Drew3223 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Is there a two day overstay fine? Or a two month overstay fine if you don't have a new visa? And when does a new 30 day extension go from? From the day it is given, or the 26th Sept? Amy idea @Udon john 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Overstay is per day 500baht. Capped at 20000baht If you apply for extension it will commence the day you apply Edited July 24, 2020 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I recommend waiting for Immigration to clarify this, which they should do within a few days. Most members right now will tell you that the overstay will run from September 26th if you do nothing before then. I am not so sure this will be the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SePl Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 All 300000 foreigners won't be able to get a visa or leave for September 26th, so it's sure that it will be extended again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innosiem Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 leaving 28th, leave by air 500 baht fine (possibly 1000 baht due to amnesty) leave by land 1000 baht fine (they give 1 day grace at airport under normal circumstances) cap is 20k but i think staying here on overstay now may carry much more risk, as there is no haystack if you are on a short stay visa or exempt it seems you must make an effort to leave or have a valid reason why you cannot which is unlikely to "no direct flights" as it is possible to reach many countries regardless of travel duration, cost or inconvenience to yourself. example of valid case to stay, you booked your flight but broke your arm days before flying..... (cannot fly with plaster cast????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they extend the amnesty beyond 26th September. Anything is possible, with the virus still raging in many parts of the world and most places suffering from new spikes when they have tried to restore even halfway to normality. The UK PM has said the virus may not be behind us for another year, and I think it's entirely possible that the ban of entering the country will continue. The Thai government has demonstrated over and over again that it is putting health before a jobless and starving population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In June, I was not sure the amnesty would be extended. By mid July, with no statement that people had to leave now, I was pretty sure there would be a way to stay for a month or two, possibly with a warning that this was the last chance to get affairs in order.

It will probably not be extended again. And if people have to leave they can start looking for flights today if they need to. Why wait until it's to late and be on overstay. There's been flights out of the country for weeks. And I hardly doubt there are 300k stranded tourists around looking for outbound flights. Some of them don't even know they can leave the country next week if they need, unless they are Aussies. Tickets might be a little bit more expensive,though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have not opened up to any arriving flights and some are not even allowing their own citizens to enter.

Other threads are contradicting this.... some may get extensions with supporting docs or an Embassy letter, some may get a Visa, but I suggest Immigration may have got the broom out of the cupboard (unless some persuasive pressure creates a change of heart by Sept....)

The Op stated nothing about applying for an extension. They certainly will not be automatic. He asked what happens if you exit 2 days post Sept 26. Clearly if he obtains an extension he can exit any time prior to expiry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me ONE post where OP mentioned applying for an extension. His post was clear. What happens if you exit 2 days post Sept 26. The answer is equally clear. Pay 1000baht upon exit. 2x 500 baht.

Of course, in theory, authorities could show up at his place on September 27th and arrest him for overstaying. Unlikely but theoretically possible. Other than that, it's what you said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
