Phuket Immigration Investigates Alleged Russian Vehicle Rental Shop

[webfact]

 

Phuket – Phuket Immigration inspected a vehicle rental shop in Mueang Phuket after they were notified by concerned citizens that the business was allegedly entirely Russian owned and employed Russian staff illegally, without involving any Thai nationals.

Phuket Immigration officers told The Phuket Express over the past weekend that they had inspected a vehicle rental shop in Wichit, Mueang Phuket. A concerned citizen reported that the shop was allegedly owned by a Russian and employing Russians. The name of the shop was withheld by Phuket Immigration.

 

Immigration officers found that the owner had a legal rental vehicle business license. Two Russian men and a Kazakhstani man were also found with legal work permits. The Phuket Express noted that the officers did not reveal additional details about their work permits, such as the exact type of work they were allowed to perform.

The question is "under which table were these permits issued?"

It is my understanding that 4 Thais must be employed for every foreigner.  If that is not the case, who issued the work permits!
