BANGKOK (AFX) - Thailand will tighten entry regulations for tourists in a bid to crack down on illegal foreign workers, the Immigration Bureau said.
The move, which takes effect October 1, would affect tourists from 41 countries including Australia, the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the US, said Suwat Thamrongsrisakul, the head of the bureau.
Currently, tourists from 41 countries can enter Thailand without visas and stay in the kingdom for up to 30 days.
They can extend their stay by checking out of the country, mainly by crossing the borders of neighboring Cambodia and Laos, and returning with new entry stamps.
'Under the current rules, people from those countries can stay in Thailand as long as they want. Some even stay here for one year,' another bureau official said.
The bureau had learned that a growing number of foreigners from the 41 countries worked illegally in Thailand, Suwat said, adding many were employed in bars and restaurants in the popular seaside resort of Pattaya, east of Bangkok.

Mit Visa-on-Arrival nur mehr maximal 90 Tage Aufenthalt möglich
Laut Einwanderungsbehörde werden die Visabestimmungen für Touristen aus 41 Ländern mit Wirkung vom 1. Oktober 2006 verschärft, unter anderem für Besucher aus Australien, England, Kanada, Frankreich, Deutschland, Japan und den USA. Derzeit können Touristen aus diesen Ländern ohne mitgebrachtes Visa in Thailand einreisen und bis zu 30 Tage im Königreich bleiben. Sie können ihren Aufenthalt durch wiederholte Aus- und Wiedereinreisen ausdehnen. Unter den gegenwärtigen Bestimmungen können Leute aus diesen Ländern also praktisch in Thailand bleiben, solange sie wollen. Manche bleiben sogar ein Jahr hier, erklärte ein Immigrationsbeamter.
Man habe beobachtet, daß eine steigende Zahl von Fremden aus diesen 41 Ländern illegal in Thailand arbeite, sagte der Chef der Einwanderungsbehörde und fügte hinzu, viele von ihnen seien in Bars und Restaurants in Pattaya beschäftigt. Touristen nutzten die Einreisemöglichkeit ohne mitgebrachtes Visa aus. Statt Sightseeing gingen sie hier ihren Geschäften nach, erklärte er.
Ab Oktober können Touristen aus diesen Ländern zwar immer noch mit einem Visa-on-Arrival in Thailand rechnen und sich bis zu 30 Tage im Land aufhalten. Aber in ihren Paß dürfen in der Folge maximal zwei weitere Visa-on-arrival (VOA) eingestempelt werden. Bei einer VOA-Einreise und zwei Aus- und Wiedereinreisen nach jeweils 30 Tagen kann man sich daher ab Oktober nur mehr maximal 90 Tage in Thailand aufhalten. Danach dürfe man erst nach frühestens 90 Tagen erneut einreisen, erklärte der Chef der Einwanderungsbehörde. forbes, afx,

News from the new regulation:
This is coming from the Chief of Immigration.
1.Retirement Visa extension. If you have a foreign married spouse who is a dependent they will be able to get this dependent visa now. ( change of what has been happing the last couple weeks)
2.Retirement visa extension: If you have children under 20. They will no longer be able to get a dependent visa based on you having an extension of stay on retirement. They want these kids to get it based on education so they go to school.
3..Investment Visa extension: Will no longer be available after Oct 1st for new applicants on 3 million Baht.
4. Investment visa extension. For existing extension of stay holders of 3 million Baht, we are now being told this will now be grandfathered in and they will be able to get the extension forever as long as they renew. (Yes I know reversal from several hours ago but the government is aware that people bought condos before on this scheme and now will allow it.)
5.Now the news for frequent visitors: We have checked this upwards and backwards all day and it has been confirmed by a copy of the new regulation we have. If you have a visa on arrival more than three times in six months, you cannot come into Thailand without a visa from an Embassy/Consulate. When you enter Thailand, even if you are here just 1 hour, this counts as 30 days. If you come back 6 weeks later for 2 days, this again is 30 days. If you arrive a month later for 4 days, still counts as 30 days. When you leave, you cannot enter Thailand for 3.5 months without coming back with a visa. The reason is to force people who are supposed to have work permits to do so and pay tax.
Another example; you arrive for a week, this counts as 30 days, One month later 3 days and its 30 days, two months later and its for a two week period, still another 30 days. You can reenter Thailand in 6 weeks without having a visa.
6.On extension of stay based support of a Thai national (Marriage visa), before if you applied for this extension of stay, you would get a 30 day consideration stamp. Once you return in 30 days you would get the one year extension. Now it will be the same as an extension of stay based on business with the norm of three 30 day consideration stamps. Immigration will go out and check to see if its a real marriage or a sham before issuing the one year.
7.On an extension of stay based on being a Monk. No dependents will be allowed to get an extension of stay based on being a dependent.
