Cabinet backs deportation for 'deviant' conduct
The cabinet approved a draft regulation on July 14 that would allow authorities to deport foreigners whose conduct is deemed incompatible with Thai morals and social norms. The regulation also mandates deportation within 30 days after completion of a sentence for serious crimes, and allows use of state funds for deportation costs. Expats should be aware that vague 'deviant' conduct could trigger deportation.
