Some of the arrested men at Phuket Immigration HQ today

Phuket Immigration Nabs Indians With Passports But No Entry Stamps

Thursday, June 5, 2014
PHUKET: Three Indians arrested on Phuket were able to produce passports but the documents showed no entry stamps for Thailand, Immigration police said today.

''We are puzzled as to how they entered the country,'' an officer said. Held and facing fines before deportation as illegal immigrants were Angrei Singh, 26, Rakesh Singh, 27, and Ranveer Singh, 29.

The three were pulled over while walking along Phuket Road, Talad Yai.

Syrian Amer Tamim, 28, was nabbed at the bus station today with a visa that expired on March 13.

Earlier, Nigerian Paulchiboy Anasoh, 25, was arrested in the carpark at Robinson department store. His visa expired on December 22.

All of the men are likely to face court fines before being deported.

You can easily enter Thailand without going through immigration. Ask any person who arrives by boat.

Not only by boat. I know of at least 2 land crossings where this is very easy to do, sometimes even by accident.

And guys, what about unprotected borders eg anywhere along the Mekong or Burmese and Cambodian borders.
