    I've never had dealings with BKK immigration, only Division 4 out here in Buriram, Korat and Kap Cheong, over the years, and I find them very obnoxious. Never a year goes by where there isn't some kinda problem when visiting their offices. They neither do the 90 day report by mail or online. Tuther year we all got home visits whether on a retirement extension or a marriage extension whereby we had to have two character witnesses in attendance to verify we were of good standing and gave our wives money. What the fcuks it got to do with them? Anyways I fooking hate the tossers.

    I think it must be you. I have dealt with the same offices for a long time and never really had a problem but then I never go there with any expectations either.
    As for the 90 day report online, the guy in the Buriam office told me that I could do it online if I wanted to but I haven't tried it yet and won't for another 6 months as my next trip is to get the yearly extension. As for a home visit we got one for the first time last year so i just assummed that someone was actually enforcing their policy.
    I have noticed on my last 2 visits thast their new boss has them all coming to work in their uniforms and making the guys have a haircut every week (so I was told by one of them).

    So maybe you should try going there with a smiley face (555).

    Cheers

    Well, Prag, you should take some small comfort in the fact that the wankers you deal with are victims of their own heritage. Our wealth, and their lack of it are rubbed in their faces on a daily basis. Many moon ago the long lines of Thai’s trying to get a visa to escape wrapped around the block. You don’t see ‘em today because of embassy appointment only policies.

    When I rented, my rent alone far exceeded the IO’s salary. It takes an IO ages to amass an THB 800k fortune. (personal family experience 20+ years of scrimping and saving netted a hardworking family member a "nest egg“ fortune of almost THB 500k).

    We have passports and moneys that allow us to visit and/or live in just about any country we desire to. The typical Thai has difficulty visiting/vacationing in another country.

    So, for me, those facts are what I dwell on if I get frustrated – I can do whatever I damn well please – by comparison, they can’t do squat.
