Immigration Office Still Collecting 300 Baht For Address Confirmation Letters

[agogohome]

Yup, they're still at it! I spoke to several people this morning whilst doing my 90 day reporting. All paid 300 baht. The officers I observed taking money were sitting at desks 01 & 02 (ground floor Phuket town).

Since the chief has already denied this happens (to the Phuket Gazette), one can only asume he's going - or gone - deaf and blind!

PLEASE: if you are asked for money for a free service, ask for a signed receipt with the officers name clearly written on it.

Just report any suspected corruption to the Phuket Governors Office.

Then you are part of the problem, and the reason they get away with it!
