News Forum - Elderly British man overstays visa in Thailand by 11 years
It's not a case of either visas only or no visas altogether, so let's ignore that cynicism. Anyone who has been a resident for over 10 years has clearly invested into this country, both emotionally as well as financially. How about a compromise to cover most cases: after 10 years of legal yet semi-permanent residency (and without criminal infractions), the status can be upgraded to permanent residency. Offer Thai passports for say THB 250,000 a piece. Those 10's of 1000s (which is peanuts compared to the population size) have no intention of leaving and it could inject an additional THB 2.5B into the economy. Many (including me) would accept that offer. -

I get it:This was a wrongful act, and he will suffer the penalty for it. However, in the absence of evidence of his engaging in harmful or hurtful activities, I think he can be spared the villification. His is an administrative wrong doing. He will be deported and will never come back. -
