TNA reported that Thai Immigration are proposing much stiffer penalties for failing to report foreigners staying at addresses in Thailand.
They have referred to the present time under the command of immigration chief Lt-Gen Surachate Hakpan as the "Big Joke Era" referencing the chief's well known nickname.
Laws dating back to 1979 are not sufficient in the modern day especially when it comes to reporting the whereabouts of foreigners. They are considered to be too New penalties will see fines of 10,000 baht levied.
The penalties will be even stiffer for hotels and other establishments who harbor migrants for financial gain or profit with jail terms of up to 5 years and fines of 100,000 baht for failing to report.
This seems to relate to not reporting the presence of workers.
Pol Col Pongnakhorn Nakornsantiphap who heads a committee recommending changes said that Lt-Gen Surachate wanted to bring Thailand in line with other countries' regulations.
In addition stiffer penalties are promised for airlines and individuals who permit individuals to board planes and enter Thailand without onward tickets - he was referencing the case of the Saudi woman who fled her country because of an enforced marriage.The committee has been working on eleven main changes to immigration rules and penalties since January.
Other changes include the stamps that will be used by immigration. A new flag shaped design is in the offing.

Til tross for at dette er interessant informasjon så viser jeg til forumdreglene:

Hvis du siterer innhold fra andre nettsteder skal du kun sitere ingress. Kopiering av hele artikler er IKKE tillatt.

Å kopiere hele artikler er som reglene viser ikke tillatt, og når i tillegg overskrift er kopiert i sin helhet er det lett for søkemotorer å indeksere slikt.

Dette gjør det lettere for nettsteder som kan hevde vi kopierer åndsverk uten tillatelse. Asianet.no kan i verste fall stilles ansvarlig og kreves betaling for dette.

Asianet.no er også et norsk forum så engelske overskrifter er heller ikke ønskelig.

For fremtiden så vil slik kopiering IKKE tillates og skjules uten forvarsel.

Tråden stenges for videre kommentarer. Er det noe som ønskes diskusjon rundt må det opprettes en ny tråd hvor man har noe å si om tema!
