Whale Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Anyone received a phone call that plays an automated message in Thai saying "This is immigration police, two officers and a girl will visit you"? And that all it says. [Bangkok] Edited March 3, 2022 by Whale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Hell no. But I am not living in the city of Angels. In Thai language only to a foreigner. Sounds absurd but always keep an excuse: this is Thailand. Do you have enemies in the neighborhood who want to frighten you? What number was displayed?

If you have time, go to immigration and play the message to them and find out one way or another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldgit Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 This has nothing to do with visas to countries outside of Thailand. I’ll move your question to the Thai Visa and Immigration thread, maybe someone can shed some light on your query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern should come if 2 people turn up saying they are from immigration, you should be prepared to phone immigration and check. We have been contacted several times by immigration to say they will visit and it has always been from the person doing the visit to confirm you will be present. Notice can be unpredictable, from a couple of days to about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking whether the marriage with Thai wife is legit, living together, foreigner living at the specified address and the like. They can also ask neighbors or village headman. Some exceptions to the rule. As far as I remember some foreigners on retirement extension had also written about a visit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Nothing to worry about ,If someone turns up ask for ID and Office Phone Number ( Better look up local Imm Phone number first) and Call Office to confirm ID .

Yes but this is only normal while your extension is under consideration, otherwise it sounds like a scam, and why would they send it in Thai makes no sense. Ignore it.
