Immigration top brass "took bribes" for triad visas

[Nereus]

Three former division commanders of the Immigration Bureau (IB) took bribes in exchange for approving applications for non-immigrant visas for at least 3,325 Chinese nationals who entered Thailand on a tourist visa, according to former politician and massage parlour tycoon Chuwit Kamolvisit.

The approvals of these non-immigrant visas -- Type B (Business) and Type O (Other purposes) -- were made between 2020 and last year by the three police major-generals, Mr Chuwit said on Wednesday.

I knew there was a reason for the development of Chinatown on soi 84, on the way to immigration.
