Ten Indian men, 24 Thai women arrested over fake-marriage scam

Police, in the ongoing crackdown on foreigners living unlawfully in the Kingdom, have arrested 10 Indian men and 24 Thai women on suspicion of involvement in a scam whereby fake marriages and false documents were used to extend the men’s stay in Thailand, the Immigration Police Bureau announced on Tuesday.

 

The suspects were among 30 Indian men and 30 Thai women wanted in court-issued arrest warrants for forging state documents, using forged documents and filing faulty information to state officials which may result in others’ damages, police told the press.

 

Immigration Police Bureau 1 in Bangkok had detected the fake marriages between the 30 men and 30 women, which were falsely documented in order to extend spousal visas for the men, most of whom made a living in Thailand as illegal moneylenders or salesmen for pay-by-installment goods such as clothing and electrical appliances, police explained. 

 

The 30 women allegedly colluded in the wrongdoing by being hired, reportedly for Bt500-Bt5,000 each, to register fake marriages and submit false documents to the authorities, police said.

 

Immigration Police Bureau 1 revoked the men’s visas and secured 60 arrest warrants for the male and female suspects. 

 

They subsequently arrested 10 of the wanted Indians and 24 of their Thai accomplices, and are continuing to look for the 26 fugitives. 

 

Police investigators have already presented evidence to revoke the suspects’ faulty marriage licences with the respective district offices.

surely if you're going to break the law like that you'd be just as well on overstay than going through the 'hoops' of obtaining an illegal permission to stay.

But i suppose they never thought it would catch up with them. They never do til it does

If one was to take notice of all the "Thai knockers" on here, one would be forgiven for thinking "Who in their right mind would ever want to go there"...yet, we see time after time just how far people are actually willing to go, breaking immigration laws....in order to do just that?

I was thinking exactly this.

 

I will absolutely guarantee this will prove to be the stupidest thing Thailand will do in a decade. More idiotic than buying submarines.

How far 3 billion people will go to get out of their miserable circumstances and have no problem becoming international criminals in the process.

Ah, just like 'agents' do with the fake 800/400K-in-the-bank -documents?

But you are misinformed.

Farang don't go to Thailand to be with the Thais.

They go there to get away from their own kind who drive them crazy.  :cheesy:
