Thai MP Calls for Visa Policy Review to Tackle Scam Gangs
Picture courtesy: AMARIN TV People's Party MP, Rangsiman Rome, has urged the Thai government to reassess its visa-free entry policy to combat the rise of scam gangs allegedly operating across the Thai-Myanmar border. During a trip to the border town of Mae Sot in Tak province, Rome shared his concerns over the current border security measures' efficacy in preventing illegal activities. As the Chair of the House Committee on Security, Border Affairs, National Strategies, and National Reform, Rome met with the Rajamanu Task Force to discuss cross-border crime and call centre scams. The filter system in place has been deemed insufficient to deter foreign nationals either joining or being trapped into scam operations based in Myawaddy township. Rome pinpointed the need for heightened scrutiny over the visa-free entry system, as current measures cannot fully block foreigners intent on crossing over illegally. He emphasised the necessity for more extensive investigative strategies, possibly requiring individuals to obtain specific permission for entry into border areas. Though the Thai authorities have initiated strict measures since February 5, cutting off electricity, internet, and fuel to nearby Myanmar border towns like Myawaddy, these efforts may not suffice. Officials have imposed checkpoints at airports and border roads, yet natural crossing channels at night remain a viable escape route for those determined to breach borders. Rome also stressed the importance of international cooperation, mentioning a need for stronger actions against the Karen Border Guard Force leader, Saw Chit Thu. Despite the release of scam workers from complexes like Shwe Kokko and KK Park in Myawaddy, a substantial number remain trapped within these crime networks, potentially numbering in the tens of thousands. To sustain the pressure, Thai authorities are also looking into the prevention of critical supplies, such as solar panels and satellite internet services, from reaching the scam gangs. Collaboration across various agencies is underway to disrupt these illegal operations effectively. This ongoing issue underscores the significance of a robust and coordinated approach between Thai and Myanmar authorities while adapting existing entry policies to incorporate tighter security measures. As Thailand balances its thriving tourism sector with national security responsibilities, ensuring legal and safe entry becomes more crucial than ever, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2025-02-17 -
