Russian Man Arrested in Phuket with 351 Days of Overstay

[webfact]

 

Phuket –A Russian man was arrested in Koh Kaew, Phuket City after he was found to have overstayed his legal visa by 351 days.

Phuket Immigration told the Phuket Express that earlier this week they arrested a suspect identified only as MR. SERGEY, a 46 year old Russian national, on a road in a housing estate in Koh Kaew.

 

The arrest followed after the Phuket Immigration officers found through their computer system that MR. SERGEY was overstaying.

I think it's the immigration computer system taking the law lightly. 351 days.

Wow...

So he'll only be banned from entering Thailand again for 5 years. Had he been nabbed 15+ days later (allowing for the fact that 2024 is a leap year), he would have received a 10-year ban!

maybe they should run a search on their computers and share exactly how many overstay people are in thailand and then go try and find them and arrest and deport them?....seems pretty simple for a computer program to match people who arrived for xxx days and compare to see if they also departed druing their permitted time of stay

 

i guess then they would need to actually  resist the urge to accept a fat envelope from many to look the other way...

Hey, that's being too reasonable. The cops greedy wives need the latest I-phone 17 and a new Toyota Fortuner plus a Platinum card to show off at the mall with to their rich girlfriends. I feel great compassion for all these honest cops who are forced to keep their consumer women happy.

These stories just get more confusing by the day, is it just me?

He entered Thailand with a NON-IMMIGRANT 90 day visa *5 years ago in September*  his visa expired in April last year.  Did I miss something? 

Why does Goong still have a job or is just Thai Maths?

Good bye, Russky. One way ticket 👍

[Stargeezr]

Wow, almost one year overstay should be at least a 10 year if not longer ban for this guy.

IMO, I wonder if being Russian he will get a lesser time?

If they have an i-phone 17 those wives are well ahead of the game.....

He'll likely be arrested after deportation to Russia. I doubt even a 10 year ban would make much difference - he won't 'be back'! 😄

[agogohome]

Only one? Gosh these Russian's must be well behaved!
