Thailand Tightens Visa Scrutiny to Block Transnational Crime

Thai authorities are intensifying border checks and visa extension screening as part of a broader push against transnational crime. The tougher approach follows orders for Immigration Police to pay closer attention at entry points and to scrutinise applications that may be linked to unrest in the Middle East. Officials say the goal is to stop criminals from exploiting legal loopholes to enter or remain in the country. The policy appears aimed at raising the bar for applicants whose circumstances trigger security concerns. It marks another sign that immigration enforcement is being treated as part of Thailand’s wider security strategy.


So having been married to a Thai for 20 years and lived here for 10 years I seem to be a prime suspect......hence the 90 mins it took for three people to inspect my visa extension documents.
