Yes, of course he would.

 

Just like all the middle aged+ o.stayers shacked up and hiding out with their wives.......trying to keep a low profile.

 

Because turning to criminal activity is a ******* brilliant way to stay under the radar, out of sight and out of mind, unnoticed and not attracting the attention of the police or anyone else.

 

Idiot ******* Thai logic at its ******* best.

 

They are such ******* *****!

 

 

Do you think he had an Iraqi pension or was loaded?

No, so why did IOs turn up at his house?

Well it was certainly their job to locate and apprehend him......

As mentioned in this thread, likely someone took the pieces of silver. 

Where in Pattaya is his home.  'Mabyalia community'?

This case, and I guess a zillion others, just shows that Thai immigration needs a massive shake-up.

Immigration spends hours on daft stuff paperwork for nothing, 90 day reports etc, yet they cannot keep track of the info in all that paperwork.

 

Farangy's that have been married here for many years must be treated like children every year with nonsense paperwork, crazy stuff.

 

Their time would be better spent looking out for the real dodgers, which they don't, they rely on folk grassing-up for a few bahts..... 

Oh no, so Immigration's smart Beemers are a myth?

 

Tell me it isn't so!!!

Good job immigration, now hunt down all the riff raff who use agents to stay here illegally, this country wants quality expats with the required funds in their own bank account, not the cheap charlie pot noodle balloon chasing wife beating vest brigade.

 

Oops! You omitted 'Chang-swilling sexpat' in your holier than thou newbie rant.

After not doing 90 day reporting for 8 years, why did IOs turn up at his house?

Because he was on overstay.

This fellow must have been rich when he arrived in Thailand or how else did he stay in the

country for so long.  A follow up story may be quite interesting to read.  52 years old and

able to not work but able to stay in a foreign country for 8 whole years.  Interesting.

I'm 66 years old and on my 46th whole year doing this "not work but able to stay in a foreign country" gig.

 

PM me if interested.

Is it possible George W Bush destroyed his home in Iraq during his disastrous "Shock and Awe" campaign???

It is possible that it took three years after the war ended in 2011 for him to realise that his home may have been destroyed?

Off to Rwanda now if you don't meet the criteria for asylum. Mess about there and they will chop your head off. Hopefully it acts as a deterrent. 

 

Never, ever to be allowed legal abode in the UK again if you illegally enter for any reason. ????????

You been sniffing that Tory glue again?

No way.  Too late for that.

I bet they'll size him up, take the 20k if they can get it and let him go either way.

Obviously.  That is how it works, pay the overstay, or the fine if he is prosecuted, and leave, deported

Why should the "riff raff" (who have real extensions, issued by Immigration and so are here legally) be hunted down, shouldn't the agents be the ones who are hunted down for submitting snide applications?

What do you mean, "a guy like this"?  Many Iraqis have money.

IB investigations, perhaps.

This was a response to the person who said we were ignoring the net financial benefits of those foreigners entering the country.
