Thailand’s police have launched a nationwide dragnet for more than 10,000 visa overstayers as immigration chief Lieutenant General Nopasin Poolsawat orders officers to hunt down foreigners illegally resident for years. Raids have already netted South Korean fraud suspects, Chinese gang organisers and an Israeli who overstayed 2,095 days. Meanwhile, over 81,000 foreigners have been refused entry since October 2025. The crackdown comes alongside a massive drugs offensive led by police chief General Samran Nuanma. Officers have seized over 17.8 million methamphetamine tablets, 2.3 tonnes of crystal meth and assets exceeding ฿550 million. Drug financiers and international criminal networks are now firmly in police sights as Thailand’s big clean up proceeds.

Thailand’s police have launched a major nationwide crackdown on drug trafficking, international criminal gangs and immigration offenders. More than 10,000 foreigners with expired visas are now being targeted.

National Police Commissioner General Samran Nuanma and Immigration Bureau chief Police Lieutenant General Nopasin Poolsawat are directing the offensive. Meanwhile, police have seized millions of methamphetamine tablets and tonnes of crystal methamphetamine.

International fraud suspects and foreigners illegally resident for years have also been arrested. The operation extends from Bangkok to tourist islands, commercial centres and border provinces.

Police widen nationwide hunt for 10,000 visa overstayers as drug and international crime raids intensify

The crackdown intensified during October, with major narcotics seizures and coordinated immigration raids. Police are pursuing foreign suspects wanted overseas while investigating domestic and international drug networks.

In parallel, immigration officers are using criminal intelligence and international wanted-person records to identify suspects hiding in Thailand. The campaign also follows new deportation regulations introduced by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s government in August.

On 20 October, Nopasin ordered immigration divisions nationwide to pursue more than 10,000 suspected visa overstayers. The directive followed the discovery of an international fraud operation involving South Korean and Chinese nationals in Bangkok.

Although the figure represents an estimated target population, it places thousands of foreigners under immigration scrutiny. The order came amid a wider police offensive against narcotics trafficking, organised fraud and illegal immigration.

Bangkok raids expose South Korean fraud network run from luxury homes with Chinese organisers

The previous day, immigration officers and South Korean police raided three locations across Bangkok. Eight South Koreans and two Chinese nationals were arrested over a suspected international fraud network.

Notably, Nopasin personally led more than 30 immigration officers during the operation. South Korean investigators also participated, providing direct international police cooperation.

Investigators uncovered a suspected criminal organisation operating from expensive residential properties in the capital. According to police, two Chinese nationals acted as organisers and trainers for South Korean fraud operators.

Their targets were victims in South Korea. The schemes involved impersonating prosecutors, issuing fabricated arrest warrants and conducting romance scams. Furthermore, investigators discovered that the organisation rented a luxury property in Bangkok’s Sai Mai district for ฿150,000 monthly.

The investigation began on 4 September with the arrest of a South Korean national. He had overstayed his visa and was wanted in connection with fraud offences. Subsequently, investigators traced the wider organisation operating from Bangkok. Their inquiries culminated in the coordinated raids on 19 October. Immigration officials revoked the visas of all ten suspects following their arrests.

Immigration chief orders nationwide overstay hunt as Israeli drug suspect is caught after nearly six years

In response, Nopasin ordered an intensified nationwide hunt for foreigners illegally remaining in Thailand. More than 10,000 suspected overstayers were identified as the target of the operation. The figure was not presented as an arrest total. Rather, it represented the estimated population immigration officers had been instructed to pursue.

On another front, Bangkok police arrested a 54-year-old Israeli national identified as Tomer on 23 October. The suspect had reportedly overstayed his visa by 2,095 days. That amounted to approximately five years and nine months of illegal residence in Thailand.

Officers located him at accommodation in Bangkok’s Huai Khwang district. During the arrest, police reported discovering crystal methamphetamine.

The Israeli subsequently faced charges involving drug possession, immigration overstaying and refusing a drug test. The operation was supervised by several senior police commanders. These included General Samran, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom and Immigration Bureau Commissioner Nopasin.

