Adam219 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 My extension of stay expires on 21st Sept. I've found a flight from BKK to Korea leaving at 2.50am on the 22nd that would suit me quite well. Am I right in thinking that I can "exit" thailand in the airport and stay until my flight the next day, without overstaying? is there an official time limit on this and is it airport specifc?

ericthai Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 according to the rules, they go by the time of the flight so technically you would be on overstay. However, if it's only 1 day it wont be an issue if flying out of BKK. Normally a 1 day overstay at BKK there is no fine. If they stamp your passport or not is up to the IO. If I were you I would just be prepared to pay it (500thb), as it is possible the IO might try and collect the fee (unofficially). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lite Beer Posted September 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2022 There will be no fine. Just a small stamp in your passport that will give you no problems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.B Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 It's no problem. Check in early though. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you, but what is this stamp? Overstay 1 day doesnt give any problems whatsoever in the future? I want to come back next as early as possible next year.

The flight is 2.35am, so I'd be looking at checking in 3 hours+ before which would be on the 21st effectively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says how many days and how much you paid as a fine (if anything). It will cause no problems whatsoever. Here is the one in my passport, never been mentioned on entering; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorry Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have done this before, and a friend of mine about 2 years ago. No problems, no stamp, no fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to come back next as early as possible next year. I had a one day overstay with no problems on subsequent trips. I don't remember if they stamped my passport. The kiosk IO sent me to a manager, who asked me why I overstayed. I told her I counted wrong, which is true, she just sent me on my way with no scolding or lecture. The whole thing took one or two minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigeone Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I've done this and as said just went through early what was in effect the day before . They mentioned it but no stamp or fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmorton Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I believe that any overstay of any duration would make you permanently ineligible to apply for an elite visa. Of course that would only qualify as a "consequence" if you were thinking seriously about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True the PE (elite visa) are serious about overstays it's incorrect to state they have zero tolerance. Especially short overstay. In this case one day.
