The PM, as interior minister, has ordered governors and district chiefs to use the new deportation regulation quickly against foreigners who work or run businesses without permits, illegally occupy land, or take advantage of Thais. Phuket, Surat Thani, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan are named as priority areas. If your business employs or partners with foreigners, check that their work permits and business licences are in order. Enforcement is now faster and less tolerant of gaps.