Separately, Police Major General Teeradej Thumsutee directed the investigation. He is the deputy Metropolitan Police Commissioner responsible for narcotics suppression.

Police chief targets drug financiers as officers seize tonnes of crystal meth and millions of tablets

The arrest was reported publicly on 24 October. It involved metropolitan police, narcotics investigators and immigration officers working on the same case. Significantly, the suspect had remained illegally in Thailand for nearly six years. His arrest came during the wider crackdown targeting immigration offenders and drug-related crime.

However, the national police offensive extends far beyond foreign immigration offenders. Earlier in October, General Samran announced massive drug seizures following investigations into international and domestic trafficking networks. On 9 October, the Royal Thai Police reported major operations against international maritime drug trafficking organisations. Domestic transport gangs were also targeted.

Officers seized more than 1.8 tonnes of crystal methamphetamine and 10.8 million methamphetamine tablets. In addition, police confiscated assets valued at over ฿550 million. The seizures formed part of a major operation against criminal networks involved in moving and distributing illegal drugs. General Samran subsequently identified narcotics suppression as a top priority for the Royal Thai Police.

The national police chief instructed investigators to pursue financiers, organisers and supporters of major trafficking networks. His orders extended beyond the arrest of couriers and individuals transporting drugs. Consequently, investigators were directed towards the financial and organisational structures supporting the trade. Those financing and directing major criminal operations became a central focus of the police campaign.

Fresh drug seizures stretch across Thailand as immigration raids hit southern islands and Burma border

Further substantial results followed on 22 October. The Office of the Narcotics Control Board announced additional seizures under Operation Pairi Phinat 3.

The operation targeted major drug trafficking activities across Thailand. Investigators reported seven major cases involving more than seven million methamphetamine tablets. Additionally, officers seized more than 505 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine.

The operations extended across northern, central, northeastern and southern Thailand. Police targeted drug transport vehicles, parcel shipments, storage locations and entertainment establishments. These seizures were reported separately from the larger operation announced on 9 October. Together, the two announcements accounted for more than 17.8 million methamphetamine tablets and over 2.3 tonnes of crystal methamphetamine.

At the same time, immigration enforcement was intensifying across Thailand’s tourist destinations and border provinces. On 16 October, police arrested five foreign women on Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. All five faced immigration overstaying offences. One woman had reportedly remained in Thailand for 799 days beyond her permitted stay.

The following day, another major operation was reported in Mae Sot, Tak province. Police arrested more than 200 immigration offenders in the border area. Furthermore, officers reported eight drug cases and six online gambling cases during the operation. Mae Sot is a major crossing point on Thailand’s border with Burma. The town handles substantial cross-border movement and commercial activity.

Rayong corruption inquiry and Chinese fraud arrests add to immigration drive as entry refusals top 81,000

Elsewhere, immigration officers conducted checks involving more than 100 Chinese nationals at entertainment venues in Rayong on 17 October. The operation also involved an investigation into possible official corruption. The outcome of that inquiry was not established in the available reports. Nevertheless, the investigation placed possible official misconduct alongside immigration enforcement in the province.

Further arrests followed in Chonburi province. On 22 October, police arrested a Chinese national in Si Racha after an overstay lasting approximately three years. The individual was also connected to a fraud investigation in China. The case added to a series of arrests involving foreign nationals wanted over criminal investigations overseas.

Indeed, Nopasin had already disclosed substantial immigration enforcement figures at the beginning of October. On 1 October, he announced that immigration officers had refused entry to more than 81,000 foreigners. The figure covered the period beginning on 1 October 2025. It represented approximately 7,000 refusals monthly.

The announcement followed the arrest of a Chinese national identified as Sun Wen in Kanchanaburi. The 33-year-old had overstayed his permission to remain in Thailand by 578 days. Moreover, he was wanted in China over a property fraud investigation involving more than ฿200 million. The arrest formed part of immigration investigations involving foreign suspects wanted in their home countries.

