Stricter immigration rules ahead of AEC
Play
The Immigration Bureau is preparing to launch a pre-screening system for visitors to Thailand before the end of this year.
This crucial step, in addition to equipping immigration officials with foreign-language skills, is part of the preparation for the Asean Economic Community (AEC), which will kick off in 2015.
“The new system will allow us to check passenger names against the black list before their arrival,” Immigration Bureau’s chief Pol Lt-General Panu Lerdlarpphol said Monday.
