A 34-year-old Russian man was arrested on Pha-Ngan Island in Surat Thani for 993 days of overstaying his legal visa conditions.
Immigration officers told the Phuket Express that recently they have arrested a Russian national at a resort on the island.
He is now at 993 days of overstaying his legal visa according to police. He was taken to the Koh Pha-Ngan Police Station to face overstaying charges and is waiting to be deported.
The arrest followed the Surat Thani Immigration officer’s bid to crackdown on overstaying foreigners in Thailand. Such monitoring includes random passport checks of foreigners, which are legal in Thailand.