Immigration police use foreign wanted lists as new deportation rules tighten action against offenders

Nopasin said officers were increasingly using international wanted-person records and criminal intelligence. These systems helped investigators identify foreign suspects who might otherwise remain undetected.

He described the intelligence-led approach as a new direction for immigration policing. Accordingly, international criminal records have become an important part of investigations into foreigners entering or remaining in Thailand.

The crackdown also follows significant changes to Thailand’s deportation procedures. New regulations signed by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul took effect on 28 August 2026. They cover foreigners involved in illegal entry, immigration overstaying, unauthorised employment and illegal business activities. The regulations also apply to document forgery and serious criminal offences.

Under the new procedures, cooperation between prison officials and the Immigration Bureau has been strengthened. Deportation arrangements can begin promptly after foreign offenders complete their prison sentences.

As part of this, the regulations provide for closer coordination between imprisonment, immigration enforcement and removal from Thailand. They follow the Immigration Bureau’s previously announced No Entry, No Stay, No Escape policy.

Earlier immigration campaign records 14,161 arrests as Thai and South Korean police expose Bangkok scams

That earlier campaign had already produced substantial enforcement figures before the latest October offensive. Government figures published earlier in 2026 reported 14,161 arrests involving immigration overstayers and illegal workers.

Additionally, officials reported 668 student visa revocations. Immigration officers had also raided 190 locations identified as presenting elevated enforcement risks.

Those figures relate to earlier enforcement activities and are separate from the nationwide operation ordered on 20 October. Even before the latest directive, immigration officers had been conducting thousands of arrests and extensive investigations. The new order added more than 10,000 suspected overstayers to the Immigration Bureau’s nationwide enforcement targets.

The October operations also reveal extensive cooperation between Thai investigators and foreign police agencies. In Bangkok, South Korean investigators helped uncover a fraud organisation operating from luxury residential properties.

Two Chinese nationals were identified as organisers and trainers, while eight South Koreans were arrested. The suspected network targeted victims overseas through fabricated arrest warrants, impersonation and romance scams.

Chinese fraud suspects and long-term Israeli overstayer feature in raids across tourist and border areas

Separately, Thai immigration officers arrested Chinese nationals connected to criminal investigations in their home country. Sun Wen was wanted over a property fraud investigation involving more than ฿200 million.

Another Chinese national arrested in Si Racha was linked to a fraud investigation in China. Both cases involved substantial periods of immigration overstaying.

The Israeli suspect arrested in Huai Khwang had remained illegally in Thailand for 2,095 days. His arrest also involved the discovery of crystal methamphetamine. Notably, the investigation was directed by a senior metropolitan police officer responsible for narcotics suppression. It brought immigration and drug enforcement together in a single operation.

Provincial operations have also reached the country’s major tourist destinations. Officers arrested overstayers on Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. In Mae Sot, more than 200 immigration offenders were arrested alongside investigations into drugs and online gambling. Meanwhile, the Rayong operation involved checks on more than 100 Chinese nationals and an inquiry into possible corruption.

Massive narcotics seizures and new deportation procedures drive coordinated police operations nationwide

The narcotics campaign has produced even larger seizures. Across two separately announced October operations, police confiscated more than 17.8 million methamphetamine tablets. They also seized over 2.3 tonnes of crystal methamphetamine. Assets valued at over ฿550 million were confiscated during the operation announced on 9 October.

General Samran has ordered investigators to pursue the financial backers and organisers of major trafficking networks. The directive covers those supporting criminal operations as well as individuals transporting drugs. In parallel, immigration police are using international intelligence to identify foreign suspects and long-term overstayers.

The government has also introduced new procedures for deporting foreign offenders after prison sentences. These regulations took effect before the latest police operations. They provide immigration officers with a framework for arranging the removal of foreign offenders following imprisonment.

The October crackdown has therefore involved several simultaneous enforcement operations. Narcotics investigators have intercepted enormous drug shipments and pursued trafficking organisations. Immigration officers have arrested long-term overstayers and foreign suspects wanted overseas. International police cooperation has also produced arrests involving a suspected fraud network operating from Bangkok.

