NativeBob Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yeah, I once had 1173 days overstay. Those were a blessed times! 20K at DonMuang -flew to Penang -> got new dual tourist Visa and return back to LOS So far I know many foreigners happily overstaying in budget appartment along Lard Prao inside those freakishly twisted sois, getting <deleted> with motocycle guys and doing local LBFMs. None was ever arrested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't show up for your 90 day report the the wheels of Immigrations Hitec Computer Technology grind into action. Then nothing happens. Which proves its as much use as a one legged man in an a*** kicking contest. Not quite. It's a nice little earner for the IO when you do show up.????

impulse Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) 8 hours ago, Chivas said: We have a forum full of individuals who think its routinely acceptable to break visa rules not by say 2 days but by a month or in the case of the OP 1 entire year For years before 2014, the Thai government agreed with them... Back then, it was quite possible to clear a 5 year overstay for 20K baht, bounce the border, and be back in Thailand the next day. For a lot of the guys in Thailand, the vast majority of their stay was under those conditions, and the crackdowns are the anomaly. Frankly, I don't understand the "hang 'em high" brigade, who haven't been harmed one iota by this guy. Over the years, I've seen a lot of them change their tune when their particular loophole slammed shut and they found themselves on the outs. Crying in their beer.

It is clearly against the current policy and I think 5 years is a pretty reasonable slap on the wrist. With the family and freinds I have here it would be devastsing. Nor do in think a single dolt whose crircumstances I neither know nor care to understand is worth all the strident righteousness you bring to bear on the topic.

These guys are mostly trying to stay under the radar for myriad reasons e.g. not enough money in bank but enough to take care of themselves and in many cases Thai families.
