The Immigration Bureau again reminds foreign citizens that the delay in the report, which must be submitted every 90 days, will now be punished not only by a one-time fine, but also by an additional fine for each day of delay. This innovation was introduced a couple of years ago, however, many foreigners are still not aware of this and break the rules by doing nothing.
Now the website of the Immigration Bureau has up-to-date information on late fees, but you still need to be careful when checking the rules on official resources and contacting consultants. After all, a delay can entail not only financial losses, but also serious consequences, up to expulsion from the country.
Here is the cost of the fine that will be charged:
If a person himself came to the bureau and informed about the delay in the report - a fine of 2,000 baht.
If he was arrested - a fine of 5 thousand baht and 200 baht will be charged for each overdue day of the report.
In addition, the Bureau of Immigration recommends that foreign nationals keep a close eye on visa expiration dates and submit reports on time to avoid trouble. In addition, by consulting with specialists, you can learn about other changes in legislation that may affect your stay in the country and the procedure for processing documents.
Foreign citizens who are in Surat Thani on annual visas must be careful and responsible, follow the rules and file reports in a timely manner to avoid trouble. The new rules and penalties for delay remind of this once again.
