PHUKET, March 16 (TNA) – Immigration police in Phuket set up a special unit to extend the visas of the Russian and Ukrainian tourists who cannot return to their homeland due to the Russia-Ukraine war.

 

The special service targeted the tourists who did not want to return to their countries to avoid the impacts of the war and those whose direct flights to Russia were canceled.

This special unit, are they also going to stop the Ukranians from punching the Russians in the face ? 

 

Would not be surprised to hear about the first Russian death at an immigration office

More than one Russian will needs something more than a visa, their accounts are blocked.

The Russian Embassy must be a busy place.
