Enforcement of the 90 days reporting requirement

[Bit Beefy]

This notice was sent out by one of the foreign chambers of commerce today:

"ENFORCEMENT OF THE 90 DAYS REPORTING REQUIREMENT

The Immigration Bureau and the Royal Thai Police are now enforcing the
requirement of expatriates to report their place of residence in writing to an
immigration Office every 90 days in accordance with Section 37 (5) of the
Immigration Act 2522.

In the event that the report is not made or is delayed by more than seven days
a penalty of up to THB 5,000 will apply.

Members are advised to comply with this requirement and to complete the
standard form in order to avoid being fined and potential delays in the
processing of their visas."

Just goes to show you the idioticy of the Brit Immigration people. Quite happy to let in murders and people trafficers but the gentle thai ? No way.

We only have ourselves to blame because these idiots in the embassey need to be told and we just sit back and let 'em roll over us as usual. These and successive governments just rail road us all the time.

I am a bit confused. This is refering to the THAI immigation bureau asking all non-Thais in the Kingdom to report in each 90 days? Nothing to do with Brits, right?

This policy has been on the books for decades and has never been enforced. May have to check thaivisa.com to get the skinny on this one. It would be a real hassle if true.

Put your "guns" away your not shooting straight. The enforcement might just possibly due to the fact that several Thai ministers have been turned downed for visa's to the UK - that's due to the brits right ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We do own/live in the UK !

Now you can play with your own pistol again in your nice sandpit.

More tea vicar ?
