He was attempting to leave the country - normally a fine is payable and you're on your way. Not a Phuket though - things seem to work differently there. Is there a reward for finding a foreigner on overstay? 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, can´t get one, as it´s an occupation reserved for Thais. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was attempting to leave the country - normally a fine is payable and you're on your way. Not a Phuket though - things seem to work differently there. Is there a reward for finding a foreigner on overstay? There has been a couple of cases reported at Phuket where overstayers have been arrested rather than just allowed to depart. Considering the high volume of tourists and others who visit Phuket I'm sure scores of overstayers continually depart from there without being carted back to detention. The obvious reasons for the arrests would be that they face other charges, and the Police won't allow then to escape overseas. Happens in most countries, it's not unusual for wanted crims to be placed on Australia's alert system, for example. The surfeit of English language reporting of all things Phuket may also be a factor in these cases being highlighted while they go unnoticed elsewhere.

Would be nice to have that clarified even once when this kind of thing happens but so far it's never happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
