Why to Never Overstay Your Visas In the future we make get a Visa Trust Rating, people the have a history of obeying the Visa rules and laws will enter and leave country with less problem.
I am sorry sir, we do not trust you to leave as agreed.

“Frequent travellers who never outstay their visas and possess biometric passports would gain fast-track entry.”
I have overstayed the permission to be in a country one time, and this was in Thailand for two days. The overstay cost me 5 dollars per day. More or less this is some money making gimmick for Thailand.
Being illegally in countries is common, however as the world connects all the computers database there will come a day when they may just deny entry to you…
You walk up to the desk, hand the person your passport, the officer behind the desk swipes your passport over the readers. He or she than says, - I am sorry sir, you cannot enter, we see you have overstayed you Visa in Thailand one time, and two times in the Philippines. -

I find all this vaguely worrying. Especially since the blub in my passport 'requests and requires' in the name of the Queen, that I be permitted entry 'without let or hinerance'... hmmmIt's a dark time when the government I elect to serve me starts requiring me to do things for them... Someone needs to remind them we're in charge of them, not the other way!