Bangkok fraud raids trigger national overstay hunt while drug squads target trafficking routes and storage

The most significant immigration directive came after the 19 October Bangkok raids. Nopasin ordered officers nationwide to pursue more than 10,000 foreigners believed to be illegally remaining in Thailand. The order followed the arrests of eight South Koreans and two Chinese nationals. All ten had their visas revoked after investigators uncovered the suspected international fraud operation.

The national narcotics campaign has also expanded under General Samran’s direction. Police have reported major drug seizures across multiple regions, including international maritime trafficking investigations. Meanwhile, Operation Pairi Phinat 3 has targeted transport vehicles, parcel shipments, storage sites and entertainment establishments.

With the latest orders in force, police operations now stretch from Bangkok’s luxury residential districts to Thailand’s border crossings and tourist islands. The campaign involves immigration officers, metropolitan police, narcotics investigators and foreign law enforcement agencies.

Police commanders pursue drug financiers and 10,000 visa overstayers after arrests across the country

General Samran’s narcotics directive targets the financiers and organisers behind major drug networks. Nopasin’s immigration order targets more than 10,000 suspected visa overstayers nationwide.

Both commanders are directing enforcement operations that have already produced major arrests, enormous drug seizures and investigations into international criminal organisations.

The crackdown has also reached foreigners who remained illegally in Thailand for years. Among them was the Israeli arrested after a 2,095-day overstay and the Chinese suspect wanted in a ฿200 million fraud investigation.

Meanwhile, the Bangkok raids exposed a suspected international fraud network operating from a luxury property costing ฿150,000 monthly.

The latest police orders now place drug traffickers, international fraud suspects and thousands of immigration offenders under nationwide investigation. General Samran has directed police towards the organisers and financiers of the drug trade. At the same time, Nopasin has mobilised immigration divisions across Thailand against the country’s estimated 10,000-plus visa overstayers.

在“犯罪”、“生活”、“媒体”、“泰国”类别下

泰国警方在全国范围内展开大规模搜捕行动，追查超过1万名签证逾期滞留者。移民局局长诺帕​​辛·普尔萨瓦特中将下令警方严查非法居留多年的外国人。突击行动已抓获多名韩国诈骗嫌疑人、中国犯罪团伙组织成员以及一名逾期滞留2095天的以色列人。与此同时，自2025年10月以来，已有超过8.1万名外国人被拒绝入境。此次打击行动与由警察总长萨姆兰·努安玛将军领导的大规模禁毒行动同时进行。警方已缴获超过1780万片冰毒片剂、2.3吨冰毒以及超过5.5亿泰铢的资产。随着泰国大规模禁毒行动的推进，毒品融资者和国际犯罪网络已成为警方重点打击的目标。

泰国警方已在全国范围内展开大规模打击毒品走私、国际犯罪团伙和非法移民的行动。目前，超过1万名签证过期的外国人正成为警方的重点打击对象。

国家警察总监萨姆兰·努安玛上将和移民局局长诺帕​​辛·普尔萨瓦特中将正在指挥此次行动。与此同时，警方缴获了数百万片冰毒片剂和数吨冰毒。

国际诈骗嫌疑人和非法居留多年的外国人也被逮捕。此次行动范围从曼谷延伸至旅游岛屿、商业中心和边境省份。

警方扩大全国范围搜捕1万名签证逾期滞留者，同时加大打击毒品和国际犯罪的力度。

10月份，打击力度加大，警方缴获了大量毒品，并开展了多起协同移民突击行动。警方在追捕海外通缉犯的同时，也在调查国内外的贩毒网络。

与此同时，移民官员正利用犯罪情报和国际通缉犯记录来识别藏匿在泰国的嫌疑人。此次行动也与阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔总理领导的政府于8月推出的新遣返条例相呼应。

