A local mission led by the Immigration Bureau
covering the East and Central regions of Thailand resulted in arrests and fines
of up to 983 foreigners liable for overstaying their visas, reports the Pattaya Mail.
The three day mission prompted by the crackdown on
eight sex traffickers from China led to the discovery of 42 foreigners guilty
of overstaying and 161 who surrendered in the Pattaya area. Other eastern areas
found 911 foreigners chargeable for fines of overstaying.
Blacklisting in general is based on overstaying your
visa in Thailand. The consequences of a visa overstay include fines,
deportation and being
blacklisted from entering Thailand for a period of time.
Penalties include heavy fines and not being able to
return to the country for a corresponding amount of years that they have
overstayed their visa. Exceptions include overstaying more than five years that
results in a 10 year ban.
