Popular Post mushroomdave Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Linked story added: "It was also unclear how long he had been overstayed or how he was caught and arrested". It's not "unclear" how he was caught and arrested.........normally when you leave, they run your name...(duh!)...it's not rocket science! He actually did all the work for them!!

Popular Post Scouse123 Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 It says international gate, so that takes away one posters question was it an internal flight. It was a waste of time going to the enclosed link as no further information of any merit is available there. Obviously must be more than meets the eye, it's a long time since I was in Phuket, but if they have allowed him to get all the way to the international departure gate, and not stopped him at immigration, have they discovered something more serious? 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandolphGB Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Quote An Immigration Officer at the Phuket International Airport told the Phuket Express So when the Immigration Officer 'told' them, they didn't think to ask the suspect's name, age or how long he had overstayed for. Stick to running bars in Sin City. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Not much info. How long was the overstay? This is usually revealed immediately. Regardless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Theory Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 7 hours ago, webfact said: they arrested an American man at the departure gate in the international terminal. Perhaps he paid for his overstay when he went to immigration counter for exit stamp. It seems they had changed mind and came after him to the gate.

Smokey and the Bandit Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 So if it was just an overstay, he could pay the fine and get on his flight? Obviously something else going on here? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no worries just pay 20k is a load of Bolicks. Or Maybe he had an outstanding charge against him, and found out just in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
