Black List
Flock of foreigners’ visits Thailand every year due its uniquely kind of charm that it has to offer to everyone, whether just for a short holiday adventure, a business trip or even for a long-term plan of settling in the country.
But while a trip to Thailand could be an adventure of a lifetime for foreign visitors, it could also lead to a serious mess if an alien fails to follow a numerous set of law (both criminal and offence under the immigration act) that has been set forth by the kingdom. Cases may differ in a variety of consequences ranging from being fined to imprisonment or both, thus resulting to being included into the “Thailand Blacklist”.
Having a blacklist in Thailand means that a person is prohibited to enter the country in a specific period of time ordered by the law. In recent years backlisted foreigners have increase in numbers and continuously growing in a daily basis due to different kinds of cases among which are criminal offences being made in violation to the Thai laws and some are made under the immigration act.

-
1 year banned for overstaying 90 days after the permitted date of departure.
-
3 years banned for overstaying more than one year.
-
5 years banned for overstaying more than three years.
-
10 years banned for overstaying more than 5 years.
-
Overstayers that get arrested and prosecuted.
-
5 years banned for overstaying one year (or less) after the permitted date of departure
