HAT YAI: - Senior Immigration officer based in southern Thailand, said that the Immigration officers at the border crossings in question are under strict orders to enforce Thailand’s existing rules and regulations regarding foreigners entering the Kingdom.
In southern Thailand of foreign nationals being refused entry into the Kingdom after trying to re-enter using a 60 day tourist visa, whilst also having a history of multiple previous visa exemptions (border runs) in their passports.
Individuals who have a history of 15/30 day border runs and who are then trying to enter with a new 60 days tourist visa from Penang, have been refused entry.
Foreigners in Thailand should be reminded that it has always been the case that entry to Thailand is at the discretion of Immigration officers.
We must also stress that we do not know if this is a temporary measure at the aforementioned border crossings or an indication of a permanent crackdown on foreigners using the incorrect visa class.
