Looks like in this case you were wrong.

I wonder though what the entry in the computer said, his passport obviously has a ผ.45 note which doesn't match 90 days from the stamp.

 

This explanation doesn't make much sense, due to the ผ.45 note in the passport which means visa exempt 45 days.

I guess they understood that the problem was caused by one of them and wanted to give an easy way out, good for your friend.

Seems like he got very lucky.

But as we mentioned there is nothing to lose at the moment to try.

We still don't understand what exactly is the situation as the OP is talking about 90 day reporting on exempt entry.

Is it possible that he entered on an NON-O visa, and the officer stamped an exempt entry stamp. If this was the case then the outcome would make a lot of sense. As he speaks about a yearly extension which would not even be possible on an exempt entry stamp.

So he may have never been under overstay just stamped incorrectly. Which is easily correctable.

I would recommend to approach the problem is this way:

Always act stupid, like you don't know that anything is wrong, for the general person it's not obvious, and because the problem is caused by the wrong stamp by IO they might try to solve it without much trouble.

Complete a TM7 form to apply for a standard 30 day extension, take the required copies, photos, etc. and go to apply for this extension, just hand in your documents like everything is alright, don't say anything.

At some point they will notice that the stamp in the passport is wrong, when they mention it do again act stupid and let them find a solution.

Never mention that you were aware of this problem. If you are lucky you might get around the 20k overstay fine.

 

But bring 20k for the fine (and 2*1900THB for two extensions, regular 30 day extension and 60 day covid extension) with you, in case you have to pay it you can sort it out on the spot.

Make sure that there is enough time, it might take them a bit to sort out this mess.

 

 

There is no way past the 20,000 THB fine, as he has overstayed. Ignorance will not change the fact that he is over 40 days of overstay, and a fine is required.

The lucky part would be if they even allowed him an extension as he has already passed max fine which is 40 days.

Sometimes they deny extension, and his only option is to exit the country which would he would be able to do without blacklist as long as it is under 90 days.

It's worth a try though as we have not heard of anyone getting 7 day stamps with an order to leave like they did before March 2020.

The issue seems to be that he was given incorrect permission of stay. Should have been stamped in for 45 days.

He has the 800k in the bank so normally he would attend imm and obtain his non O which would give him 90 day permission of stay. In the last 30 days of that 90 day POS he would obtain his annual extension. 

He needs to focus on this incorrect stamp. Again we assume he entered visa exempt. 

If you had more time up your sleeve I would suggest the assistance of visa agent. Not for the financials but help to sort out stamp.

You don't have time my suggestion would be to attend CW Monday.

@ThaiVisaCentre any suggestions for this guy?

We would need to see the stamps to determine what exactly is going on.

He can always contact my team via LINE

We have not heard anything yet ????, but if we do know anything we will post it here.

That is very high. Grace implied they could undercut the usual 15,000 or so for a retirement extension.

I found his initial email, and offered a very low price for a retirement extension, and also offered to do a 60 day extension for him for 1,900 THB (0 THB service charge).

We try to help if we can.

My team did not let me know about this case.

Like I mentioned before this is an extreme case, and I wish to help as you are almost 90.

Thanks very much. Incidently they fined me BT2000 because my90 day report was a few days latew, but no receipt

If you need help with your yearly extension of stay just let my team know.

Covid-19 extensions are too risky. A foreigner have to apply for this extension about 1 month before the expiry date of his existing extension. After that the foreigner have to wait for 2 weeks for approval. And what to do in case of rejection? We have only 2 weeks remaining to find an alternative solution.

If you worry we offer this service with guaranteed approval, and no under consideration stamp (full 60 day extension).

Under standard circumstances we charge 5,400 THB for this service (already includes the 1,900 THB fee).

If you are in Bangkok we offer free pickup/dropoff of your documents.

I have STV, but it's really annoying to extend it, they asking such requirementswhere I've stayed 

 

Where I've stayed the previously 3 months, the problem I didn't even had some hotel booking I just paid to the hotel, no receipt, etc... how I can proof all of that, as I've stayed many places in Thailand for few days there, few days another place, etc.

So, If I told them I just wanna stay 1 months as actually is due to the COVID, isn't possible to get a COVID 60 days extension, instead of a complicated procedures about extend the STV ?

Seems very complicated to extend this STV, I rather prefer to have 60 days COVID extension on it, & back to my country. 

I can have only this : 

 

ASQ Certificate, covid test, payment receipts.
TM7

Photos

Copy passport Visa, etc.

I am only staying hotel here, so almost with Agoda.

Can Agoda booking should be fine ?(for the next 3 months exemple) and my previous stay proof ?
the TM30 ? should I ask the hotel or the Immigration will get it automatically.

 

I don't know which provinces I should ask the extension, with less complications, I am as long stay tourist here, I don't rent any condo, just hotel anywhere I move, etc.

We can assist with this type of thing, and ensure you get the 60 day extension without any issues.

Send my team a message.

Like mentioned multiple times here the start date in your case will be October 31st.

You are not over 1 year yet so the blacklist should be one year, a three year blacklist that would start after October 2021.

But there could always be a misunderstanding upon exit ????.

Sounds like they would rather be legal. 

Not sure what is implied by this comment.

At the moment they are not legal, and are staying here illegally.

Some agents might be able to help them, get back on the legal route of having a valid permission of stay.

Would have been a lot easier if he just contacted an agent months ago.

The biggest problem at the moment to get to Istanbul overland  would be virtually impossible IMHO.

 

They would have to go via Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, probably Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria , Jordan, Lebanon which will get them to the Mediterranean. from there the options would be easier to get to the UK.

 

At every border there would be holdups due to various wars and Covid would be a blocker all the way and all the time.

 

I don't know what meds the son is on but they would need to take at least 3 months supply and if any meds need to be kept in a fridge, overland would be ruled out.

 

Sorry for the dismal posts but quite a while ago I had planned to take 2 Land Rovers and trailers from Singapore to the UK and that was long before Covid and many of the local wars that pop up every so often.

 

We decided not to make the trip and we were 4 fit young men, and could see the difficulties that lay ahead.

Have you tried to contact my team yet regarding this situation?

My team would need to see the exact expiration dates / last visas, and see if anything can be done (if anything).

But as other posters have posted the longer you wait the more complicated things get, and eventually the only option will be to leave the country.

Why should there be another Covid visa extension? Return to your home country where you get vaccinated. 

If they were going to cancel it they would have done it last time.

We highly doubt they will cancel the order in the middle of a spike of cases.

Out of the all the times they extended it we are the least concerned this time around, but anything can happen ????.

It was a very different situation last year as there was a lot of active Tourism, and COVID-19 struck everyone off guard.

We expect visa amnesty to not return as they created a special 60 day extension to replace it, and they will keep extending this order as long as they have to.

Were there any issues?

This is unfortunate, if you do decide to seek agent assistance you can send my team a message, and we can sort it out as quickly as possible.

We are still offering door-to-door service if you are in the Bangkok area.

For 60 day extensions we charge 5,400 THB (includes the government fee of 1,900 THB).
 

• Guaranteed approval if we accept
• Document pickup / drop-off (Free)
• Full 60 day stamp (no under consideration)
• Live application tracking / notifications
• Quick turnaround
   

If you need a full service extension you can contact my team via LINE: @ThaiVisaCentre.
 

After rereading your comment, what did you mean by "Tourist 30 day"?

I have to assume you are talking about exempt entry, and for most countries the exempt entry has been extended to 45 days. This gives you adequate time to apply for your non-o after you leave your quarantine hotel. 

But if you are from one of the countries which only gets a 30 day exempt entry then we do understand the need to process your extension while under quarantine. The alternative is to obtain a 60 day extension based on section-5 (COVID-19) after you leave the ASQ hotel, and then apply for your non-o (this is if the section-5 order is extended again to cover your dates, as of now the last day to apply is May 29th).
 

We have been able to coordinate this with most ASQ hotels, but this could be because we also run the ASQ.in.th booking platform, and have existing established relationships with almost all of the ASQ hotels while following all additional COVID-19 protocols.

When we first started this was quite difficult, and ability to pickup documents varied hotel by hotel. So you should ask the hotel first if they allow this, or contact our team to confirm this for you.

We have many clients that are in CM.

Please send our team a message for price/process comparison.

Sad news today, we will have to also disable 7 / 10 day options on our platform soon until any further notice.

Hopefully we get covid under control. ???? ????
