Show us your tweets: US unveils nosy new visa questionnaire Some travelers seeking admission to the US are being handed a new form, requiring them to disclose biographical information going back 15 years and social media handles going back five. The temporary measure was fast-tracked by the Trump administration. The White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the new supplemental questionnaire on May 23, according to Reuters. The form requests visa applicants to list information about their employment, place of residence, and foreign travel over the previous 15 years, as well as user names for any social media platforms “used to create or share content” for the previous five years. www.rt.com/usa/390516-us-visa-form-social-media/

Last time in samui immigration on a year extention they asked about facebook profile, bars where i drink, places i go regularly. Also last year we had a knock on the door and immigration came waltzing in, made the wife and i sit on our bed together and photographed us. Asked ridiculous questions for 30 minutes, took a reasonably big bribe, said if i'm ever one day overstay will be blacklisted from Thailand for 5 years, and left. This after 20 years residing here. Makes me sick thinking foreigners can just take a dingy to my country and we throw them a passport, give them a free house, loadsa dosh and tell them bring all your rellies and mates too! Hows that for a whine? Ffs

Mind you, after twenty years in Thailand, did you already get your permanent residency permit? Apply for full citizenship ?
