A few observations and a question regarding a Visa run I did

Featured Replies

So yesterday I did a Visa run (Border Bounce) with a reputable Visa run company down to Malaysia to activate the final part of my  tourist visa.

 

Everything went well and all of us were allowed back into Thailand, nobody had to show proof of onward flight, 20,000 baht or any of nonsense that some have mentioned, (I took money and onward flight ticket just to be on the safe side)

 

A few things I observed:

 

There was an Ozzy girl who was on overstay due to having a problem doing a visa run earlier in the week (I noticed she had 2 passports) The thing that struct me as crazy (and all the other guys on the bus) was the way this girl was dressed bearing in mind she was visiting an immigration office where she had already had a problem.  She was not a small girl and had a dress that left little to the imagination, her enormous tits almost flopping out of her dress (no bra).

 

One elderly German guy who had obviously been drinking all night prior to being picked up at 3am in the morning, stank of booze and BO, shirt completely undone until the owner of the Visa run company told him to smarten himself up.

 

The last Visa run I did there was a Brit in the same drunken state  ended up having a drunken argument with immigration staff because he had not gone to the correct window to be stamped out of Malaysia  prior to attempting to re-enter Thailand.

 

FFS show some respect and dress appropriately when visiting immigration, your actions reflect badly on all of us!

 

 

Question - An elderly American lady who told me she runs a business in Thailand was doing a border bounce, even she didn't know why she has to do it (she was a bit lala), she thinks it's because she doesn't employ enough Thai staff?? She said she renews her Visa one a year back in America, so what type of Visa would she be on and why does she have to do visa runs??

She was a little bit La La (crazy) IMO and I didn't really want to engage her in too much conversation with fear of being her best friend for the day haha

The lady more than likely has a multiple entry non-b visa. Extensions of stay for working has a lot of requirements that people can't meet. The most common is their salary and not having 4 Thai employees.
