Note that there were arrests in this report of 70 cases of those who had not reported their whereabouts within 24 hours ....20 not staying at reported address..

(See section 3...)

The deputy commander of immigration told the press this morning of the latest arrests in a long running crackdown to rid the country of over-stayers, people illegally entering on tourist visas, scammers, skimmers and Thais breaking the law by not reporting their whereabouts.

Answer summary

Recent reports indicate that a crackdown by Thai immigration authorities has led to the arrest of 70 individuals for failing to report their whereabouts within 24 hours. The deputy commander of immigration highlighted that the majority of those arrested were Thai nationals and individuals from neighboring countries, amid ongoing efforts to address over-stayers and illegal entries on tourist visas.
