  12. Hi there, I was deported from Thailand a year ago this June, this was due to being released from prison for a small drugs charge. I had no plans returning to Thailand but recently my father who lives there and also has a family there (wife and 1 child) has become extremely ill. It’s life threatening and is terminal. I would like to go and see him and wondered if that would be possible considering the circumstances. He has paperwork from the hospital explaining his condition if that would help too. Please could you advise me on what I can do.

    Thank you.

    I would like to let you know that I’m in title of a retirement visa issued on the 18 DEC 2015. I did took a flight back to France with a multiple re-entry, issued on 3 JAN 2016. I think that I was suppose to show that I still lived in Pattaya on “Baan Dok Mai Guesthouse” but I cannot come back in time, to have my passport stamped because due to family problems.

    Could you tell me please, what should I do to not be having a fine. As soon as I can come back to Pattaya I will present myself right away to the immigration offices. Could you please let me know any information about it.

    Thank you for your help.
