This is only a tip of the iceberg.

 

There a thousands of long-term overstayers in Thailand from countries like Nigeria, Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, China, South Korea, etc.

Absolutely, it seems only the 'good guys' do 90 day reports?

I wonder how he financed his stay.

Romance scams, boiler rooms, online gambling, thieving, call centers.

 

Opportunities are endless.

A number of harsh voiced from some who’ve forgotten their humanity.

 

After the war in Iraq then the Daesh insurgency I can hardly find criticism with anyone wanting to escape such horror…. 
While Iraq & particularly the North (Kurdistan region) is much safer than it was a few years ago it’s still quite a dangerous place.


Cases such as this really should have be offered assistance & asylum until a return to the homeland was sufficiently safe, which of course an argument could be made that since the dissolution of the Daesh Iraq now is (relatively compared to 6 years ago).

I hope he doesn't have a family here.

 

 

Or they might have just bagged dad


Indeed… this could be a horrific situation where a family are separated.

I would hope Thailand (all countries) are sympathetic to such issues, but sadly there is usually a monochromatic response.

Are there many job opportunities for illegally staying Iraqis in Kanchanaburi?

 

Iraq 2008 isn't the the first place I think of in terms of providing decades long self sufficient expats.

Better him stay in Thailand than on a UK migrant housing barge !

What a crazy thing to say. Have you even seen the accommodation on the Dutch barge? It's very luxurious (4-5 star hotel), doctor and medical staff, dentist. The kind of care the locals would love. Now compare that to this gentleman's fate!!!!!

Oh, I don't know, three meals a day, all found, no expenses, and a card to spend 40 pounds a week on incidentals......
