Ricardo Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Actually I see it's not in schengen either. However I looked it up and it says you can go visa free anywhere in Europe. Can also go to Caribbean and parts of South America plus Cambodia and Laos. Where else would you want to go? Dubai? Or perhaps Uganda, Tanzania & Zimbabwe, South Africa where he has/had mining-investments. Or Congo & the USSR, where he has/had friends (like President Putin), or China where "I am really close to the Chinese government". http://www.forbes.com/sites/timferguson/2012/10/30/qa-thaksin-sits-down-with-forbes/ "Liberia, Uganda and Swaziland for investments in diamonds and gold. He has posted photographs of meetings with leaders on trips to Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea and the Maldives." http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/sep/02/thaksin-shinawatra-resurfaces-south-africa Singapore, where he's had business-dealings with Temasek, and went to the funeral of the late premier. http://www.forbes.com/profile/thaksin-shinawatra/ Hong Kong, where he made a profit on a property he bought, and then sold, reportedly in his daughter's name. <<<< 26) The Bangkok Post and Phuketwan do not allow quotes from their news articles or other material to appear on Thaivisa.com.

torpedo1970 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thaksin using Montenegrin passport now THE SUNDAY NATION BANGKOK: -- FORMER PRIME minister Thaksin Shinawatra was in Berlin, Germany, after having his Montenegrin passport renewed in Montenegro, according to social media reports. Thaksin, whose Thai passports were revoked by the Foreign Ministry recently, posted a photo of himself in front of a shop he said was in Berlin on Instagram. "This German pork leg shop has been known since 1621, almost 400 years," his message read. Thaksin's daughter Paethongtarn also posted his photo taken at a seaside village on her Instagram page. She said he wrote to her, "Come to Montenegro to renew passport due to run[ning] out of pages. Now ready to conquer the world." Paethongtarn, Thaksin's youngest daughter, explained that his Montenegrin passport ran out of space for stamping. She said that he used the passport to enter Germany. Thaksin's Thai passports, re-issued to him during the previous government led by his sister Yingluck, were again revoked |by the Foreign Ministry.

But yes he does have passports from 2 countries, no doubt bought, but both countries have close to zero respect internationally. and neither are working democracies.

Manbing Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I assume he needs a replacement because without his diplomatic status, he is subject to the same inflated administrative requirements we all encounter. Too late to fix them now sucker, and how quickly those tautologically conflated travel documents fill up. Depending on how supercilious the immigration dude feels on the day.

Interpol doesn't get involved in internal disputes. Actually because the Abhisit government started to ask, but needed to get a few documents translated, then the Yingluck government dropped things and the Prayut government rather has him out of the country. Anyway, Thaksin still unfazed, still going on that having his Thai passports revoked doesn't matter, and a few posters obfuscating as usual. It's almost as if it does hurt, it does matter.

dick turpin Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just HAS to get into the headlines. Make sure you don't forget me me me me me !! Not really. It is a convenient way of telling the Thai military administration that the revocation of his Thai passport hasn't caused him any significant inconvenience. In layman's terms, he just gave the finger to the General. Curiously, I view it the opposite way. He has just had to undergo the now public ignominy of having to travel to Montenegro to obtain travel documents which he thought he would not require. Making life just that little more awkward for the miserable old sod......and this is what this game is all about..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrylSky Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Funny how I can get thrown in jail, then prison, then jail again and then deported for letting my visa expire while I was in the hospital with a head injury (I've since been readmitted with a resident visa) - and someone like Taksin can "renew" his passport while on the run and a fugitive?
