Thailand PM Appears to Target Israelis in Warning to Foreigners: “Go Die Back Home”
Anutin said the government has fast-tracked deportations and tightened visa rules after scandals over illegal foreign businesses and landholdings.
- On Sept 17, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed an Interior Ministry deportation order, providing officials with mechanisms to expel foreign lawbreakers from Thailand.
- Mounting public backlash against illegal foreign ownership enabled by endemic corruption prompted Anutin's administration to halve the visa-free entry period to 30 days for most countries.
- Authorities have launched a crackdown on "nominee" businesses using Thai citizens as paper owners, while tightening rules that allowed foreign nationals to buy citizenship and own land restricted to Thais.
- Prime Minister Anutin issued a rebuke to foreigners behaving badly, stating recent scandals involving illegal landholdings have "gone too far" and urging provincial governors to enforce the law.
- Foreigners can reside in Thailand if they earn an honest living without exploiting Thais, though Anutin emphasized that arrangements must respect Thai society and culture.
