islandlodger Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 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?

Popular Post tonytigerbkk Posted August 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2014 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytigerbkk Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 yes but overstayers overstay cos they dont want to leave thailand. So in your mind that gives them the right to break the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SoilSpoil Posted August 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2014 The immigration rules were and are quite clear and straightforward, so why a leniency to those who deliberately break the rules? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 a free pass out of the country 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 ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post JesseFrank Posted August 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2014 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ................ . Edited August 30, 2014 by tonytigerbkk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96tehtarp Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 "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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post David48 Posted August 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2014 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? . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
