The only exception is probably soi 9 beach road. There they focus on foreigners. Helmet and license check. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be well groomed & polite. Do not go to any Immigration Office. They are entitled to lock u up There's no need to pay more than the official 20,000 baht. Other than this, that's good advice. As they cannot speak any English, I'm not sure how far being polite will go, there's no real exit interview where they try to establish the reasons for the overstay. They'll run it through their system, collect the fine and blacklist the overstayer, then stamp them out. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohy Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 18 hours ago, GordonP said: Just flag one possible issue. Many of the check on desks don't open until 3 hours before ETD. Get there very early, sort out where the check in desk will be and be at the front of the queue. I flew Qatar three weeks ago and arrived early 5 hours before ETD and was still about 50th in the queue. After checking in there was a massive queue at security with lots of Chinese delaying things. That was all before I got to Immigration. 100% agree and great advice if possible fly with a airline that has permanently open check ins Most check in s only open 3 hours prior then you have rigmarole of passport immigration queues before paying your bin! so at best get there really early you want to be at the front of any check in queue.

Chivas Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Entire thread and nobody has asked why the OP overstayed 2 years in the first place. Far to lenient are the Thais even with a 3 year ban which has only just started in last few years More than 1 month should be a lifetime ban except if hospitalised simple as. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could answer why someone who has overstayed for longer than a month (except if hospitalised) should be allowed in to do it again in the future What possible normal reason can an individual have for overstaying that long ?? Frankly I'd enforce it at a weeks overstay but for now 1 month will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyril sneer Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I wonder if the 20k works out cheaper than 2 years of visa runs and travel for 90-day checks ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like, or charge something like 10k a year to stay and forget the pathetic Elite visa. Corruption would end if you could just pay 10k a year no time wasting proof of this that and the other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdyP Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I was on a 3 month overstay once, at airport immigration I spotted a happy female immigration officer and joined her que, she did not check my entry exit dates which saved me several thousand baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
