PHUKET: Phuket Immigration has confirmed that any persons who still have not filed an application to extend their permit to stay will now be fined B500 a day overstay, following the national ‘visa amnesty’ expiring on Saturday (Oct 31).

 

“Any persons who still have not filed an application to extend their stay, regardless of which type of visa they were staying on before, will be fined B500 a day, starting from Sunday [Nov 1],” Phuket Immigration Deputy Chief Lt Col Udom Thongchin told The Phuket News today (Nov 3).

 

However, those who had been misinformed by immigration officers that they had to leave the country to change their type of visa, or had their applications to extend their stay not accepted because they were told they had a ‘visa amnesty stamp’ in their passport, were given until close of yesterday (Nov 2) to file their applications.

I have thought they use computers with access to central databases. But from the original article :

 

"Lt Col Udom said his office was unable to determine whether any foreigners staying on the island still had yet to file applications to extend their stay. “Some foreigners will have filed applications in other provinces,” he said."
