Yes, imprisonment from one year to ten years and fine from twenty thousand to a hundred thousand baht or both. Usually the court tends to inflict an imprisonment term rather than for a case of two choices of punishment like this. The holder of the forged passport is liable for the same punishment as the person forging it.
A person having faked passports for sale shall be punished with very high imprisonment from three years to twenty years. Moreover, a person having two or more faked passports is deemed by law to have them for sale.
Any person importing or exporting faked passports shall be punished with imprisonment term of one year at least but not more than ten years.
A person using another person’s passport in a way that is likely to cause damages to others or public shall be imprisonment not more than ten years.
Counterfeiting a visa or using a faked one shall be punished with much higher punishment than general documents: imprisonment not lower than one year but not more than ten years.
