But if you were dealing with girls you can say no, but try saying no to an immigration officer.

This program/app already exists, it's called Outlook (or endless variations on Unix, Mac, Android, etc). You put in a date, and when you want to be reminded. It is also possible to use a pen on a paper calendar, or marker on a whiteboard, or a well-trained parrot.

There were end-less programs, including marker, whiteboard, etc., doing similar things before the first version of Outlook came out.

I think it is the same throughout the world.

It's not the visa expiration that matters. Look at the stamp you got from immigrations at the airport or border. when you entered the country.  It should show admitted until  .... 

 

You should have been admitted for 60 days (assuming you got a tourist visa), and by then either have applied for an extension or left the country.

 

As others have said, go to immigrations and sort it out as soon as you can.

 

Another example of the importance of understanding the difference between a visa and a permission to stay/extension of stay.

Best advice is to stay put from now until April 17. On 17th morning, take the MRT from Rama 9 to Chatuchak and take a taxi to Changwatana. Arrive before 8AM. Pay the fine, extend it for 30 days and become 100% legit.

 

I am planning to write an app that will start reminding people (two weeks before) when their stay will be over, when 90-day reporting is due, when extension is due, etc. What do you think of the demand for such an app?

 

Any suggestion for a name?

Are you sure that the 30 day extension will start the day you pay your overstay fine.

 

I suspect that you may find that you will be fined for the overstay and the 30 day extension will start the day your original permission to stay ended. If that is the case then the sooner you pay your overstay the cheaper it will be. So the extension is likely to be until 25th April total cost 12,900, 22 days overstay + 1,900 extension.

That is one of the reasons I suggested a border hop for a visa exempt entry might be a better option. Having paid the fine, you get a full 30 days, besides it being cheaper.

How will your app calculate 90 day reports if leaving the Country before the 90 day period, re-entering 3 weeks later and your report date automatically changes.

not open monday so that's another 500 baht. you see where brit tim was coming from with his suggestion. should have had that sorted by now and you'd have paid less and had full 30 days stamp

User needs to scan the entry stamp every time. App will keep track of all entries (and departures also to give false alert about reporting when the person is not inside Thailand).

I actually think that any attempt is blocked by those higher up, and it is written in tablets of stone, not to show leniency towards overstays.

 

If they granted the Immigration.Officers this kind of leeway where cash is concerned, it would surely be abused with claims they allowed foreigners off with the fines when they didn't.

 

On occasions, we are talking big lumps of money here depending on the length of overstay.

I really think it out of the IO hands

He /she has to fine the over stayer due to the stamp dates in the passport not lining up
