Why?

 

I am a legal expat with all the correct documentation.

 

It would be a court hearing first, boyo, as I would appeal - and definitely no chains!

But I agree, any farang overstayers should be deported, chains or not, without question.

 

I would even go a step further - that those who obtain their annual extensions through fraudulent means should also be deported. You know what I am talking about...

The Thai economy would be shot if the Immigrations officials didn't receive their tea money.

 

I have just obtained my 12 month extension, based on retirement, via an agent and my stamp is as legal as anyone else's.

 

I chose not to have money in the bank

Ignore the troll.

 

If you changed the topic to 'Should all US officials be banned from entering Western Democracies...', then yes. Until they're ready to be civil and grown up, then countries should start turning their backs on America. Thailand is still emerging from the grips of third/developing world status, so could be forgiven for discretions here and there.

Due to the flagrant corruption, election stealing, the recent Uyghur scandal and the autocratic nature of this current government - should anyone who works for, serves, or is connected to it, be banned from entering Western countries just like the Russians currently are?

Show me a country that doesn't have corruption then I will let you know.

... not an untypical view of those born of convict musings, of a place with a dubious history that could fit on the back of a matchbox.

Be wary of overly contentious posts from new niks, folks. Probably been banned a half dozen times.

Darn, I ignored my own advice... see above.

I'll agree as long as all American officials including the president are banned from entering any other country.

Bans on Thai officials traveling to the West is meaningless. It achieves nothing. I don't think they care much. Increasingly, they spend their time in HK and China. There are many, many actions involving trade that will easily get much better results from Thailand.

Trump should hammer them, just like they hammer us with 90 day reports, TM 30's and visa extensions.

The US at one time required foreign nationals to notify the government of any address change through a post card every year. I remember seeing PSAs maybe as late as the 1980s notifying aliens of this requirement. Like everything else with US immigration, however, it eventually became another ignored requirement.

Or you could say that it has evolved - unlike Thailands...

 

1979 was the last time anything was legally changed here immigration wise!

 

That's like having Windows 95 installed on a Latpop in 2025..

And I don't want it to change. Trust me, once they start doing major changes to immigration in Thailand, the results will not be what we want.

Seen from the moon we are all the same size, Bob.

Now Thailand is a member of the BRICS block of countries (including Russia, India, Brazil, China, South Africa, Indonesia and some other countries). Who cares about the so-called "Western Democracies"! Europe is on decline.

LOL. By a majority of votes yes, but of a majority of voters, methinks not. Many didn't vote or voted for other people.

I only read the headline and, before I read the content, spontaneously thought: Bob is bored.....🥱

Just as MFP and Pitha won here, fair and square.

 

The difference is that Donald became the president but Pitha and his party were disbanded by the elites...
