myluckythai Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Honoustly! I have no clue why this visa crackdown is happening. Does it have to do with crimefighting? Is is terrorism? Was it law already just being enforced now and if so why? Is it a new rule and if so why? Really i see lots of downsides, but upsides? It's so hard to get foot on the ground here, whilst it would be so good for Thailand to have investors with enough rights to feel ensured and to really want to make something of it. We are not all trying to colonise Thailand right. But I would never really invest or at least keep too much capital stuck here. How is this good? Probably there is a bigger picture that i am missing on this, so please indulge me. gr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sanuk711 Posted August 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2014 Farang Visa dodgers / cheats, are not Thailand's investors, although some of the tales you read here would have you believing that Thailand has been the sole beneficiary of their generosity. Now that the visa rules that have always been here are being policed better , they all want to start a company, but do not wish to employe any Thai's, as all Thai's are lazy & stupid (except their girlfriends) they are all very well off people but do not wish to avail themselves of any of the investment clauses that would give them a Visa, which include putting money in the bank at better rate than most western countries are giving & getting it all back. Also its a known fact that Thailand will be much worse off without them, in fact it's fast going downhill now with every Visa dodger that leaves. ** Their may be the odd person that disagrees with this analysis........................................ 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkman Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Combination of reasons I guess and have heard. Need more money through tax after what the last government did, foreign mafia operations, Thailand's image, too many of us here now, making the country more efficient with people respecting the system than abusing it, ASEAN etc. Spoke to a girl that was given a really hard time at Chaengwattana for a tourist extension last week, being accused of being a teacher etc. So there is certainly a clean up. Don't know her nationality though. And while this is ethically the right thing to do, it annoys me that they haven't targeted more serious problems here such as the farangs with the boiler rooms who basically own sukhumvit. Surely that is far more disgusting than some guy working on the wrong visa. However, in this world, money and corruption certainly gets you somewhere.

I've had free visas to thailand before and it wasnt anything to write home about. what I want to know is are they going to be allowed to circumvent this crackdown?

xbusman Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Well, does it occur to anyone that the military is in charge now? Just stop for a moment and think of the military mind. What their goals are, how they operate, how they are trained, taught to address problems..... Making better sense of the new developments yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
