Featured Replies

What do you think if the Thai's could just fly to those countries and get a 30 days visa on arrival and have vacation or visit friends?

Question to all Canadian, Usa, Australian and Europian citisen.

Moved to General section.

Would save us a lot of trouble.

I wouldn't mind anybody moving, living and working anywhere visa free as well.

Apart from a Billion Chinese and half a Billion Indians who would work harder than me, do my job cheaper and also better.

Nah, I am not up for that :o

Come holiday, leave yer money and then <deleted> off - no worries with that. Maybe I should give TAT a call? :D

Austrralia has a recipricol visa agreement with Thailand....

Why the Thais cant do this already is beyond me...

We can turn up on their doorstep and get a thirty day visa...they should be able to do the same here.

Don't know of any problems american citizens have of bringing their legal wife for a visit to the US. Or to live, for that matter, providing they can support them.

:D

Quite true,you have to prove you can support your wife.

The reason they don't allow easy access ,is they tend to disappear into the country,when found the US has to pay for tickets etc..

It would be chaos for a while but in the end save us a lot of trouble.

that would be great.

Certainly not for long, I don't know too many Thais that would be happy leaving Thailand for an extended period.

Strange isn't it? in my country the somewhat general perception of Asian women is that they are looking for a passport out, but that is definitely not the case for Thai women from my experience.

Some people do have hassles trying to take their wives back to the U.S.

Not Necessarily. The US does require a lot of information first. It took my months to get my Japanese wife into the states....and that was 11 years ago. I'm sure it's worse now.

They prefer a credit card in. :o

Well NZ tried it for a year or two a little while back for visa free access for Thai's, and then promptly stopped it.

I don't know the exact reason why, but I believe the problem was with overstayers.

that would be great.

Heres the answer

"The Thai make up the greatest proportion of foreign sex workers in New Zealand and they also make up the largest proportion of Asian overstayers"

quote from refugee news NZ LINK

9 December 2000 The right of New Zealand citizens to a three-month visa-free holiday in Thailand is likely to be reduced to 30 days after the decision by the New Zealand Government to end visa free status for Thai nationals entering New Zealand.

["Thais react to visa ban", Weekend Herald, December 9, 2000, p A5]

8 December 2000 The Minister of Immigration, Lianne Dalziel has announced that visitors from Thailand and the Czech Republic will require visitor visas from 1 January 2001. The suspension of the visa waiver agreements with the Czech Republic and Thailand was the result of a number of visitors claiming refugee status when in New Zealand, being refused entry at the border or working illegally in New Zealand. Visa waiver status with Thailand was introduced in November 1987 and with the Czech Republic in October 1996. The Minister has stated that New Zealand must move to put a stop to people seeking to prop up illegal work practices and those who are diverting valuable time and resource from genuine refugee claims. The recent rise in the number of refugee claims by Thai and Czech nationals was, she said, perhaps explained by the ability of refugee claimants to obtain work permits and access to the benefit system. It is reported that Government statistics show that 905, or 73% of the 1,239 people refused entry to New Zealand last year and this year were Thai nationals. On average 30 Thai nationals make refugee claims each month. Of the 188 decisions on Thai claims made this year, only one has been approved. In 1999 and 2000, there were 1,630 Czech visitors to New Zealand of whom 129 claimed refugee status. None has been approved. The Czech Republic honorary counsel in Wellington is reported as blaming the problem on Romanies.

Well NZ tried it for a year or two a little while back for visa free access for Thai's, and then promptly stopped it.

not enough sheep to go around ? :o

they said it just takes time after 09/11 maybe so. but who konw have to wait for Thai/ then US public servants . We all know how they work a their oun pace. Thai or US.

Austrralia has a recipricol visa agreement with Thailand....

Why the Thais cant do this already is beyond me...

We can turn up on their doorstep and get a thirty day visa...they should be able to do the same here.

Thais can turn up on our doorstep and buy land and houses, Thais can marry one of us and get PR and citizenship, Thais can work any job in our homecountries... we should be able to do the same here.

Notwithstanding having being confuted countless times (search the archives) this same old nonsense will continue to get posted on Thaivisa again and again and again and again and again...
