You have until 23:59 on the date of the visa expiry to depart.  You need to calculate the check in, the 23:59, and the flight.  

Yeah I understand - but my flight is at 6:30 (the day after the expiration) 

Since immigration is after the check in, which opens at 3:30 am, it would mean I would still be overstaying by about 3 and a half hours

am I missing something?

thank you so much

Cross immigration way earlier than your flights, and hang round in the departure lounge for 5 or 6 hours.

is that possible?? I would totally do that if it's possible - i thought i can only do immigration after i check in? (check in opens only 3 hours before the flight) 

hello everyone

So my husband is on a work visa and i am a dependent (o visa). 

We are leaving thailand and his employer cancelled the work permit a day earlier than planned and told us only the next day (where normally they both should be cancelled the same day). this resulted in both of us getting a fine for being a day late cancelling the visa (both of our visas, so one fine each), as well as having the 7 day extension start & end earlier than we thought it would. (the 7 days they give you to leave the country)

So now my issue is that the flight home was booked already before all that happened, and it was booked to a day after the 7 day extension ends. 

It's at 6:30 in the morning so actually the overstay would be about 4 hours, not even a day.

The officer at immigration said I can just pay a one day fine. But I am still worried about this.

I know usually such a short overstay isn't an issue. However - since I already had that one fine for cancelling the visa late (there's no overstay stamp however), and also since those 7 days are not a regular extension but are 7 days to leave the country (that period you get when you cancel a visa), would it be more serious? 

Fines are not a problem. I just want to make sure it won't give me problems that are more serious than a fine. Changing the flight or doing a visa run just for these 4 hours would be a huge hassle, but If it needs to be done I'll do it.

Any help would be appreciated! 

Thank you
