A 35-year-old Brazilian national, whose name was not disclosed, was arrested by Thai immigration officers at Phuket International Airport on the morning of 15 June, after it was discovered that he was the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant related to a traffic offence.

 

The arrest took place at approximately 10:30, in the international departures area of the airport, where the man was preparing to leave the country. Officers from the Immigration Bureau, conducting standard routine checks as part of their border security operations, identified the individual through the immigration watchlist system.

 

According to officials, the man was wanted for breaching The Road Traffic Act. While specific details of the offence were not disclosed, authorities confirmed that the matter was serious enough to warrant legal action, resulting in the issuance of an arrest warrant.

 

Following his detention, the suspect was taken into custody and transferred to Phuket Provincial Court, where he will face legal proceedings in accordance with the law.

 

Thai immigration authorities have reminded all foreign nationals to ensure that they have no pending legal issues or unresolved charges before attempting to enter or depart the Kingdom. Routine checks at airports and border crossings often reveal individuals who may be unaware that they are the subject of legal action.

 

Travellers who are concerned about their legal status in Thailand are advised to contact legal advisors or local immigration support services.

It’s probably a good idea to pay parking fines before exiting the country.
