webfact Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Nigerian on overstay of 210 days arrested in Koh Phangan Picture: Naew Na Immigration and tourist police went to investigate after reports that a foreigner had been living in a house on the holiday island of Koh Phangan for a long time, reported Naew Na. They went to house number 281 in Moo 2. They found 35 year old Nigerian national Justine O.O. had entered the kingdom on a tourist visa last August. His passport showed he was due to leave in October but never did and had now racked up an overstay of 210 days. He was handed over to the Koh Phangan police for prosecution. Surat Thai immigration chief Pol Col Suparick Phankoson told the media this was all part of IB chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang's master plan to rid Thailand of criminal elements and lawbreaking foreigners.

Popular Post nausea Posted May 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2020 The IDC must be getting pretty crowded, what, with few flights out. On another note, with all the tourists gone hiding in the crowd is getting more difficult; those few of us that remain stick out a bit. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I hadn't been reported by someone, you always get one or two a@#eh9les who think they can put the boot in. As I haven't had any "visits" I assume a quick check on the immigration database would put laid to that pretty quickly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted May 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2020 Maybe it's time for a sweep of visa of all Nigerian nationals in the country ? Seems with several picked up daily on overstay, romance fraud or drugs dealings they are more trouble than they are worth. Maybe they should raise the bar for entry by Nigerians having to show vast more to get a visa 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many tourists areas in Bangkok they were hanging around and tried to sell drugs. It was impossible not to see that they were selling drugs...
