If you read my previous posts, I do not recommend doing so. I would never tell something to do it while in Thailand. I have immigrated to Canada and I understand the complexity of immigration and all the rules. However, sometimes people have very special circumstances and they need to find solution that can bypass the system without hurting anybody or stealing from the host country. In my case, my law firm that I deal with for other matter and that has been successful for me offered to do it while I was in Thailand but I ended up going back to Canada and got it in 3 days.
You are right but you are bringing your western point of view and we were raised with those dogmas in our head. There are many grey areas in those systems. But best not discuss it here.
You may be right but you may be wrong. You are making an interpretation, his message is not clear and until he confirms that he applied from Thailand you are just farting in the air like a good pot head.
The Thai government stamps the passport and collect your fingerprints when you leave the country. How can a guy cheat the system....You will also understand that this country is not run like our western country. What seems illegal to you does not seem illegal to them.
I understand your frustration. This is however typical immigration process.
When I applied for my permanent residency in Canada, I made one tiny mistake in spelling and my entire application got rejected after being in the system for months. It took me another 1.5 years to be successful as the program changed after I got rejected.