10月20日，诺帕辛下令全国移民部门追查超过1万名涉嫌签证逾期滞留者。此前，警方在曼谷发现了一起涉及韩国和中国公民的国际签证欺诈案。

虽然该数字代表的是一个估计的目标人群，但它却将成千上万的外国人置于移民审查之下。这项命令是在警方开展更大规模的打击毒品走私、有组织诈骗和非法移民行动之际发布的。

曼谷突击搜查揭露韩国诈骗团伙在豪宅中运作，由中国人组织策划

前一天，移民官员和韩国警方突击搜查了曼谷的三个地点。八名韩国人和两名中国公民因涉嫌参与国际诈骗网络而被捕。

值得注意的是，诺帕辛亲自率领30多名移民官员参与了此次行动。韩国调查人员也参与其中，提供了直接的国际警务合作。

调查人员破获了一个涉嫌在首都高档住宅区活动的犯罪组织。据警方称，两名中国公民担任韩国诈骗团伙的组织者和培训者。

他们的目标是韩国的受害者。这些骗局包括冒充检察官、伪造逮捕令以及进行爱情诈骗。此外，调查人员还发现该组织在曼谷赛迈区租了一处豪华房产，月租金高达15万泰铢。

调查始于9月4日，当时一名韩国公民被捕。他签证过期滞留，并因涉嫌诈骗罪被通缉。随后，调查人员追踪到一个在曼谷活动的更大犯罪团伙。他们的调查最终促成了10月19日的联合突袭行动。移民官员在逮捕所有十名嫌疑人后吊销了他们的签证。

移民局局长下令在全国范围内搜捕逾期居留者，一名以色列毒品嫌疑犯在近六年之后落网。

作为回应，诺帕辛下令在全国范围内加大力度搜捕非法滞留泰国的外国人。超过1万名涉嫌逾期居留者被列为行动目标。该数字并非逮捕人数，而是移民官员奉命追查的估计人数。

另一方面，曼谷警方于10月23日逮捕了一名54岁的以色列公民托默。据报道，该嫌疑人签证过期滞留2095天，相当于在泰国非法居留约五年零九个月。

警方在曼谷怀匡区的一处住所找到了他。逮捕过程中，警方报告称发现了冰毒。

这些以色列人随后面临持有毒品、逾期滞留和拒绝接受毒品检测等指控。此次行动由几位高级警官指挥，其中包括萨姆兰将军、首都警察局局长暹·汶松中将和移民局局长诺帕​​辛。

此外，负责此次调查的警察少将提拉德·图姆苏提 (Teeradej Thumsutee) 也参与其中。他是负责禁毒工作的首都警察局副局长。

警方缴获数吨冰毒和数百万片药片，警长重点打击毒品资金提供者

此次逮捕行动于10月24日公开报道。参与此次行动的有曼谷警察、缉毒警员和移民官员。值得注意的是，嫌疑人已在泰国非法居留近六年。此次逮捕行动正值泰国政府开展大规模打击非法移民和毒品犯罪的行动之际。

然而，此次全国警方的打击行动远不止针对外国移民违法者。10月初，萨姆兰将军宣布，经过对国际和国内贩毒网络的调查，警方缴获了大量毒品。10月9日，泰国皇家警察报告称，他们针对国际海上贩毒组织开展了重大行动，国内运输团伙也成为打击目标。

警方缴获了超过1.8吨冰毒和1080万片冰毒片剂。此外，警方还查获了价值超过5.5亿泰铢的资产。此次行动是打击贩毒网络的一次大型行动的一部分。随后，萨姆兰将军将禁毒列为泰国皇家警察的首要任务。

国家警察总长指示调查人员追查大型贩毒网络的资助者、组织者和支持者。他的命令不仅限于逮捕毒品运输者和信使。因此，调查人员的重点转向了支持毒品交易的金融和组织结构。那些资助和指挥重大犯罪活动的人员成为警方行动的核心目标。

