Ubudian. So maybe he visited Bali once, returned to the UK, then came back as a tourist and went AWOL. Wouldnt be the first. Why are you assuming he got a long term visa? He was a druggie. Do you really think he went through the correct channels? 17 ... Read More

"He was living in Bali...." So you assume he had a long term visa. More likely a tourist who then went AWOL. So no finger prints, no file, just a tourist. So for either assumption there are 2 scenarios re visas. So when I say there would ... Read More

My comment that they take fingerprints only now in an effort to thwart terrorism is correct, not bogus. Immigration have only started this from early this year for tourists entering on a 30 day visa. Like you now have to register your phone number ... Read More

Ubudian. How I chose to spend my well earnt money is up to me. If I chose to spend mega bucks for justice, and the return, of a stolen car, then that is my business. It doesn't advertise that Westerners have cash-to-splash, but means we take the ... Read More

Let's agree not to communicate Ubudian. I guessed that you were American. Lack of diplomacy. So if your wife's uncle was top of immigration, is this how you got to stay here? I didnt like your threat to Gwmeath. After 3000 posts maybe YOU ... Read More

Records do not go back 17 years. Yes they take finger prints etc but that is only a recent event because of the government's determination to crack down on terrorism. As for " the locals don't care", you have no idea of my ... Read More
