Thailand tightens deportation rules for foreigners, targets criminals
Thailand's Cabinet approved a draft regulation empowering authorities to deport foreigners who violate laws, overstay visas, work without permits, or receive prison sentences of three years or more. Eligible offenders will be removed within 30 days of release, with deportation costs covered by state funds. The Council of State is reviewing the draft before it takes effect.
