Extradition

Firstly extradition from Thailand needs certain requirements. Speak to our extradition lawyer in Bangkok for more assistance. You will require the expertise of an extradition law firm in Thailand. INTERPOL is located in France and was established in 1923 to ensure that there is cooperation between police forces around the world to cut down on transnational crimes. INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) may even exist where there are no diplomatic relations between the countries. Should there be a notice issued then immigration check points will scan your passport to see if you have been listed. Finally this is normally for those who have completed the Legal Process in Thailand which would be mainly for drug trafficking or Kidnapping.

There are a number of notices which can be issued by INTERPOL. These are as follows:

Red Notice: Firstly this is the same as an international arrest warrant and you will be arrested;

Blue Notice: Secondly this is a request for additional information on the person involved in a crime;

Green Notice: This is a warning that the person was involved in a crime and might do it again;

Yellow Notice: This is issued to find a missing person who might not know who he is;

Black Notice: This is issued to request information about unidentified bodies;

Orange Notice: Finally this is issued to warn other countries about concealed weapons and bomb threats.

Accordingly, once you get arrested, the other country who has issued the notice might want to extradite. Consequently, Thailand currently has extradition treaties with 14 countries for extradition. However that the extradition falls under the Extradition Act B.E. 2551 (2008). Likewise you can apply for extradition from Thailand. Finally they will also take into account the wording in the extradition treaties. Accordingly these countries currently are the following:

Note that the Extradition Act also allows for a request for arrest, detention and extradition under Section 15 of the Act. 

The Requesting State may make a request for provisional arrest and detention of the person sought. Such a request of the Requesting State having an extradition treaty with Thailand shall be transmitted to the Central Authority. Where the Requesting State has no extradition treaty with Thailand, it shall be transmitted through the diplomatic channels.
