In our situation it leaned much more toward a criminal matter rather than a normal civil dispute. The scale and intent were far beyond a single post. We were dealing with thousands of fabricated pages, repeated false reports to government authorities, and even false reports through the NCSA and THNIC. He also submitted around a dozen false malware reports trying to get our domains blocked, which directly threatened our ability to operate. That goes past basic defamation and into a coordinated effort to cause harm.

Civil defamation is mostly about compensation or removing statements and we were not asking for damages. We only needed the attacks to stop. A civil case would take years and would not stop the person from continuing during the process, especially across borders.

Thai law allows criminal complaints when the defamation is intentional, repeated, and causes measurable harm to a business or the public. Because of the volume, the coordination, and the direct attempts to disrupt our operations, the criminal route was the only practical way to get authorities involved and create an official record that could actually stop ongoing harm rather than just argue about compensation later.

We were also completely new to dealing with something like this and we are still learning how a single person with no fixed base can move around the world, publish at scale, and possibly try to extort while avoiding authorities. From inside Thailand the process was already moving forward. He then left the country and openly mocked the warrant while continuing the same behavior from abroad, which shows exactly why a civil case on its own would not have protected us as well.

If you’re employed by a Thai company, they should be taking care of this for you.

If you’re not, and you’re working remotely, then there are other options available.

Actual denial of entry is happening but it has mostly to do with attempting to live long term in Thailand with exempt entries, and border bounces / visa runs.

You’re welcome to consult with our team anytime.

The easiest approach is to apply for your Non-O in your home country first, then open your Thai bank account afterward. Once these two steps are done, third-party agents in Thailand can handle your yearly extensions at a much lower cost.

We also offer a rush service for travelers who arrive on exempt entry or tourist status without completing these steps. In those cases we can assist with opening a bank account, securing the initial Non-O, and obtaining the yearly retirement extension, typically within 1 to 3 days.

With all the recent changes, getting your retirement visa sorted now is a smart move. Since you already meet the income requirement, the process can be very straightforward.

Your travel earlier this year won’t cause any issues if you arrive with the right visa. The easiest and most affordable path is to apply for your Non O in your home country before you fly. When you enter Thailand with a Non O, opening a bank account is simple and your past entries won’t matter. With that in place, our fee for the yearly extension is 15,000 THB and it’s usually completed in 1 to 3 days.

If you land without a visa and only have an exempt entry, and you still need a bank account, then agent services cost more. You would need to come to Bangkok for one day. We assist with opening your bank account on exempt entry, securing your Non O the same day, return your passport so you can fly back to your province, and then you can post your passport back to us for the 1 year extension. That part only takes a few days. This full package includes everything starting from exempt entry and results in a 15 month retirement visa plus a bank account (without needing to leave the country). Total cost is 60,000 THB.

If you prefer to continue entering on exempt entries despite having multiple past entries, we also offer a FastTrack and Safe Entry service. It’s usually 2,000 to 5,000 THB and helps ensure a smooth entry. You just need to contact us at least one day before arrival so we can check your history and arrange everything.

Current outage is related to Cloudflare which is preventing the official TDAC from allowing you to select the form.

Maybe try to stay out 15+ days each time and it should not be a issue, as he is returning to his home country.

@Stephen *******

It shouldn’t be a problem.

Traveling from your home country is usually fine, especially with more than 30 days between each trip.

We offer FastTrack + Prescreening which would make your 2nd entry easier, and you can fully extend your first 60 day without worry.

This can be requested with your TDAC any amount of days before your trip through:

This is mostly related to exempt entry, we do not expect any issues for APEC card holders.
