another overstay

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

My visa ran out at the end of September while I was in prison. I was released a month later and instead of being deported the police let me go. In a month or so I will have the 30000 I need to pay the overstay and get a new visa.

My worry is if I can come back in because after jail one is supposed to return to ones home country. The last thing I need is being refused reentry.

Any useful ideas?

  • Why is he a jerk? Name calling is a bit non productive to the discussion dont you think?

  • No work for the 200b. But all have to work except for foreign inmates. Work pays about 30 baht a month. Weekends off. I've been in a Thai jail, you think I care what the moaners on here think? :-)

Whether you will banned from returning the country depends upon what you were put in jail for. Normally if is a banning type of offense they would of deported you.

I can't afford to do that.

UJ, am I reading you correctly that there are Banning and Non Banning offenses, even if you spend time in prison for the offense ??

Everyone is deported normally Joe. The governor and police told me. My offence was minor. I was only on remand for 3oz of weed.

Sorry I read wrong. I won't be banned.I'm concerned they know I haven't been back to Uk

I cannot see how not going to the UK would be a concern unless that was a condition for your release.

Not a condition. The law states all foreigners have to return to their home country on release.

Yes they are some. A misdemeanor would not result in a ban for example. A person can be fined for something minor and be jailed until it is paid or settled by getting a credit of 200 baht a day for time spent in detention.

Correct. I accrued 9600b on remand hence my release cos my expected fine was only 3000b. I still havnt been to court. The police only took my statement on release. Lol

^don't laugh too soon, as you haven't been to court yet, so who knows what they are going to say wai.gif

  • Author

I know already. 3000 baht fine.

I don't even have to attend.

I am assuming you are out on bail and therefore would be banned from leaving the country anyway?

I'm sure you can apply for a visa within Thailand that covers this sort of thing, UbonJoe will know better than me

PS expect lots of replies soon about what a scumbag you are and Thailand is better off without people like you from the TV lynchmob laugh.png

just out of curiosity if you gained a credit of 200 baht a day, did they make you do any work for that?

I've heard this before. You know why foreign inmates don't have to work? Because under Thai law they would each require a work permit!

And let's face it, do you think Somchai can bothered sorting out the work permit paperwork for thousands of foreign inmates!

Isn't life strange when you think about it. Bundles of atoms somehow become self-replicating and evolve into sentient beings. They roam freely. One day they form 'governments' and divide up the world into patches, imposing limits on stay in certain areas and outlawing the consumption of certain plants. All this takes place on a rock hurtling through infinite nothingness, around a ball of fire that will one day blow up and engulf everything, only for it to start all over again.

Yes, it is a funny old world.

so you are out on bail waiting court, do you still have your passport ?

I assume you are not allowed to leave until court and after that your options may be limited if you are convicted, a nasty judge might decide to jail you for more time - who knows

  • Author

I'm not out on bail. I've done 7 weeks on remand for a very small misdemeanor and the punishment is nowhere near that. The court don't have my passport cos I didn't give it to the police when I was arrested, just a photocopy. Its all very unorganized, no wonder real criminals manage to stay here.

  • Popular Post

Haha sorry to tell you this but you are a real criminal also, the fact that you have been charged and will plead guilty to a crime is a clue in this

If you think smoking weed is a crime then yeah.

Meanwhile Thailand has paedos here teaching primary kids.

It doesn't matter what I think, Smoking weed IS a crime in Thailand, that's why you were arrested

Paedophilia is a crime.. Smoking weed is a crime... Really not rocket science... You will be arrested for both...
