CrazyExpat Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Tourists who can genuinely prove they are traveling in Thailand for tourism purposes will be allowed re-entry to Thailand after the August 13th immigration law change date. “Genuine tourists are fine.” Lt Gen Pharnu Kerdlarpphon “All [tourists] have to do is prove at the border checkpoints that they really are tourists by presenting evidence…” This evidence includes travel itineraries, hotel bookings, tour bookings or any other form of document that can verify their travel in the country is as a genuine tourist. The change in rules at the borders which will come into effect on August 13th, are in place to prevent the abuse of the Visa-exemption re-entry stamps that many foreigners acquire to remain in Thailand to work. The visa is meant for tourists only. If any foreigner is found illegally working on a tourist visa they will be deported from Thailand and banned for five years under the new plans. The plans are said to target Russians, South Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese nationalities, who allegedly abuse the system the most. http://www.chiangmaicitynews.com/news.php?id=3863 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
