No any good low cost ways to get out of it.

One suggested way is to turn yourself in and be put into the immigration detention center then plead your cast to a judge. The judge could waive the ban. You would then be deported after paying the fine set by the judge.

Hmm.. If I simply come to airport will I be detained for such overstay? I'm ready to pay 20k fine. Can I easily leave the country after paying the fine?

You would not be detained at an airport. Just pay the fine and be banned for one year. It is almost a certainty that you will be banned.

When you go through passport control the IO will see your overstay and send you to the overstay desk. You won't be detained as long as you pay the 20K fine. They will stamp your passport with details of the overstay and ban, and let you leave. Probably best to allow an extra 20-30 mins for the overstay/ban to get processed.

Thanks. So no any option not to be banned in the passport control? Pleading or paying more won't help?

Nope. I'd say getting banned is a dead cert at the airport. There are allegedly 'fixers' that can arrange for you to exit formally (probably at a land border) without being banned, but I don't know how you go about doing that. It would be expensive.

you should probably have a look at the calendar to avoid compromising your immigration status in this fashion. Too late for that, so, need to engage in extreme resolution methods which there are some options you can pursue to save your bacon!

Which option can you recommend for me in this situation?

@ubonjoe has suggested the only legal solution that might work, if you have the gift of the gab. That solution will involve a couple of days in detention (even with prior planning) and the chances of success are not great. Other ways you might avoid the consequences of your actions involve fixers and illegal activities that cannot be discussed on this board. Some with knowledge of these corrupt activities may PM you to let you know how they work.

30k no ban including the fine. find them yourself. if you speak a bit of thai you could even cut out the middle man. best of luck, don't overstay again but i guess you already know that

I know a Burmese girl who overstayed more than an year (yes on an actual visa, I saw it).  She just walked over the border back home and came back with a new visa. I bet the OP doesn't get one as quick.

If you PM illegal activities, it stays illegal and this forum will support that. So I wouldn't suggest that.

Why should you expect to be able to avoid a year ban, you obviously knew you were overstaying.   If you deliberately break a countries laws you have no reason to think that you can avoid the consequences.

It is 500 baht a day. 90 days 45,000. I think they will just arrest you first and hold you in jail till the judge is ready to see you. Why the hell did you leave it for 90 days. You do not have any options.

20K is the maximum fine under law. If you are prosecuted in court the fine is likely to be a lot less at around 5-6K.

I have been here for  15 years on a visa Never an overstay but I accept the fact that someone can overstay a visa However 90 days is just plain irresponsibility on your part OK 3 weeks a month ya but  90 days Your lazy

Hi guys,

 

Has anyone had more than 90 days overstay? Any option to avoid being banned for 1 year for visiting Thailand?

Overstay 3 months what have you done by those days not even thinking about going to the immigration ? This is your own fault bye bye.

Deliberately putting yourself through the court system is a very, very bad idea. Unless you have a justifiable reason for overstaying the court will find you guilty and prosecute you. That would then give immigration the power to ban you for 5 years instead of 1.

 

The decision to ban you is down to the IO/supervisor at the border. It is not illegal for them to let you off. Bribery/corruption etc would be the illegalities.

How  would immigration be able to ban him for 5 years if he voluntarily turned himself in to immigration. The rules state if caught with an overstay.

Also the judge has the authority to waive the banning if he if he feels the ban is not justified.

I find it concerning that having already contravened the overstay rules that someone is now looking for more ways (legal or illegal) to side step those rules.  If you mess up, suck it up and hopefully learn from your mistakes. If you do something illegal to overcome the stuff up and are caught out , it may well cause even more grief.:wai:

'Can't help but speculate that the OP overstayed by so much and then can't tolerate a year's ban because he has either a family, a gf, a permanent residence, and/or an illegal job perhaps with no place really to go back to in his home country for an entire year.  And while he doesn't provide any details (which is just as well), I wouldn't know but wouldn't be surprised to learn it's all on tourist visas.   Certainly there are other possibilities, but I'd bet few of them any less problematic than the one I mention.   If however this is all the result of being in an unexpected coma or held by kidnappers for 90 days or more, I do apologize.
