Anonymous participant 161 - career? I am sure you are an English teacher. Haha. I have only had 2 visas in 10 years. Not bouncing at all. I changed jobs and with it, my visa changed. Never been on a visa run ever.

Anonymous participant 161 - Def red flags. I am sure you have not been here 15 years and I am sure you have been stopped more often, hence your super focus on the matter. Not working with immigration, just using common sense. Not irritated at all, maybe slightly amused. Don’t get why the need to be anonymous. You some sort of VIP🤪?

Anonymous participant 161 - My apologies, I never said having a visa means immunity. My only argument was around this stupid statement you keep making around the randomness of these checks. We all know it isn’t random. immigration isn’t randomly selecting people to spend an hour plus being scrutinized. They are selecting people with potential red flags. You don’t like hearing that because you have been stopped twice, which implies you have red flags. However this is reinforced by the fact that you want to remain anonymous.

Anonymous participant 161 I get it, sketchy people use ED visas to stay here. They don’t learn anything, switch to a DTV and are surprised why they are still questioned for sketchy behavior. You keep stating that I need to understand what is happening here, but you clearly are confused because I do understand what is happening here. You keep trying to pretend that being pulled aside for hours is just a random spot check and not questioning the sus actions of specific people. There is a reason why these same people also maintain anonymous status, because they know they are participating in sus behaviors. I don’t even know what your question is and I don’t even know why you are a member of this page. Is this your girlfriend? Both of you doing dodgy stuff?

Anonymous participant 161 - I don’t know anyone with an ED visa. They are all anonymous like you. If you are on a Non-B, why are you on this page, especially causing problems while anon? Something doesn’t make sense with you. Are you one of those jaded folk trying to instill fear in people? Is it because of jealously, or just being disgruntled for no reason?

not canceled - but remember the years when the volunteer visa was the rage / was good for 3 years

Anonymous participant 161 ok, Mr. Anonymous. Never been a shady one on an ED visa at a land border. Sounds like you have.

Anonymous participant 161 10+ years here and 15+ entries on DTV. Never stopped or asked anything. Always strange that 99% of those who share their stories are anonymous. Sure there is more to the story than just a random “check”, but go ahead, pretend you know more than others.

What embassy did you get your visa via? How long were you already living in Phuket and on what visa?
