Are you an Alien?

[Elvis Presley]

According to Thai immigration that is what we are.

 

Aliens from other planets, extra-terrestrials, part of the 'out group..'

 

At least once I get my PR book there will be no more signing any kind of 'Alien' documents again. I will no longer be considered an Alien, but a Permanent part of the Thai furniture..

 

I do feel sorry for the rest of the Aliens, though. It's such a dehumanizing term and definitely should not be used by the officialdom in 2025.

 

regards,

Elvis from Tupelo.

...Do you not sign those documents every year that say the word Alien on them, then?

As the word "Alien" describes what all foreigners are I can see no objection, if I cared, to it's use! It is a just a word as explained here;

From the Oxford English Dictionary;

alien 
n    adjective 
1    belonging to a foreign country.naturalized. 
2    unfamiliar and distasteful. 
3    relating to or denoting beings from other worlds. 
n    noun 
1    a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living. Øan alien plant or animal species. 
2    a being from another world. 

ORIGIN
    Middle English: via Old French from Latin alienus 'belonging to another', from alius 'other'.

It's obvious, mr poo, that you can never ever see the wood for the trees, no matter what issue is presented to you.

 

Everything is always roses and perfume for you.

 

Dip your toes into reality sometime - It may actually benefit you.

Elvis from Tupelo.

You seem to dip more than your toes in, and no doubt your b/f  does the same to you

Sorry Bob but I just quoted you reality from the dictionary!

Telling someone to "Dip your toes into reality sometime - It may actually benefit you" is hilarious coming from you!

Come down to earth someday and join the real world, if you can!

He cannot as no group will accept Bob as a member as they would not know what name to enrol him under!

Ah, Bonkers-Bob, now suddenly heartbroken over being called an alien. How touching. You’ve spent many piss drunk years moaning about 90-day check-ins, immigration queues, and how Thailand’s gone to the dogs, yet the thing that finally brings a tear to your eye and causes you to readjust your gonad position is a bureaucratic label you’ve lived with for decades. What’s next, mate? A hunger strike over the unfairness of being called farang every time you go buy your M-150 at 7-Eleven?

 

But let’s get to the real reason behind this latest sermon shall we, Batty Bob? This isn’t about “dehumanizing terms,” is it? No, no. This is just another one of your "I’m better than you lot" rants because you claim you’re about to get your PR book, while the rest are doomed to forever wander the immigration office like lost buffalos. But hold up, Blithering Bob, last time we checked, almost getting a PR is about as useful as almost fluffing yourself off. Until that little red book is actually in your grubby mitts, you’re still just another alien nobody in a sweat-stained polo, grumbling in the visa queue with the rest of the sorry old geezers.

 

And this whole “permanent part of the Thai furniture” bit, what does that even mean, Barmy Bob? Really? You reckon you’ll be reincarnated as a half-broken barstool in the corner of some Nana Plaza hellhole pretty soon? Or are you picturing yourself as an antique wooden sanctuary, forever blessed with offerings of half-drank bottles of pop and stale peanuts? Either way, it’s nice to see you finally embracing your true destiny, an old, worn-out, wooden relic collecting dust in the corner while the rest of the world moves on in reality.

But I'll be moving on with my PR book, and you'll still be queuing up at Immigration, year in, year out.

 

Apples and oranges.

 

I've got the best deal. And I do feel sorry for you.

Oh my, Blinging Bob you are at it again, clutching your imaginary PR book like it’s the golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s Pattaya Fantasy Factory. You must be exhausted, mate, lugging around that massive chip on your shoulder while also carrying the weight of your own delusions.

 

But let’s be honest, Bob the Scrog, the only thing you’ve ever successfully “moved on” from is your bar tab. And even that usually involves a sprint down Soi 6 with a couple of ladyboys clutching after your unit.

 

Apples and oranges, you say? More like bananas and bingo cards, mate. Because while you’re here still banging on about your PR dream, the rest of us are living rent-free in that hollowed-out skull of yours, watching you desperately try to convince us (and yourself) that you’re not just another washed-up beer-bar rusty-stool philosopher who’s two Chang beers away from crying into his deep fried pork skins.

 

But sure, Bob, keep feeling sorry for us. It must be tough, standing on the imaginary pedestal you’ve built from untruths and broken dreams. Just try not to trip over it on your next dramatic exit from Thailand, because let’s face it, we all know there’s another flounce-off to nowhere-land coming from you any minute now.

I opened an email account just for dealing with Thai immigration a few years ago.

alien_visitor@

 

I was going to put it on my extension application, but chickened out as I thought it might not go down too well.

They do have criteria you have to meet. No way in hell a grifter like you will get PR. Just keep telling yourself all is cool though. Not a moniker one of yours would pass muster.

The PR card in the US, known officially as a permanent resident card, is also known as a "green card" because of its historical greenish color, but It was formerly officially called either a "certificate of alien registration card" or an "alien registration receipt card". And non-citizens residing in the US are still called aliens, even today. You have legal aliens and illegal aliens in the US. 

[Lacessit]

According to US Immigration, I am also an alien when I go there.

 

So far, I have resisted the temptation to claim I am the newly appointed Galactic Ambassador from Andromeda.

[CharlieH]

Sorry Bob but your PR doesn't change nothing legally.

Alien: Legal Definition: A person who is not a citizen or national of a particular country.

 

someone who has been granted "permanent residence" is then considered a "resident alien" in legal terms, as they are still not a citizen of the country.

Clutches his imaginary PR book next to his imaginary (yet, authentic Rolex).

When did you lodge your application and how long will it take to be approved ?
