Thailand Criminal Procedure Code Sections 66-68

Part 2

Warrants of Arrest

Section 66 The grounds for issuing an arrest warrant are as follows:

(1) When there is reasonable evidence that any person is likely to have committed a criminal offense which carries a maximum penalty of imprisonment of more than three years; or

(2) When there is reasonable evidence that a person is likely to commit a criminal offense and there is reasonable cause to believe that he will escape or tamper with evidence or cause other harm;

If that person does not have a place of residence or not showing up as summoned or at an appointment without a reasonable excuse it is assumed that the person will escape.

Section 67 An arrest warrant may be issued for a person whose name is not yet known, but the identity of that person must be described in as much detail as possible.

Section 68 An arrest warrant remains valid until the person is arrested, unless the criminal offense under the warrant has expired or the court which issued the warrant has revoked it.
