Hi all you who are overstaying.

I think the new military government should impliment an amnesty for all.

I would suggest a 1 month period to allow for everybody on overstay to get amnesty for their wrongdoiing

and a free pass out of the country. This would enable those who cannot afford the fines a free exit.

They should show up to any immigration offices within the month and be given an exit stamp valid for 7 days.

I don't have to worry about , but I'm sure there are many that do.

It would certainly allow people to get back on track.

What do you think?

Yeah, and I also think that they should have an amnesty for mass murderers and rapists, after all it is only the law that they are breaking.

yes but overstayers overstay cos they dont want to leave thailand.

Not even slightly over the top........ 5555

yes but overstayers overstay cos they dont want to leave thailand.

So in your mind that gives them the right to break the law.

They would have to be mad to do that. You know that madness gives people the right to avoid prison....but I hear the Thai mental hospitals are worse.

The immigration rules were and are quite clear and straightforward, so why a leniency to those who deliberately break the rules?

The new rules are not in place at this moment. So people with a overstay had, and still have time to clear there problem.

So your post don't make sence.

I dont know Tony, think your being a tad harsh, there is value in the OP's suggestion

I would suggest a 1 month period to allow for everybody on overstay to get amnesty for their wrongdoiing

and then ban them for 10 years from re-entering Thailand, any "assets" they have in Thailand, sold by the state to cover their fines

what you recon ?

Easy Tiger.

I think what he was saying is that an amnesty would be useless because they are on overstay because they dont want to leave Thailand.

I dont think he was condoning breaking the law.

It isn't the junta who made it illegal to overstay, isn't it.

It has been against the law as long as I can remember, so if you can't do the time don't do the crime, is my advise.

Ah now I understand.

Sorry but at the moment in getting very p issed off with the overstay crowd who think that they should just get off scott free even though they were aware that they were breaking the law.

So following your advice, I now say to myself ................

"I think the new military government should implement an amnesty for all."

They don't need to implement an amnesty because there always has been one. It costs twenty thousand Thai baht or one hundred days of "working" in prison. Take your pick and buy your amnesty.

Seriously, the type of amnesty the OP mentions will be issued if the illegal Alien resident situation becomes critical to national security. Personally I would like to have seen the recent situation with the Cambodian exodus handled better than it was, although if the Thai immigration police really wanted to catch those evil criminals they could simply have rounded them all up as they approached the border posts attempting to exit and sent them off to prison. They didn't do that.

Lack of, or lax enforcement of existing laws is a lot like an unofficial amnesty.

I'm sort of confused (steady boys ) ... didn't that happen already with the Military Management give warning of a few weeks to clean the sins of the past and announce that, by a certain date, Rule of Law would be enforced?

Signed

Hasn't this been done already and the OP missed the Boat?
