A Swiss Expat in Phuket at the center of a viral incident who has a Business Visa may have it extended due to ongoing legal action, even as some Phuket officials and residents call for his immediate deportation.

The Phuket Immigration Office stated that they have officially revoked the visa of a Swiss Expat in Phuket at the center of a viral alleged kicking incident. He can request for bail during this process.

Now for the update:

Colonel Parinya Klinkaesorn, the Thai Immigration Spokesman, revealed the current situation to the Thai press.

“On Thursday night, March 7th, Mr. David was detained in the Phuket Immigration’s cell. He was bailed out on Friday (March 8th) by his wife for 100,000 baht. The lawyers involved gave the reason for the bail that Mr. David is in a court process of trying to legally defend himself in the alleged kicking case.

The Phuket Immigration has approved for a 30 day bail. However the bail is under four conditions:

1. He must stay at the accommodation that he has registered with the Phuket Immigration.
2. He must present himself to the Phuket Immigration every 15 days.
3. He is being banned from any work or doing anything that offends Thai laws.
4. He is being banned from leaving the country.

Colonel Parinya said to the Thai Media, “Mr. David has filed an appeal to the Phuket Immigration regarding his visa revocation asking for them to reconsider. He has his right to file the appeal. We are not worried. We are confident in our evidence that we have for his visa revocation.”

Additionally, the Thai Minister of the Interior, Anutin Charnvirakul, has personally said he would veto any appeal request, which he said is within his rights with his position.
