French National Ordered Deported from Thailand

On September 7, 2026, Thai authorities issued a formal deportation order for a French national identified as Kevin Dimino. According to a report by Khaosod English, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed Interior Ministry Order No. 2355/2026, mandating the individual's removal from the country.

Authorities stated that the decision was based on the individual's conduct, which they characterized as a serious threat to public order and the well-being of others in the Samui area. This administrative action highlights the Thai government's ongoing focus on monitoring the behavior of foreign residents and visitors to ensure compliance with local standards of public safety.

For travelers and expatriates, this case serves as a reminder that Thai immigration authorities maintain strict oversight regarding the conduct of foreign nationals. Engaging in activities deemed disruptive or harmful to public order can lead to the revocation of stay permits and subsequent deportation.

At this time, specific details regarding the exact nature of the incidents leading to this order have not been publicly disclosed by the Ministry. It remains to be confirmed how the deportation process will be executed and whether the individual has the right to appeal the ministerial order. Residents are advised to remain aware of local regulations and the potential consequences of actions that may be interpreted as a breach of public order.
