jumnien Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 With immigration fees so ridiculously low, I don't think they go far past the desk where you pay them. I pay tens of thousands of dollars to the US government and get crap from them. I pay 1,900 baht per year to Thailand and get a little piece of heaven!

lopburi3 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Visas are issued by Consulates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and expect the money is used to offset the expense of there operations in foreign countries. Immigration is a police department branch and expect there money is also used to offset expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackspratt Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 One would hope it goes into consolidated revenue, and that the expenses of the various agencies are allocated by the government after proper budget consideration. It is a dangerous practice to allow revenue raisers to spend "income" as they wish. God forbid, it has been known to encourage corrupt activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
