Pol Captain Apichart Khontha, deputy inspector of the Nong Khai Immigration Police, identified the woman only as “Annie”, aged 29, with no surname. She is a resident of Vientiane.
Annie admitted that she had overstayed her visa by 251 days while working in Bangkok and wanted to return home, said police. She paid a friend Bt1,500 to create fake visa stamps that showed she had previously entered and left Thailand several times.
