Does not matter what other countries Immigration policys are !! this is about Thailand, in a Thai forum

Funny, I seem to hear about other countries all the time.  If you are upset about it just ignore it like I do for most stories.

The only ban is on mule accounts used for facilitating scams, not legitimate new bank accounts opened with the assistance of an agent.

Whether you like it or not, therein lies the problem, how do the banks know if funds from an an agent are legitimate or are going to be used legitimately or not.

Only those with their head in sand would think that every agent application is from people with sufficient funds to make the application.

This time last year my under consideration was about a week over. My wife was told to ring up every day and see if it had come back. After a couple of day she asked the IO why the delay and was told Immigration was backed up because they had to scrutinise agent applications more thoroughly for the financial    requirements.

Take that as read no need for some BS comment.

Meaning more corruption for the Immigration, with help from said agencies  and corrupt corrupt banks to produce visas  to people who doesn't qualify.

 

 

What?

 

 

You want to save Thailand from corruption?

 

 

 

I think that you might have missed the bus on that one.

I am glad I paid 8,000 Baht for the relief of not standing in line.

8000, where? in Pattaya?

Same here, 8000b (+ 4000b for the multi re-entry permit) & I believe it’s worth it.
 

Others may see it as a waste of money & I’m sure if looked at the way they spend their money I would see things that I think are a waste of money. 
 

Different folks, different strokes. 

 

 

May I ask you, where? in Pattaya?

yeah, and I was asking what the Thai rd is doing with those countries - I know people and news talk about certain other nationalities other than westerners here.  I couldn't possibly care more about those countries' tax systems, just how their expats here are being treated.  As a matter of fact, I usually skip the westerners here too as they have really complicated financial systems and getting all kinds of guesses on how to proceed from the Experts on this forum.

From police order

5. In the case where an alien applicant does not meet the full qualifications stipulated by the criteria herein or in other cases not specified in this Order but a competent officer equivalent to or higher than inspector is of the opinion that the alien has legitimate reason for staying in the Kingdom of Thailand, the application shall be forwarded to the Commander of the Royal Thai Police or an authorized competent officer for further consideration of the alien's application. 

If, maybe, perhaps...

If an Agent is used...

By not having the "money in the Bank"

But what if they did have money in the bank, let's say for 5 years in a row,  but one money transfer was late for a given month, and visa renewal was rejected at all levels.......
