Pattaya police yesterday arrested a Taiwanese man on charges of money laundering. Additionally, they discovered that he had overstayed his visa validity by over 430 days, equivalent to approximately a year and five months.

 

Officers from the Sub-division 2 Tourist Police Division 1 and Chon Buri Provincial Immigration Office were alerted by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand about a 27 year old Taiwanese man, Hung Hua Wang, who escaped a money laundering charge in Taiwan and was hiding in Pattaya.

 

Officers conducted a further investigation and discovered that Hung entered Thailand on a tourist visa on May 22, 2021. His visa allowed him to stay until November 18, 2022, but there was no record of him leaving the country.

 

The investigation led officers to his accommodation, a hotel on Pattaya Sai Sam Road. Officers closely monitored the accommodation until Hung arrived at the location. Hung was arrested outside the hotel and taken to police headquarters.
