The Thai cabinet approved a draft regulation on July 14 that would allow authorities to deport foreigners for conduct considered deviant or inconsistent with Thai social norms. The regulation lists six offense categories including illegal entry, overstay, and unlawful employment, and mandates deportation within 30 days after a sentence for serious crimes. It is currently under review by the Office of the Council of State.

Context — no action needed.
