And yet, from the official Thai government website in Norway: Applicants applying for a Non-Immigrant O visa for retirement purposes must be at least 50 years of age. Now isn't that interesting. Bad reporting or something else....... According to this link After receiving a letter from the Governor of Phuket Province and the Provincial Police Phuket Province Report the behavior of this accused. It was found that there had been more than 3-4 wrongdoings and behaviors that affected the happiness and peace of the people in the country. Dangerous to society When considered So the visa was revoked. This is a type of visa to spend the rest of your life in Thailand (retirement). https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=saved&v=419778263900124 Have seen similar cases in the UK where a single reported incident leads to mountain of incident's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From @vinny41 to me... https://www.thephuketnews.com/kicking-swiss-man-in-phuket-loses-visa-91515.php Of course, maybe the report is wrong. Many are here. Or maybe his former friends were able to assist him. Or he used an agent. Edited March 7 by Bangkok Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settling with the victim is a civil resolution but not necessarily a criminal resolution, ie., with the RTP. If a crime has been committed, the RTP must pursue an investigation to determine whether criminal prosecution is required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zakalwe Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 Some more detail from: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=saved&v=419778263900124 What is interesting is the multiple incidents of misconduct, totaling 3-4 times. Police Colonel Itthipol Itthisaranachai, Superintendent of Immigration Division 6, disclosed the progress regarding the revocation of the visa of Mr. David, a 45-year-old Swiss national and suspect in the assault case against a female doctor in Phuket province. Recently, they received a report from the immigration chief regarding the withdrawal of the visa of the aforementioned Swiss individual after receiving letters from the provincial governor of Phuket and the provincial police. The report highlighted the individual's behavior, indicating multiple incidents of misconduct, totaling 3-4 times, which adversely affected the peace and happiness of the people in the country, posing a threat to society. Consequently, his retirement visa, allowing permanent residency in Thailand, has been revoked. Furthermore, following these steps, the police officers from the immigration division will notify Mr. David today about the revocation of his visa. Mr. David has the right to appeal within 48 hours. Additionally, he has the right to stay in the country because there are still pending assault cases against the female doctor. Mr. David also has the right to post bail to fight the case and remain in Thailand until the case is concluded. Afterward, there will be arrangements for his deportation. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 55 minutes ago, John Drake said: Again, I'm more interested in how he got a retirement visa/extension at age 45, according to that Bangkok Post story. If the report is accurate, that is something to follow up on in relation to others in Phuket, especially Russians. I read in a previous article that his visa is related to being an official in connection with his elephant sanctuary (like an NGO?), thus not a retirement visa. If his Sanctuary proves to be a fake, he should lose his visa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An earlier article said that the steps that she was sitting on was claimed by the Swiss man to be part of his private villa property and so not public property. For that he kicked her. The doctor previously asked a nearby guard if it was okay to sit on the steps and the guard said 'yes.' She trusted he was correct. But further reporting said the Swiss man was not the property owner but a renter. According to a police investigation, the steps were encroaching on public property and removed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Meeseeks Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 4 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: He had also blocked an ambulance last year but nothing came of the case, possibly because of his 'friends'. This time he kicked the wrong person who wouldn't be hushed up. He's a serial idiot, arrogant and a bully. Having money sometimes does that to people. He cut in front of the ambulance and gave the driver the finger. He did not block it and the ambulance was not on an urgent mission with no sirens. We have only heard the ambulance driver's side of the story. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad reporting or something else....... You cannot get a retirement visa if under the age of 50. Additionally, he has the job title of Managing Director of the Elephant Sanctuary, so it is likely he is on Non-B and work permit.

Correct and I am surprised so many people leaving confused reactions on that post as we all know about the criminal defamation laws in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
