  "summary": "The Thai government has enacted a new deportation regulation effective August 28, 2026, targeting foreign nationals who violate Thai laws or pose a threat to public order or morality. The regulation empowers the Interior Minister to order the deportation of individuals whose behavior contravenes public order, morality, or public well-being. This includes those who entered or stayed in Thailand illegally, worked or operated businesses illegally, forged official documents, or were convicted of serious crimes resulting in a prison sentence of five years or more. Prison authorities are required to notify the Interior Ministry of relevant foreign inmates at least 50 days before their release, enabling deportation procedures to commence. The regulation also outlines the destination for deportees, typically their country of nationality, but may be a third country if another nation or international organization requests it due to potential risks such as torture, cruel or inhumane treatment, or enforced disappearance, provided the individual consents. The government must consider Thailand’s international legal obligations, and transfers are generally completed within 30 days, with possible extensions.",
