7 foreigners arrested for overstaying visas in Thailand


Seven foreign men – one Pakistani, two Egyptians, three Nigerians and one Myanmar national – have been detained by Thai police for overstaying their visas in Phuket.

The move is part of a 10-day crackdown on foreigners staying illegally on the popular resort island since July 23, Bangkok Post reported citing a source from immigration officers.

According to immigration authorities, five of them were found to have overstayed their visas by 46 to 213 days, Phuket Express reported.

The Nigerian man had managed to overstay his visa for 20 months and the Pakistani man had been illicitly residing in the country for three years and nine months.

Under Thailand’s law, the fine for a visa overstay is 500 baht (US$14) per day to a maximum of 20,000 baht.

Overstaying for 90 days or more can lead to deportation and a ban on entering the country again.

Thailand has received over 20 million foreign tourists so far this year.