泰国各地查获大量毒品，移民局突击搜查南部岛屿和缅甸边境。

10月22日，又取得了重大成果。禁毒委员会办公室宣布，在“Pairi Phinat 3”行动中查获了更多毒品。

此次行动的目标是打击泰国境内的重大毒品走私活动。调查人员报告称，共破获七起重大案件，涉及超过七百万片冰毒片剂。此外，警方还缴获了超过505公斤的冰毒晶体。

此次行动覆盖泰国北部、中部、东北部和南部地区。警方重点查获毒品运输车辆、包裹、储藏地点和娱乐场所。这些缴获的毒品与10月9日公布的大规模行动分开报告。两次行动共缴获超过1780万片冰毒片剂和超过2.3吨冰毒。

与此同时，泰国在旅游胜地和边境省份加强了移民执法力度。10月16日，警方在苏梅岛、帕岸岛和涛岛逮捕了五名外国女性。这五人均涉嫌逾期滞留。据报道，其中一名女性在泰国停留的时间已超过其获准停留期限799天。

第二天，达府湄索镇又发生一起重大行动。警方在边境地区逮捕了200多名非法移民。此外，警方还报告称，行动中破获了8起毒品案件和6起网络赌博案件。湄索是泰国与缅甸边境的重要过境点，该镇跨境人员流动和商业活动十分频繁。

罗勇府贪腐调查和中国籍诈骗案逮捕行动加剧了移民管控力度，入境被拒人数超过8.1万人。

此外，10月17日，移民官员在罗勇府的娱乐场所对100多名中国公民进行了检查。此次行动还涉及对可能存在的官员腐败行为的调查。现有报告并未公布调查结果。尽管如此，调查结果显示，该省的移民执法工作可能存在官员不当行为。

随后，春武里府也发生了多起逮捕事件。10月22日，警方在是拉差逮捕了一名逾期居留约三年的中国公民。该公民还涉嫌在中国进行诈骗调查。此案是近期一系列针对因海外刑事调查而被通缉的外国公民的逮捕行动之一。

事实上，诺帕辛早在10月初就公布了大量的移民执法数据。10月1日，他宣布移民官员拒绝了超过8.1万名外国人入境。该数据涵盖了从2025年10月1日开始的时期，相当于每月约有7000人被拒入境。

此前，一名中国公民孙文在北碧府被捕。这名33岁的男子逾期在泰国停留578天。此外，他还因涉嫌一起超过2亿泰铢的房产诈骗案而被中国通缉。此次逮捕行动是针对在其本国被通缉的外国嫌疑人开展的移民调查的一部分。

移民警察利用外国通缉犯名单，新的驱逐出境规定加大了对违法者的打击力度。

诺帕辛表示，警方越来越多地使用国际通缉犯记录和犯罪情报。这些系统帮助调查人员识别出那些原本可能逍遥法外的外国嫌疑人。

他将这种以情报为主导的方法描述为移民执法的新方向。因此，国际犯罪记录已成为调查外国人入境或滞留泰国案件的重要组成部分。

此次打击行动也紧随泰国遣返程序的重大变革之后。由总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔签署的新规于2026年8月28日生效。这些新规涵盖非法入境、逾期居留、无证就业和非法商业活动等外国人。此外，伪造文件和严重刑事犯罪也适用这些规定。

根据新程序，监狱官员与移民局之间的合作得到加强。外国罪犯服刑完毕后，遣返安排即可立即启动。

为此，相关规定要求在监禁、移民执法和遣返出境方面加强协调。这些规定遵循泰国移民局此前宣布的“禁止入境、禁止停留、禁止逃脱”政策。

此前，泰国和韩国警方在移民执法行动中逮捕了14161人，并揭露了曼谷的诈骗活动。

在10月份的最新行动之前，此前的那次行动已经取得了显著的执法成果。政府在2026年初公布的数据显示，共逮捕了14161名逾期居留者和非法劳工。

此外，官方报告称，已吊销668份学生签证。移民官员还突击搜查了190个被认定为执法风险较高的地点。

这些数据与之前的执法行动有关，与10月20日下令开展的全国性行动无关。即使在最新指令发布之前，移民官员也已进行了数千次逮捕和广泛的调查。新指令将超过1万名涉嫌逾期居留者列入移民局的全国执法目标。

