Cabinet Approves First Deportation Rules for Illegal Foreigners
The Cabinet approved draft regulations establishing Thailand's first unified deportation procedures. The rules cover six grounds: illegal entry/stay, illegal work, violating the Foreign Business Act, using forged documents, committing crimes with a prison term of 3+ years, or acting as a principal/instigator/supporter of such offences. The Interior Ministry will handle deportations, and the process aims to speed removal of foreign nationals who break the law.
