And hey here is a novel idea, lets stop invading, bombing and interfering with other countries and maybe we wouldn't have so many refugees knocking around, funny that. Unfortunately that is a totally irrelevant concept you have, but hey never mind there are so many people currently in denial, so you are not alone.

And instead of getting help, he is being taken advantage of. I guess my question would be why he did not go to one of the UN NGO and seek asylum or something. I have an issue with a refugee that can pay that kind of money. This is a close one a person on overstay that is working illegally with money(?) versus the Thai police, Thai immigration police, and others. Not sure who to believe this one could be somewhere in the middle. How old is the son? If he is over 18 then he probably got picked up for not having a visa of his own, overstay and who knows. In that case, it would be legal to detain. Detaining a kid I just do not see happening. Personally, I think someone got caught on overstay and is trying to get out of it. Hell, he could have paid the fine left the country and come back in before the new rules took effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European countries, particulay Germany, will regret their stupidity. I think the barber has done a number of dumb things..... overstaying, paying conmen, and reporting to the police.

The only Syrian refugees are those in refugee camps in Syria and surrounding countries. Those who can afford air tickets and B 15 k bribes per month are well off economic immigrants. You don't have to be poor to be affected by a war zone. Look at Aleppo... I would flee, i would take my family and I would make sure I have access to my money.

I am sure their visas would not stand much scrutiny. IF his claim is found to be true. Notice that's a BIG if. If I was a wealthy Syrian and was stupid enough to overstay 4 years, discovered I could not buy off anyone in Immigration, with all the stories of extortion of foreigners in the media, I might have thought out the same scam. However at the same time he WAS able to fly under the radar for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in the USA immigrants will usually be ripped off by their own people before Americans. My first wife was originally from Korea, she learned fast that when people threw her the line, "Trust me we same Korean, (or same asian)" she knew to walk away.

The standard of English of many posters on TV is absolutely appalling. Judging by your name you are from UK so you should be even more ashamed of yourself. I find it is not often ignorance but being lazy. Using suggested words and phrases on a smartphone.

Edit: As I recall, the wealthy are often the first ones to be targeted, since they have something to steal. 55555555 yes? Iremember receiving many emails from wealthy Nigerians needing assistance getting their wealth out of Africa. Usually the truly wealthy are the cause of the uprisings.

How difficult would it have been to keep their visas current like most foreigners? In his case it would have been very difficult. I doubt he could return to Syria to get a METV which requires issuing in home country I think. He probably could not get a retirement visa. If he had money, and if he even got into Thailand legally in the first place, he could have gotten an Elite visa. So if he was legit, there are ways he could have stayed. So things just don't add up.
