Original Text aus der Bangkok Post HP, Breaking News:
A new immigration card will be introduced for use by those going in and out of Thailand by the end of this year, said Immigration Police chief, Pol Lt-Gen Chatchawan Suksomchit.
Holders of the Immigration Card will include those who travel in and out of the country three to five times in a year, regardless of their nationality.
The Immigration Card holders, Thai and foreign alike, will bypass normal procedures of the Immigration Police which include scanning for criminal suspects or those on the police and immigration Watch List.
Instead, the Immigration Card holders will have the privileges to go through fast passage at airports, the Immigration Police chief said.
The Immigration Card, which will be issued to travellers by the end of this year, at the height of the tourist season, was part of the efforts to promote tourism and investment in the country.
The Immigration Police will also open Call Centre 1178 early next year to provide tourism-related information in eight languages. Besides, the Immigration Police will take part in the crackdown on the exploitation of foreign labour and flesh trade nationwide. (TNA)
Für den "Normal-Reisenden" nach Thailand vermutlich keine Änderung, die neuen Karten werden wohl kaum im Flieger vor der Landung verteilt.
Schade, die Queue bei der Einreise zu umgehen hätte schon was.
