webfact Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Former honorary consul held for selling counterfeit visa stamps to Thailand By Suriya Patatayoh The Nation POLICE HAVE arrested a former honorary consul for allegedly producing counterfeit entry visa stamps and immigration documents and selling them to Russians wishing to come to Thailand. Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpan, acting immigration department chief, said the arrest of Kuliushin Vitalii in Phuket province was in response to a court-ordered arrest warrant against him. “Police sought charges against him for falsifying official documents and fraud, as well as for violating the Computer Act and possibly harming the national security,” he said. Thailand often appoints local people as honorary consuls in different countries to help facilitate immigration work. Vitalii, 60, had held the position in Vladivostok, Russia but his appointment was revoked by a Cabinet resolution in 2006. Responding to a request from the Consular Affairs Department of the Foreign Ministry, police found that Vitalii ran a website where he advertised his services, claiming that he was still authorised to do immigration processes, such as stamping visas and certifying documents. He allegedly collected about 5,400 rubles (Bt2,700) in fees from each customer. Surachet told reporters that the Russian’s alleged acts violated multiple laws, including the Computer Act. “The suspect had committed more than 100 offences before coming to Thailand and lying low,” he said.

Briggsy Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The stupid bit was coming to Thailand. When you have been caught doing something clearly illegal, do not then fly halfway across the world to the one jurisdiction where you can be arrested and imprisoned for years. I can only assume he must have had protection from somebody in Thai officialdom and that protection must have expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe his Thai 'contacts' were still collecting their share (a reason not to insist about getting that stamp back, or not issuing another, new, different one...). Na-ah, not possible, Thais don't do that, they are honest people, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
