My Previous post at

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=35800

Was labeled a Hoax and closed.

In order to regain my Credability ...

I now understand this was Published in a Thai Newspaper

- probably "Thai Rath" about a month ago.

More precise details are that it was a small column

The Chief of Police was reported as saying that he was aware

of Foreigners problems with Visa Runs - Wasted Time & Expense

And it made sense (and Money for Thailand) to have new visas

available at Immigration - at a price.

And that he intended to Appoint a New Head of Immigration soon.

I am appealing to anyone able to read Thai to search & find this article

- maybe from the Paper's website if it has one.

Or thru direct contact with the Newspaper.

I do not speak Thai & certainly cannot read it

so any help would be appreciated

Many Thanks

Bill

Just click the year and month that the article was published, then click on the date

The Chief of Police was reported as saying that he was aware

of Foreigners problems with Visa Runs - Wasted Time & Expense

I thought that was the idea....

There may well have been such an article in the Thai press but I really wouldn't put much stock in one Thai government official running his mouth in front of a group of reporters. New policies are announced almost daily in the papers as being a fait accompli and then never heard from again. The type of change you describe would be such a fundamental altering of the Thai visa process that governmental inertia alone would be enough for it to never get off the ground. Sorry to be a killjoy...
