BANGKOK: Police in Thailand have arrested a British man for overstaying his tourist visa by a record 25 years, a senior officer told AFP on Tuesday (Feb 25).

The 60-year-old, who has not been identified, entered the kingdom in early 2000 on a tourist visa and never left, evading previous police checks by claiming to be in the process of extending his visa.
