tinsom Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Judging by the criminality that seems to to taking place By non thais In certain areas of thailand Why is the immigration officers and government Being proactive In keeping out undesirables Out Ie checking if it's Thier first visit And furthermore checking if they have enough funds for a 30 day visit ie 40.000 Even though most undesirable People will over stay Seems thailand current policy is If you have a pulse you can come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossfinn Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 David Is it a 30 day exempt, or a 30 day stamp on arrival, which is what I thought it was, which would mean they are not without a visa. But I am probably wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinsom Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Ok thanks for the info But if they do as most do Visa on arrival Normally thirty day I'm not a racist But the fact that most of crime by non thais Is carried out by Russians africans eastern Europeans The list goes on As to whether the government will wake up and smell the coffee Is unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am probably wrong Mossy, it's all the in wording ... I know what you are on about. But technically, there is no visa ... Visa Exemption (Bilateral Agreement)Passport Holders who can enter Thailand without a Visa The VISA EXEMPTION RULE allows tourists from 52 countries1 to enter without a visa. They are granted a stay of maximum 30 days but only if entering Thailand via an international airport. Here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Shouldn't the title be Immigration and Emigrants? OP - what country are you from and what was your bank balance when you cam here the first time? So we can judge your suitability. Are you really saying that a poor Ukrainian who wants to better himself in Thailand should be refused entry? Are you saying a poor Nigerian who wants to sell "diamonds" to sexpats on lower Sukhumvit should be refused entry? Are you saying a guy from the USA with $10,000 in his pocket should have preferential treatment over a Bangladeshi who has $1000 to start up a roti cart? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crimes committed by the Russians, Africans and Eastern Europeans in Thailand are the ones we mostly hear about and reported. The most crimes committed by other farang nationalities are the ones that rarely get reported, illegal workers, business owners, property speculators and scammers. Probably the biggest crimes higher up the scale are committed by foreigners other than East Europeans and Africans. Take a look in some of the past Thai visa news clippings section forums, it`s loaded with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinsom Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 So immigration checking if Visitors have enough Funds to stay would single out undesirables and People trafficking And foreign prostitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 If you are entering on a TOIRIST visa It is just that NO EMPLOYMENT BUYING OR SELLING In theory yes, but there are thousands of farangs over here who are abusing the system and continue to break the laws that has the knock on affect of tightening up the rules for all of us. In my opinion the only solution is to permit those on tourist visas 3 months per year in the kingdom only, as 12 weeks should be an ample period to be holidaying in a country. I cannot see any legitimate reasons or excuses for bona-fife tourists needing to stay for longer periods than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetlejuice Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Don't make this personal Our AY JAYDEE asked a perfectly reasonable question considering that you created this thread themed on immigration and immigrants. I am on a non O Immigrant visa based on retirement, I do not work. Prior to that I was on a non O Immigrant visa based on marriage to a Thai spouse and was working abroad. So how about you? What type of visa are on and do you have a registered company and a work permit for your online business that you operate here in Thailand? If not then do you for some reasons believe you are exempt from the same rules and other regulations impose on ex-pats here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
