Pattaya —

A 24-year-old Jordanian man was arrested at a local fitness center in Pattaya for overstaying his visa by over 490 days.

Chonburi Immigration officers successfully arrested Mr. Yaha Abdel Rauof Yahya Alsakran, a 24-year-old Jordanian national, for overstaying his visa by 490 days on October 16th. The arrest took place at a fitness center in the Khao Phra Tamnak area in Pattaya.

The arrest followed a tip-off from concerned citizens who reported that a Jordanian man with an expired visa frequently visited a fitness center to hang out with his foreign friends.

Officers surveyed the area before spotting Mr. Yaha, who matched the concerned citizens’ description. They then approached and requested to check his passport and travel documents. Upon checking, it was found that Mr. Yaha had entered Thailand on March 17th, 2023, through Phuket Airport with a tourist visa, which was valid until May 15th, 2023. He had applied for one extension, valid until June 14th, 2023, but no further extension was recorded.

The officers informed Mr. Yaha of the charges and handed him over to Pattaya Police Station for legal proceedings and deportation.
