Immigration authorities have revoked the permission of stay, of a 25-year-old Belgian national after he was involved in two separate public disturbances at convenience stores in Chonburi province within a single week.

 

Mr Mustafa Hakan Aslan, a Belgian citizen, was first arrested on 26 April 2025 by Bang Lamung Police Station for damaging property at a Tops Daily convenience store. He was reportedly intoxicated and acting erratically in a public area. Although the shop agreed to drop the charges after Mr Aslan paid 35,000 baht in compensation, the incident was formally documented.

 

Just four days later, in the early hours of 30 April, Mr Aslan was again reported to have caused a scene, this time at a 7-Eleven store near Soi Yensabai in Pattaya. Witnesses stated he appeared to be heavily intoxicated and was behaving violently. Although no damage was reported and the store chose not to press charges, police from Pattaya City Station escorted him to Pattaya Pattamnakorn Hospital to ensure he did not pose a threat to himself or others.

 

In response to these repeated incidents, Chonburi Immigration Bureau, under the direction of Pol. Maj. Gen. Panumas Boonyalak, revoked Mr Aslan’s temporary stay permission. The decision was made on the grounds that his behaviour violated Thai laws and cultural norms, and posed a risk to public peace and safety.

 

Immigration authorities cited Section 12(7) of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522, which allows for the deportation of any foreigner deemed a danger to society or public order. Mr Aslan has been categorised as a prohibited person and will be barred from re-entering the country.

 

A spokesperson for Chonburi Immigration stated:

 

“Foreign visitors must not only respect Thai laws but also adhere to the customs and traditions of the Kingdom. Mr Aslan’s repeated disorderly conduct demonstrates a clear disregard for both.”

 

Mr Aslan was informed of the revocation and is currently being held pending deportation. His details have been added to the national watchlist to prevent his return to Thailand.

Cue all the usual posters to say he can't be Belgian with a name like that....

Better known as Mad Mustafa, whoever dumped him on the plane to Thailand can look after him now

I pity the embassy staff having to waste time and energy visiting such a basket case in deportation jail and organise/finance his repatriation. That's what generous immigration and naturalisation policies lead to.

Eh??

What have "generous immigration and naturalisation policies" got to do with this?

Let him make Belgium great again!

I wonder if an Airline would accept him knowing he's behaved like this, twice... 

 

I certainly wouldn't want to be on a flight with someone so mentally unhinged...
