Hi,

Due to a miscalculation, I will have to overstay for 1 day next month before taking my flight out to NZ. I spend a lot of time here, although I'm not retired or old enough, and have never overstayed before. So assuming I turn up to the airport (at Samui), apologise and pay my fine, will this affect any future touist visa/entry permits I might have?

there is no problem for the future, if you pay your fine on the airport. But if you checked from the police before you reached the airport, you have much trouble. You can´t go to the airport, you go in jail directly and must wait for you deportation. After this you are in the blacklist for many years.

Be carefully.....

My wife entered Thailand on her US passport that had a Tourist Visa since her Thai Passport was expired. Now she has overstayed her Tourist Visa. My question is when we leave next year July 08 if she renews her Thai Passport will they still charge a Thai citizen the overstay fines?

I think she should have just shown her Thai passport when we arrived, but at the time it seemed like a bad idea.

Any advice would be helpful. Is there any way we can prevent from paying the 20,000 baht for the overstay (currently 45 days over) since she is a Thai citizen?

Thanks in advance,

Jared

your wife cannot show her Thai-Passport, if she leave Thailand. You must show the same passport, which used by the entry. If not, the immigration officer will ask you for the US-Passport, because he see this in his Computer.

My wife before had the same scenario.

If your wife have two passports, so she can go outside (very easy in Mesai) with her US-Passport, pay the fine there and come back 5 min. later with her Thai-ID-Card.

So she is stamped out with the US-Passport and stay in Thailand as Thai. Now she can use her Thai-Passport for go out. In USA she go in with the US-Passport.

My wife do this many years without problems.

My Son's visa expires today we cannot get to the Burmese Border today so will go tomorrow.

Has anyone experienced any problems with overstay at the Tachelek border crossing?

your son have no problem, if he show his passport at the Tachilek Border.

But be careful - if one of the many checkpoints before stop you and check the passport - your son can not go any place more.

They bring him to Bangkok and deported him to his country with an entry in the blacklist for long time.

If you ring immigration they will tell you to simply pay the overstay fine at the airport... or if you have 1900baht and a day to spend at the immigration office then you can get an extention... easier and cheaper to pay the fine at the airport, it takes 5 minutes, they will stamp your passport with the overstay fine... the only hassle I can see is the stamp takes up space in your passport

yes, the immigration in CMX told me the same 3 years ago. But the forget to tell me, what is happen - if the police checked me

on the way to the airport.

If this happen, you can´t leave the place - you go in the jail first and then you must wait for your

deportation - after this you are blacklisted for many years.

if you have two passports then I asume you could use two to stay on two lots of "90 out of 180" and be here the whole time

do not think, that it is possible to travel with two passports and the immigration don´t know it.

My wife have two passports (one Thai and one German).

3 years ago, she traveled with the German Passport, then we start to move to Thailand and she changed to the Thai-Passport.

Last year we fly to K.L and she did show her Thai Passport to the immigration on the Airport/ Chiang Mai.

The officer looked in his computer and ask she for the German Passport. After she show him this passport, he checked this shortly and

then he start to talk with my wife.

He know all about her travels, overstay etc.

If you show your second passort, it is possible that he asked you for the another one.

Much ado about nothing as I just got back from Poi Pet with my 4th stamp since Oct 1 and not a word was spoken. My stamps are as follows:

Oct 3

Nov 1

Dec 2

Dec 29

I come back from Poi Pet too - the man before me got the 2nd Stamp in his passport - a lady from the immigration warned him, that the next time he can get the last stamp and the 4th stamp will be only for 7 days to leave the country.

How you can get a visa stamp on Nov 1 and the next on Dec 2 - that´s more than 30 days ????

You make a overstay?

As you are not resident in Thailand, only visiting on a visa, then immigration will not issue a certificate of residence.

Most Embassies do issue a letter confirming your address, sometime only in the language of the Embasy. OK it English or Thai but needs a certified translation if most other languages.

If I made my Thai Driverlicense 3 years ago, I need this certificate of residence too. The immigration give me this without problems with my NON-0 (multiple).

They give me 3 copies. One I used for the driver license, with another one I go to my Amphoe and applied a Tabien Ban.

After one year I must renewed my DL, after I show my Tabien Ban, I got 5 years.

No problems here in Chiang Mai.

ChinTHai, do you have any ideas if the officer had pulled her up based on her name or passport numbers?

the new e-passports (german and thai) must only slashed through the reader and he have all your travel history on his screen.

Also from one day overstay (3 years ago) the officer know it.

I think it is danger to try to shit the immigration with two passports. I think, if you show your second passport with the new visa, he will ask you for the another passport, and if he see - that you have the limit of visas already - maybe you have a big problem.

Might be possible , but if you change Passport you have to fly out .

Not sure if the Computer System will capture/compare old/new data.

the immigration officer on the airport know, if somebody use 2 passports.

