Overstay more than 90 days

[Milton85]

When you show up at airport immigration, If you overstay for more than 90 days, there is no chance to avoid the ban that doesn't allow you to re-enter Thailand for the relevant period according to the length of your overstay?

Why do you want to know? Are you overstayed for more than 90-days? Or may be you are planning to overstay.

Unfortunately I believe you are screwed - 20,000 Baht fine and banned for 1 year (assuming it's less than one year overstay and you don't get caught before the airport). You can also say goodbye to the option of an Elite Visa and potentially have issues with other countries on seeing the stamp in your passport.

This is Thailand.  Always a chance.  For 99%, there is ZERO Chance, you will be banned and blacklisted, etc......  but there is that 1% in this world.   Example:  Someone super famous who simply just forgot, whatever.....  CEO of a massive company and  their company lapsed on the visa thing....maybe a billionaire who just forgot......presidents....etc....who knows.....YES< there are the exceptions.

 

those exceptions would never post here.   lol

Maybe we want to know if we are chatting with someone breaking the laws of Thailand!!!!  That would matter to me.   This is a very serious immigration issue, and you could be arrested.   If I knew I was talking to someone who could be arrested and posted all over the internet as a criminal, yes, I would want to know!!!!!!

Yes, there is no chance.

Then maybe keep out of the thread, pursue a chat with somebody who better meets your standard, and leave others to be more helpful.

I don't understand someone's answer: when someone asks a question about something, in this case about overstay, it doesn't mean that the author is guilty of anything, in this case overstay. IMHO.

I can remember exactly one occasion on which someone avoided the automatic blacklisting for an overstay of more than 90 days. This was leaving from U-Tapao with an extremely good sob story. If leaving from Suvarnabhumi or Don Muang, your chance would be exactly zero. Even an accidental overstay when on a Thailand Elite visa resulted in a blacklisting.

 

There used to be fixers who were able to resolve long overstays in conjunction with immigration at certain land crossings. Most likely, if you can find the right people, this is still possible. However, you need to be able to pay the resulting high fees.

I remember around 40000 THB at Malaysian border.

I remember one guy in Suvarnabhumi that tell the story about a sick daughter and avoided the blacklist. At that time I overstayed for 2 days and we were togheter at the immigration counter waiting to pay the fine.

if you want to avoid the ban, talk to an agent.  they can often take care of the issue.  it does take some time so if you are flying out next week, probably need to delay the flight. and probably need to pay at least 50,000thb for the service.  in some cases, i believe getting a new passport is required but that may be for very long overstays.

still an odd 'hypothetical' question. 

just avoid it by not overstaying. 

at all. and sure not by 90+ days. 

there is hardly a justified reason anyways.
