Mosha Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 When they visited last time to vet the application details, they said it will probably be a monthly visit. Sure enough we've just had immigration up here again, it's a 70 km round trip for them. Must have nothing better to do. One asked If I had tried tapping the trees. Even if I had I'm not daft enough to admit I had, I'm asleep when that's going on. However is anyone else getting this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneyboy Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Where are you living,maybe then others in your area may be able to comment,as this may only be specific to your area for some reason,immigration in Thailand varies immensely across the country,it's certainly not plain sailing everywhere.

Out in the sticks of Ranong, nearest Ex Pat is about 20 km away. Last time they said they wanted to know it wasn't an address of convenience, why can't they just call the local police who see me often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on a retirement extension and has been told the visits will be monthly. Looks like Ranong going their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falang07 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I would report such harassment to the authorities in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Actually the intent may be to help those foreigners as they have been directed to do in the past. Some offices will consider such personal visits to be a way to understand needs of such foreigners and not take it as harassment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) If they are happy with a soda, a fruit juice or a coffee I would not have a problem But really it would bother me. I want to be free to travel and be out whenever I wish. I hate to have schedules / appointments. Thats not what I came to Thailand for.

Especially when they arrive mob handed. 4 of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If you are not in they generally talk to the neighbours to confirm that you still live there and are all legit. I think they will give up after a few visits unless by visiting you they get to have the day off or a few hours in a nice restaurant enroute or some other benefit.

They call 1st, but the neighbours better co-operate if they don't want to feel the wife's wrath, 1 is her daughter, the other is her sister. Next nearest is 1/2km away.