My wife have also two passports - 3 years ago, she come to thailand with her German passport, than

she applied a thai passport too.

After this, she go to Mesai/Burma, go out with the German passport an go in with the Thai-ID card.

This year we go to K.L for renew my Non-Immigrant O - after the immigration in C.M. checked her Thai passport, he ask my wife, if she can show her German passport too :-)

Then the officer show her the history for our travels to and from Thailand on his computer - he know all about traveling in and out from Thailand.

Hello,

i'm planning to go to Kualar Lumpur next week with a non-stop AirAsia flight from Chiang Mai.

Any experiences how long the embassy needs for the paperwork, because i would like to book the

return flight in advance.

I decided to go now with the hope of a double entry TV before the masses are comming in two month.

I went there 4 weeks ago.

You need 4 days (three nights).

If you come K.L. from CNX, it is to late for go to the embassy. So you must go there next day from

9.30 am to 11.30 am.

Then you must wait to next day for get your visa. And after you have the visa, you can fly back next day - because it is to late for the same day go home.

Perhaps you get only one entry - here I have many different information. Some get 2 entry, some only one.

Good luck :-)

I have a burmese maid working for me for the last 3 years.

She has a PINK id and a 1 year work permit which i renew every year with no problems.

However, when she went back to Myanmar for her holiday, she aquired a passport at Yangon with no problems.

They gave her a 90 day tourist visa which expire 9th October.

What visa does she need nowto stay and which embassy to go, as not a lot of embassy's will help or do visa for Burmese.

Also, does this invalidate her work permit?

I am so annoyed at her, as she had everything on place for the last 3 years and will never need a passport.

As there are only a few days left what can we do?

whitz

normally Burmese people must not go to an embassy. Here in Chiang Mai the go to a spezial Government house - called Salangang.

There Burmese people received work papers and stamp for stay.

I don´t know the practice in BKK.

That is what immigration is saying. For marriage you must have income of 40k per month. It can by your income, spouse income or combination.

For Smithson

Believe you would be set if married. Just be sure the marriage is the right option.

must the income be a pension?

What I must do, if I have income from properties?

So a German rent my house there and send me the money (60.000 Baht) every

month to my account in Thailand.

How I can show papers about this income.

Is it enough, when the leasing-contract is confirmed from a government-office and then

translated in Thai?

>>Can anyone with experience help me out please?

yes, I come from K.L. now - it is easy to get a Non-0.

you must have only a copy from your marriage certificate in Thai translated.

ID-card from your wife (copy)

thats all.

>>Best flight times to coincide with embassy?

start 10.30 am

3. Places to stay in Kl? Taxi fare from airport to city?

Baht 600,- from Airport to Chinatown.

A nice hotel inside the market ist

chinatown Inn

are their any asian countrys issuing double or triple entry visas to thailand at the moment? or do i have to go to hull uk??

yes, the embassy in Kuala Lumpur - at the moment issued double entry tourist visas.

Penang stopped it, few days ago.

Tomorrow I fly to K.L. for a Non-0 - perhaps the give me 6 month

>>also ... are they now saying that so long as i have a tourist visa then its possible i will be able to renew it ?

no fear please.....

I spoke with different Immigration officers - at time, the new rules will be made only for VOA Visas.

So if you go out and made a tourist/NON-0 Visa, so you can do this any time and come back too.

Visa Runs for Tourist Visas are not the problem.

Please think: this is valid only for at time - tomorrow all immigration chiefs will held a meeting for this, so I think Sunbelt Asia can give us the newest information on 16th of September.

60 day tourist visas 180 days in 180 days out

I think not...

A realy tourist visa you can get only vom outside Thailand. The new rules are only for the VOA´s

not for other Visa types.

From 1st of October, you can without problem have a NO-0 Visa, i.e. you are married with a Thai or support a Thai child.

Without marry with a Thai citizen, maybe the time will be harder :-(

I have been visiting nearby countries for short holidays and getting three month, single entry visas from the consulate. Does that count as a visa run?

no, this is not at time not a visa run, because it es not a VOA-Visa.

It can not be, that every trip in your home country is declared as visa run, if you come back with a new visa.

Question:

where you get your tourist visa for 3 month and you are married with Thai?

I have the same problem now. I think I go to Kuala Lumpur or Penang. I am married with a Thai.

They told me for getting a three entry Tourist Visa I must go to Penang.Consulates can do more

Thanks - Penang is a little bit far from Chiang Mai :-(

Is there a Consulate in Jinghong/Kumning

(China)? This is a 50min fly from here.

hello,

with this new rules I have following problems now:

My NON-0 is expired 7 month ago and from this time I go to Mesai/Tachilek for

renew my VISA (VOA), because I want not go home till April next year.

If I go to Kuala Lumpur for a NON-0 Visa (multiple or 3 entries), is it possible - and how long I can get a visa

3 month or longer?

I´m married with a Thai and have a Thai son.

Can somebody help with an info.
