MJCM Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yes at the moment they are still relaxed but not for long. The royal decree on the blacklisting is expected to be promulgated in late March, said bureau chief Pol Maj Gen Natthorn Prosunthorn. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/877278-overstay-blacklisting-starts-in-march/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2fishin2 Posted December 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ur right why should a 14year over stayer get in any trouble. Why should we look down upon him? Just because he broke the law (one that responsible) people like some of us follow, didnt have to do his part with immigration you get what im saying....yeah right im going to cut anybody who overstays even a gram of slack. Not in this lifetime actually if I knew of a person that had overstayed for such a length of time I would have turned him in 13 years ago.

Must live a bloody horrible life. Actually it might affect in many direct and / or indirect ways: 1. If an over-stayer illegally runs a business competing with a business which runs by the rules, the illegal business has many advantages as no visa / work permit / tax paid like the legal business. 2. Many people with legal status suffer more and more difficulties to obtain their extension of stay because of all the visa runners and over-stayers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jspill Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Has no proven effect on visa regulations. Debatably repeated tourist visa runs have more of an effect, judging by reports of how moody consulate staff get when they see you've had 'too many' stickers. Contrast that to reports of the airport police desk being all smiles. I've experienced it too, the 20k fine gets tossed in a drawer, you sign a piece of paper and you're on your way, not sure if its even recorded as happening. Seems counter-intuitive but these under the radar overstayers who don't work for Thai employers or deal drugs on Soi 3 could be a net positive by not making dozens of TR visa applications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) So if someone were to do a 10 year overstay versus (in theory) 10 years of single entry visas with a one month extension, that would be 20,000 baht after 10 years for the overstay fine versus 152,000 baht for the visas and extensions, but that might be a net benefit to the Kingdom based upon the decreased work load for Immigration and the respective embassies/Consulates?

Moonmoon Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Sometimes ppl can get into unwanted situations n problems whatever they might be and if you dont have the time to want to try and understand it then don't find the time to come n criticise them as well. I overstayed too n posted my experience and just wanted to encourage others to get their problems sorted and try to get back on the right track on the law but only to met with some ppl saying why I needed so long to come up with 20,000 baht? Yes it took me sometime maybe a long time but at least I did it by myself and settle my problems on my own. Anyways from what I feel about the blacklist law is that it might be there to frighten the overstayers to leave and pay money 20,000 baht so the government can make some money off this and I think there are alot of overstayers. In my opinion this law will keep coming up as it is going to be implemented every 6 or 7 mths but never gonna be implemented fully cos it can be a source of revenue.

BritTim Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If looking for record overstays, you probably need to consider old Burmese who have been here since they were babies. My guess is that you could easily find some of them on 60+ years of overstay. I dread to think what happens to them if they are picked up and deported. At their age, trying to sneak back in could be really difficult, and they probably could not go back to the town or village they have spent their whole lives.
