expensive cars. How about a Smart Porsche for our outstanding BIB?

One would think they would be glad of every foreigner that they have these days

Do you know how he got caught ?

[Oldie]

Obviously the immigration rules and actions don't work very well if something like this and many similar cases cannot be prevented.
