Immigration American Man Arrested for 388-Day Overstay in Sri Sa Ket

[saakura]

Looked it up on Google, hardly a resort. More like long term cheap housing in some godforsaken corner of Thailand.

Wonder what his overstay bounty was?

[WDSmart]

I see numerous reports of overstays like this involving individuals from various nations. Why do you think they do this?
- Do they have something in their records that would prohibit them from getting a proper O visa and receiving a long-term stay extension?

- Is the process so confusing that they don't try to learn how to do it?

- Are they just too lazy to do it?
What is it?

Maybe not based solely on skin color, not on citizenship.

From my understanding speaking to such folk, laziness, cantbearsediness and lack of funds. I can kind of see the attraction. If you struggle to meet a visa condition and skip it, seems very easy to just fall between the cracks and never bother again if you dont interact with any govt agency.

Makes little sense at all, lets see if we can lose a good long term paying customer by having him deported - how can we possibly lose 🤣

 

The common sense point I believe UK was making was... in a time when the country is bemoaning the lack of tourists and their spending to the country, it makes ZERO sense for a landlord of all people to grass out a paying tenant (and thus lose that tenant) to Thai Immigration -- unless there were some broader/underlying issues going on with his tenancy.

He may have been selling to fund his stay... 

At least he'll be back in USA to save up for thanks giving.

Well, that's also a thing I don't get. If he has the money to stay in a resort, why didn't he renew his visa or do a border run or any of the other options?

 

Lying low? ... Thailand is famed for crime on the lam ...

You prefer to let criminals that have no respect for the law to stay in the country.  hmm...

There you go again. Too much of the Orange man in your head. Where in the op does it say anywhere the guy is a criminal? He overstayed his visa which is not a criminal offense in most sensible countries.,. there can be any number of reasons a person overstays a visa and it does not mean they have a criminal record.

He is a criminal ... from MS Google ...

 

... "Overstaying your visa in Thailand is a criminal act and can lead to serious legal consequences" ...

... since doing so, as I stated, 'he has no respect of the law'

 

I can explain it to you, but I can't make you understand it.

 

Have a nice day

 

Oh yea ... please tell us all, what country it isn't illegal to overstay your visa.

 

Ms Google, again ...

 

... "Overstaying a visa is generally illegal in all countries. While the consequences and severity of overstaying can vary, it is considered a violation of immigration laws." ...

 

Take note, you brought the 'orange man' into the conversation, not me, as he's not, and never has been in my heard, like so many of the deranged here.

Guest must have gotten on the wrong foot with resort owner. No more payment maybe? Thais are known to be ‘benevolent and turn a blind eye to any infringement of laws.

Better than how the USA are treating undocumented, sending them jails in countries they have no connection to or the proper being built tent detain in the Everglades of Florida, who though Thailand would have better Human Rights MAGaMad $Strumpf facists

You mean illegal aliens of course? If they entered the US illegally then they are criminals, just like if entering Thailand illegally. Each country deals with them as they see fit!

Who knows, maybe he stopped paying his rent and they couldn't get rid of him, then it would be a no brainer to just get him kicked out - and for free - with a possible reward?
