The move is a part of key measures issued by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Public Health Ministry to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
At the Immigration Division 1 office on the second floor of Building B, immigration police separated seats by one metre for foreigners extending their temporary stay permits in the kingdom.
With foreigners being required to present themselves at the office and notify immigration staff of their place of residence every 90 days, hundreds to thousands of foreigners arrive each day.
Meanwhile, the TCSD office on the fourth floor of Building B, which dozens of people visit each day to report offences dealing with the use of technology such as romance scams or websites with inappropriate content, also separated visitors according to the rule to prevent the coronavirus from spreading.
