Popular Post GarryP Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 I assume you visited the hospital or a doctor when you were sick. If so, couldn't you get a letter from the doctor confirming that you were not fit to travel. It may put you in a better light. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanemax Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 You are on overstay , be very careful , you could end up in IDC , deported and blacklisted . Try to get to border , pay the overstay fine there and then think about getting a new visa from abroad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you qualified for extension stay they might allow you to pay the overstay fine of 500 baht a day and do then do the extension. The best thing to do now is pay the fine on departure from the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 You are 7 days into overstay. You need to deal with this pronto. Jomtien immigration will extend tourist visas with small overstays after you have paid the fine there. 7 days is pushing it a bit. No need what Hua Hin's policy is. What visa are you on? What nationality are you? Fly to a neighbouring country and back would immediately solve your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaMonkey Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 It's going to cost you 500 baht a day for the overstay. Don't go to immigration as you can't get a new visa and you could be arrested if caught. Just apologise and pay the fine when you leave the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the letter before going on overstay it would of allowed him to apply for an extension medical care. After going on overstay it will not help. The fine will still have to paid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you have to worry about taking the ferry. I don't think you will even need to show your passport to board it. At the most it would just be to confirm your identity by showing the photo page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 When do you get to Pattaya? I assume tomorrow (Thursday) Plan A Go straight to immigration Extension (1900 Baht) + Overstay fine (4000 Baht (8 days)) + TM30 fine maybe (1600 Baht) = 7500 Baht. Have the cash ready. Plan B See one of the agents outside and get them to sort it for you. (more than 7500 Baht) Plan C from Pattaya if you can't sort it out at Pattaya immigration, get a van to Ban Phak Kat. They go every day and get a new 30 day entry. You will have to pay the overstay at the border. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontious Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I would check to see if they are running 1 November. The service was suspended 17 Sept -31 Oct due weather. The website says it is available 4pm arrive Pattaya 6pm That would be another day overstay. Edited October 31, 2018 by pontious add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediately go to an airport and fly out from there to a neighboring country (or may be to your home country) after paying the fine. Those flu stories are not going to fly with police or immigration. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in this situation because of your own failings. Get to an airport and pay up, get out now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post otherstuff1957 Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 Forget going to Pattaya, forget going to an immigration office, just head for the nearest airport with cash in hand, pay your overstay and get out of Thailand. You should be able to get a new visa without any difficulty. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyAndRich Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Hell, there are many people that purely just want to scare you on this forum. Ok, you are on overstay, and do not believe there is going to be any use of having an excuse for your situation. However, you should be fine if you report yourself to immigration and pay the fines they will ask for, and you should be able to get your extension. The only thing is that yu must not get caught before in any kind of check out of various reasons. then you will be banned and deported. The best choice for you is to take yourself to the closest border, not Aranyaprathet. Flying out would be the top choice and most safe if you grab a taxi to the airport. Anyhow you will have to pay the fine when you leave. After you can apply for a visa in a nearby country or in your home country. You might get grilled a little bit next time you try to enter Thailand, but should be fine. Just see to that you have all requirements with you when enter. Good Luck!

MARK74 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Can't you just get over to Ban Pu Nam Ron border with Myanmar and cross over there? If you have a land border crossing exempt available then come straight back in with 30 days. Don't hang about, if the hotel staff have picked up on your stay being expired I would get out of that hotel ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be worried that he might hit a checkpoint on the way to a land border and get arrested. He should buy a flight ticket out of Thailand, take the bus to swampy and pay his fine there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is very unlikely he would be checked on the way to the border but he could be, as he could be on the way to the airport. The check points as far as I have been told by others going to the border have only ever been checked for ID purposes and not their visa status but there's a risk of course. I would think his biggest risk is the hotel staff who from the OP apparently know he is on overstay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
