So he's been here for 10 years, therefore he arrived when he was 24.  A bet he's been living the good life while he's been here. 

 

Things are about to change for him and quite dramatically I'd think. 

 

Not sure if Putins still using the Wagner Group, but this fellow may end up on the Russian front....possibly the best place for him.

The party is over for him....

Or Immigration has no real system to alert them to people who are on overstay.

The immigration BMWs didn't get him.

 

This is why they need fighter jets.

They can probably see who is on overstay but where to find them?

So the 90 day report system didn't work?

Another case where an arrest had nothing to do with police investigation and everything to do with a grass.

About the same as with immigration in your home country, where most likely many more are overstaying

Drug and rape related convicts were not allowed to join this program. Now this program is shut, so the only possible  next destination for him is jail for several years.

In my country they are not necessary illegal, but get Asylum after a criminal conviction anyway!

10 years is pretty solid. He prob saved a bundle on visa fees and hassle

You are needed at the front, get ready for war.

I came here to also say the BMW 7xx missed him.

 

Jets? I was thinking submarine

[BayArea]

Unfortunately,  he's one of thousands over staying in Thailand.  Some will get caught and some will never see justice.  

 

[steven100]

it's those nosy Thai neighbors again ....  he should have taken cup cakes over.. 

[uttradit]

Should have hide in Phuket.

Amazing the youth of today.  Arriving at age 24.

“Self supporting”” for 10 years.  No doubt in whatever means possible.

.

 When I was his age I was too busy in a career, building equity, accumulating investments to even think about moving to Thailand.

And now I reap the benefits.  Wouldn’t change a thing.
