Blacklisting proposed for foreigners who overstay in Thailand
BANGKOK: New tougher rules on foreigners overstaying their permits to stay in Phuket are probably on the way, the ThaiVisa.com website reports today (July 7).
Overstayers will be put on a blacklist and barred from the country for a period after they leave.
Thaivisa.com reported that it had seen the proposal detailing the tough new measures for foreigners who overstay in Thailand.
The Phuket News received confirmation today from a source in Immigration Headquarters, who asked not to be named, that a proposal along these lines has been made to the Ministry of Interior, which is expected to approve it “soon”.
ThaiVisa reported that the proposed measures, which will see overstayers of more than 90 days blacklisted, are as follows:
If foreigners “surrender” (usually by presenting themselves at Immigration when leaving the country) they will be barred from returning for a period that will depend on how long they have overstayed. The periods proposed are:
Overstay of more than 90 days: Barred from re-entering the kingdom for one year.
Overstay of more than one year: Barred from re-entering for three years.
Overstay more than three years: Barred from re-entering for five years.
Overstay more than five years: Barred from re-entering for 10 years.
Overstay more than 10 years: Barred for life.