10月份的行动还揭示了泰国调查人员与外国警方之间的广泛合作。在曼谷，韩国调查人员协助破获了一个以豪华住宅为据点的诈骗团伙。

两名中国公民被确认为组织者和培训者，另有八名韩国人被捕。该犯罪团伙涉嫌通过伪造逮捕令、冒充他人和爱情骗局等手段，以海外受害者为目标。

在旅游区和边境地区的突击搜查中，中国诈骗嫌疑人和长期逾期滞留的以色列人成为重点目标。

此外，泰国移民官员逮捕了与中国刑事调查有关的中国公民。孙文因涉嫌一起超过2亿泰铢的房产诈骗案而被通缉。

在怀光被捕的以色列嫌疑人已在泰国非法滞留2095天。逮捕过程中，警方还缴获了冰毒。值得注意的是，此次调查由一名负责禁毒工作的高级警官主导，将移民执法和缉毒执法部门联合起来开展了一次行动。

省级行动也已扩展到该国的主要旅游目的地。执法人员在苏梅岛、帕岸岛和涛岛逮捕了逾期滞留者。在湄索，执法人员逮捕了200多名违反移民法的人员，并调查了毒品和网络赌博活动。与此同时，在罗勇府的行动中，执法人员检查了100多名中国公民，并调查了可能的腐败行为。

政府还出台了新的程序，用于遣返刑满释放的外国罪犯。这些规定在最近的警方行动之前就已经生效。它们为移民官员提供了一个框架，用于安排刑满释放的外国罪犯的遣返事宜。

因此，10月份的打击行动涉及多项同步执法行动。缉毒人员截获了大量毒品走私，并追捕贩毒组织。移民官员逮捕了长期逾期居留者和在海外被通缉的外国嫌疑人。国际警务合作也促成了对一个涉嫌在曼谷活动的诈骗团伙的逮捕行动。

曼谷反诈骗行动引发全国范围内的逾期居留者搜捕，同时缉毒小组打击贩毒路线和藏匿毒品。

最重要的移民指令是在10月19日曼谷突击搜查之后发布的。诺帕辛命令全国执法人员追捕超过1万名涉嫌非法滞留泰国的外国人。此前，警方逮捕了8名韩国人和2名中国人。调查人员发现他们涉嫌参与国际诈骗活动后，这10人的签证均被吊销。

在萨姆兰将军的领导下，全国禁毒行动规模进一步扩大。警方报告称，在多个地区查获了大量毒品，其中包括国际海上贩运案件。与此同时，“Pairi Phinat 3”行动的目标是运输车辆、包裹、毒品储存点和娱乐场所。

随着最新命令的生效，警方的行动范围已从曼谷的豪华住宅区扩展到泰国的边境口岸和旅游岛屿。此次行动涉及移民官员、曼谷警察、缉毒人员和外国执法机构。

警方指挥官在全国范围内展开逮捕行动，追捕毒品融资者和1万名签证逾期滞留者。

萨姆兰将军的禁毒指令旨在打击大型贩毒网络背后的资助者和组织者。诺帕辛的移民令则针对全国超过1万名涉嫌签证逾期滞留者。

两位指挥官正在指挥执法行动，这些行动已经取得了重大逮捕成果，缴获了大量毒品，并对国际犯罪组织展开了调查。

此次打击行动也波及到在泰国非法居留多年的外国人。其中包括一名逾期居留2095天后被捕的以色列人，以及一名因涉嫌2亿泰铢诈骗案而被通缉的中国嫌疑人。

与此同时，曼谷的突击搜查行动揭露了一个涉嫌国际诈骗网络，该网络以每月租金高达 15 万泰铢的豪华房产为据点进行活动。

警方最新命令将毒品走私犯、国际诈骗嫌疑人和数千名违反移民法者置于全国范围的调查之下。萨姆兰将军已指示警方重点打击毒品交易的组织者和资助者。与此同时，诺帕辛已动员泰国各地移民部门，对该国估计超过1万名签证逾期滞留者展开调查。
