Yesterday, April 30, immigration police in Chiang Mai apprehended a Chinese national for overstaying his tourist visa. The arrest ensued from a collaborative operation between the Chiang Mai Provincial Immigration Bureau and Immigration Division 5, taking place on Thipanet Road in the Mueang district.

 

The man was charged with overstaying his permitted duration in Thailand. Authorities ensured he was informed of his legal rights and charges before transferring him to the Chiang Mai City Police Station for further legal proceedings. Steps to deport him back to China are currently in motion.

 

The detainee admitted to not applying for a visa extension after its expiration, in an attempt to avoid detection by law enforcement. He was ultimately captured by immigration police investigators.
