Popular Post prakhonchai nick Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 As a PR holder, I am not involved with extensions, but have today been asked by a friend whether I am aware of the rules re home visits from Immigration. He has told me that in the past he was visited once a year by Immigration and had a photo taken with his wife.. More recently these visits became monthly, and are now weekly!!!!!!!! Does anyone have any knowledge of this. reasons why etc? 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many foreigners left, so they need to justify their jobs by visiting the remaining ones more often. It's that or job cuts. 5 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donekys Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Never experienced monthly or weekly visits, but when I apply for my extension of visa based on marriage an immigration officer visits us at our home and takes pictures of us around the house and out front with us pointing at the house number sign. This is in spite of the fact that I submitted the same photos with my extension application. This all started about three years back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

from the home of CC Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 don't know about PR holders but on an extension (marriage) they've come to my place. Considering all the talk on TVF about bribing this and that office I'm surprised they're not around every 3 months.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds to me like they think he's lying and they want to catch him out but I guess that depends on whether he has the extension already. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post whiteman Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 In 14 years I have only been visited one time 3 years ago. The boss man asked me if I wished to have lunch with them I bet at my costs. My wife piped up sorry we have just eaten they never came back. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangyai Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 Are these visits in the morning or afternoon or weekends ?

Popular Post prakhonchai nick Posted November 3, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 Your answers so far all seem to suggest there is no official reason for all these visits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrew Dwyer Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 The frequency of these visits seems very strange . I will wager that no other foreigner gets such attention, usually once every 2 or 3 years or once a year at most , some have never had a home visit. Does his wife make them an exceedingly good somtam ? ,does he ply them with Hong Thong ?, has someone fitted an “ all immigration officers welcome “ sign to his garden gate without his knowledge ?. Maybe he should just ask them why ?? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be living in their country, but you are still a human being and should expect to be treated like one, and not a criminal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surelynot Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Although my wife and I have our registered address as her home village, we never 'live' there as we travel around either...... hotels or renting..........I take it this is allowed.... it is the hotel or landlord's responsibility to complete a TM30????
