Overstay blacklisting starts in March
Thailand's Immigration Bureau could start blacklisting foreigners who stay beyond their visa period with effect from March 2016.
The royal decree on the blacklisting is expected to be promulgated in late March, said bureau chief Pol Maj Gen Natthorn Prosunthorn.
He said that the foreigners would be divided into two groups: those on overstay who turn themselves to the authorities and those who are arrested for overstaying.
