Stay away from agents - heard some ladies had bad experience with them. The right thing to do is do border run, pay 20K fine and pray for the mercy of IO

There is no mercy. 7month overstay is a year ban.

People on this forum don't believe us clearly, they seem to not be aware of the exceptions and possibilities down south. I heard the exact same figure, I even posted that figure yesterday here too. I've seen plenty of hippies and Russians/Ukranians fix their overstay that way on islands too.

I doubt that figures. THB60k was before they implemented the bio metric system. Nowadays I heard figures around TBb200-250k.

My buddy has the hassle each year of trying to get a double-entry tourist visa, then and extension, then a border run and maybe one more extension to get him through the coldest months of winter "back home". He generally stays 5 or 5 1/2 months per year. A 90 day "visa exemption" stamp would be perfect as it would only require one border run each trip.

 

Of course your buddy has problem getting a double entry tourist visa, because it doesn't exist anymore. Years ago it has been replaced by the very difficult to obtain multiple entry tourist visa.

Oh so now TAT can change visa rules. Does that mean the Ruskys can just do a boarder run? 3 more months.

Yes, that is what they do.

I have answered you with the easy way for Cambodia.

 

If the Myanmar border was open, of course there would be fees, it is inevitable, but it isn't so it doesn't matter.

 

 

 

 

and which border you usually use ?

So have there been any more discussion/details re the idea of maybe giving 90 day visa free for western folks?  Or is it only all about china and India?

You have to give something in return.

Just got back from a few weeks in Cambodia and brought my excess Cambodian money with me to Thailand, thinking I could exchange it. Went to the one of those yellow exchange booths and was told they don't accept it. Anyone know where I can?

How much you have? We go frequently to Cambodia. 

The next crackdown is written on the wall. To OP, are you completely naive? You post Immigration stamp, clear Reentry permit and you have no idea what you have. 

Tour Companies is the better word and Bangkok as well Pattaya based Companies offer trips to Vientiane.

Also, I am confused as to why the lady who stamped and charged me for the overstay as i left Thailand did not bring this up. The lady who expelled me was not the lady who stamped and charged the overstay. The lady who done that let me through to Cambodia and when i re-entered Thailand was when this happened. Should the lady who charged the overstay when i left not indicate this?

 

 

It is not her duty, do you think with how many people she deal with every day. Many years ago a Immigration Officer told me : Your passport, your responsibility.

But they(extensions) extend the date to which you have to go to a border and inform them of where you are. I though that is the whole point of the 60 day reporting? There is a 60 day limit to how long i can stay before doing this unless i extend. When i extend it puts that back effectively pushing the border reporting requirement date back which throws the date which when the visa ends back also by 30 days.  This was my confusion. Someoene has ponted out that your final entry must happen before that date on the visa. Im thinking all 60 day periods must be finished by that date.Now i know.I have forgiven her. She may enter heaven once again.

Your biggest mistake was to go to that border in the first place. Other borders would have let you in with visa exemption stamp.

You are right on the expired visa, but then they should have let him in visa exempt 

Not in Poi Pet, everyone that reads this Forum regulary should get it by now.

If they are not already doing so, they will apply for tourist visas in Penang or Savannakhet. The queues there on certain days are already completely out of hand. They are set to get worse.

Savannakhet has recently becoming stricter and stricter. Not an easy destination anymore.

Maybe that is what you call it now. But at that time, we all called it visa run. ???? 

The first change to Unlimited visa run was 2006, hence afterwards the word "border run or border bounce" became established. "Visa Run" ,nowadays is used for Visa application at a Thai Embassy.

It will be very interesting to see what the Russian and Ukrainians in Thailand will do for visa runs when they have completed their 2 land border runs. 

 

The land border crossing at Wang Prachan had lines of Russians in March. 

 

Most arrived in November and I expect by middle of May there will be some announcement on changes and relaxing of rules to prevents overstays

Russians have Unlimited access to Thailand, based on Bilateral Agreement signed 2005.

A couple of month ago I bought a iPhone8 (2nd hand), THB4000, runs iOS 16.3.1. I am a heavy user and no issues, runs smooth.

I'm not saying I didn't make mistakes, the rule is 2 entries per calender year which I am still under and any other border I would've been fine.

 

But I appreciate your help, if I have 20,000 baht in my Thai bank account will that work?

You are naive. Prepare THB20000 cash (no ATM before Immigration, onward travel ticket and a rental contract will help you at Airport.

From your description it looks like they were being nice to you (OK, avoiding doing the paperwork) so they likely won't have logged anything before sending you on your way.

 

I would think you'll be just fine to fly back, assuming of course that you meet the new vaxx requirements.

 

 

But he still has the "canceled" exit stamp from Cambodia, that tells every Thai IO the story. But should be Ok at Airport.

Looked up Tilleke and Gibbons. They would probably fall down laughing at my measly (not to me) amount of a few hundred thousand B.

Agree, they handle other accounts.
