Refund for overstay fine after 26/3

[Dan144]

Hello guys!

 

I renewed my visa on the 6th of April and paid 2000 baht overstay fine since my visa finished on 2/4. Do you know if it is possible to get any refund for it? Did someone try to get it at all?

 

Thanks!

There is no way you could get a refund since the order did no go into effect until after you got fined.

You could have avoided overstay. Chose not to and now want refund. Nup

In fairness, he could have overstayed without penalty had he known what the eventual Ministerial Order was going to contain. It was his hard luck that he guessed wrong.

you would like a 2K baht refund from the IMO  555 .... they barely return the 100 baht change from 1,900 baht visa renewals when giving them 2 K

Guys I appreciate your helpful comments, but you never know what the reasons that made it not possible for me to not overstay so why immediately judging?

Ok, there is no option. So I will live without this 2k baht but not being arrogant and judgemental is actually free, you can try it

A inflammatory post has been removed. A repeat of it will result in a formal warning.

They give the 100 baht back at Jomtien Immigration and you even get a receipt for the 1900 baht you paid for the extension.

Removed an incomprehensible post and the replies to it.

The fine should've been 1000B for two days (500B a day).  Did you get a receipt?

2/4 - 6/4 = 4days.

Sorry, I learned dates different month then day, so I read it as only 2 days.

My VISA ran out on the 29th of March - I was in hospital the week before in ICU very unwell and took proof... I went to the alternative VISA extension site on Monday but like many were turned aways at 9am as they were already full! So I went Tuesday and got my 30 day extention (after 10 hours) - they also charged me 2 days over stay!!! NOt interested in my medical records.  How could I do the extention on a Sunday and then to be turned away Monday then still charged --- the immigration service showed no compasion and the snotty lady actually said "Pay NOW or go AWAY!" - And they wonder why people who have gone through this hell will never return and tourists in general wont return after the utter disgusting treatment of such a low trained starzi self important group of people....  I feel cheated and that immigration clearly were profiteering from Covid 19 for the Government - look now begging billionaires for money.  When I got through they only had 7 desks operational and told everyone to not take video ... but many did... never been treated so badly - anyways people have cottoned on that Vietnam is better now anyways .... I hope they choke on the 1000 Bhat because I'm pulling my cash out and leaving after 10 years based on 1000 Bhat fine, a principle is a principle ---- refund haha, more chance of finding a Unicorns turd!

Was a Work Permit but currently trying to convert to a marriage VISA as I'm no longer with the company.... had to go Tourist VIsa until I get it then all this happened and its been put on hold, even 60 day extensions which would have been perfect to get the correct 90 renewal (Marriage/Family) VISA.  1000 Bhat is nothing to me what so ever - its a pitance, its the way they went about retrieval - they are in serious need of training - very poor and low skilled in everything apart from stamping things and demanding money... starzi
