cubism001 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 My tourist visa expires on the 27th & I leave on the 2nd of the next month. The fine is 500 baht per day, and I can pay it at the airport when i leave. is that correct? Geting pretty nervous about this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yes you can. When the IO at passport control sees you’ve overstayed they will send you to the overstay desk where you pay the fine and get your passport stamped. Its a very common process and nothing to worry about. You would be better advised to extend your stay (if you can) rather than overstay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blorg Posted November 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2018 Note as well even if you have already extended you can apply for a second extension on your last or second last day. It will be rejected but they will give you seven days more (from the date of application, not your current stamp) to get out. This is cheaper (1,900) than six days overstay (3,000) as well as less legal risk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted November 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2018 It not likely to happen there is alway the risk of getting caught with an overstay on the way to the airport. IMO my it would be best to apply for an extension, pay the 1900 baht fee and be granted 7 days to leave the country after the application is denied. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Yes, no matter how some people may want to make it seem like a trivial matter, once your permission to stay ends you are in the country illegally. You probably won't encounter a problem, but it's still better to be safe by getting an extension of your permission to stay at an immigration office or, if you already have one extension, apply for a second extension ... it will be denied but you'll still get an additional 7 days to leave.

pi2005ni Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Much better to get the extension at Immigration as you risk getting caught on overstay . This can easily happen should you be involved in any type of incident that involves showing your passport , including accident, pickpocket, assault etc .

ubonjoe Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 FYI he is going to get the 7 days to leave the country according to a message I got from him. He did not know that was possible, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
