Popular Post webfact Posted July 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2023 Immigration Bureau commissioner Pol. Lt. Gen. Pakphumpipat Sajjaphan held a seminar on Thursday, July 6th, to equip immigration officers with the necessary skills to effectively address the issue of overstayers. Overstaying is when someone stays past the date of their legal visa without permission from Thai Immigration. Within the next three months, the number of overstayers should be reduced to zero, as they are more likely to engage in criminal activities, which can adversely affect Thailand’s tourism industry, Pol. Lt. Gen. Pakphumpipat said. He added that the immigration bureau would also develop complex investigative strategies to reach this goal of zero by focusing on dismantling networks involved in smuggling foreign individuals into the country. Immigration officers would be deployed regularly to conduct on-site passport checks at places, especially entertainment venues nationwide, and businesses would be required to report the accommodation of foreign individuals to the officers. Thai law allows random checks of foreign nationals to ensure they are legally residing within the Kingdom. It is also the law to have legal identification on one’s person at all times.

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted July 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2023 Looks like they will be also rounding up the migrants working without passports, extensions of stays or other needed documents to be in the country. Many H-So households better keep there housekeepers, maids, or Gardners inside and hidden. Factories will be loosing workers it would appear. This isn't just about tourists and expats I am afraid. 11 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need two guys standing outside checking passport of entering foreigners. Or, for example at both entrances to Soi Cowboy and entrance of Nana Plaza. Regarding passport, I will return the question. Do you believe that a copy of your legal id is considered to be same? 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
