Act (No. 2),

Bhumibol Adulyadej R
Given on the 18th day of August 2523 BE
Being the 35th year of the present reign

Phra Bat Somdet Phra Paramin Maha Bhumibol Adulyadej gives a great royal command by which He orders with His pleasure that it be announced as follows:

Whereas it is appropriate to amend the law on immigration;

Therefore, by and with the advice and consent of the National Assembly, He orders with His gracious pleasure that the following Act be enacted:

Section1.This Act is called the "Immigration Act (No. 2), 2523 BE".

Section2.This Act shall come into force from the day following the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette onwards.

Section3.The following stipulation shall be inserted in (1) of section 12 of the Immigration Act, 2522 BE, as paragraph 3:

"Visa stamping according to (1) shall be subject to the fees designated by a ministerial regulation".

Section4.The fees in the schedule "rate of fees, costs of proceedings, and other expenses" at the end of the Immigration Act, 2522 BE, shall be repealed and replaced by the following stipulation:

"Fees

	not exceeding	500	baht each time

(11)	Application for proof of nationality filed with a competent authority according to section 57
	not exceeding	200	baht per person"

Countersignatory:
General P Tinsulanonda
Prime Minister

Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Since the Immigration Act, 2522 BE, requires passports or passport substitutes to be stamped with visas but does not require fees for passport visa stamping, etc, to be collected in line with the practice universally observed at present, it is appropriate to amend the law on immigration in order to allow the collection of the said fees. It is therefore necessary to set this Act up.
