2 is 1 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Check in normally after get in airport. Desk will ask officer in desk after find out your overstay. First question from officer going to be "do you have money". Hopefully have or journeys direction not going to be IO in airport. If have cash you go IO , pay fine and off you go. Whit few nice new stamp's in your passport! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb response, hes off to the airport to fly out.. Eh sorry officer, no passport. And if he checked your photocopy with smart car.ooops overstay.... IDC pronto...

Just saying... you can't always assume that immigration officers will stick to the rules... I think that was a story a couple of Months ago and it occurred in Phuket. The most common response from posters on this forum was that there must have been more to the story because people just don't get arrested and thrown in IDC when they have the fine and have checked in for a an international flight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming to not have pp on him would avoid the issue. Ignore him... he's a waste of space just continuing to troll after he was called out for trolling the op in his first irrelevant response. As you correctly pointed out Jack... most people do not carry their passport around with them anyway, so IF on the very rare occasion someone does ask for ID the Ops friend can show a photo copy of the ID page. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoguy21 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Let me guess, he forgot when he was due to leave so the overstay was accidental. Would that be right? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayinThailand2much Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Three hours is the recommended time for the (usual) airport routine, so I'd figure an extra hour, or, better two would make sense.

Stick to addressing the OP question When was the last time you were pulled up and required to produce pp. In 10 years zero for me.

Extra time would be minimal Obviously the friend would be well advised to get to airport early. I would suggest your thread is asking silly question. I had an international flight out of Thailand this Wednesday. Arrived airport 4 hours prior. Could not see lot of difference between waiting in my condo or a beer and chit chat at airport.

I do have a photocopy of my ID page on cell and that would suffice. The OP is trying to get to airport that's it. Claiming to not have pp on him would avoid the issue. I personally think it is a bad idea. Any police officer can ask to see your passport and, if you do not have it on you, insist that you promptly get it and show it. If you had immediately just produced your passport, opened to the data page, it is extremely unlikely that they would go through all the stamps to see if you are on overstay. You can bet they will if they went to the effort of forcing you to produce it. Yes, most often, when stopped a copy of your passport will be accepted. Rarely will you be asked where your passport is, and asked to produce it. However, an intelligent police officer is going to figure out that something fishy is going on if he starts questioning. It is a good idea, by the way, to avoid a long distance bus or train journey by using a domestic flight. The airline staff at check in (even if you cannot check in online) have no interest in your immigration status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming to not have pp on him would avoid the issue. the first think the officer would look for is if you are on overstay. you need photo's of the whole passport including stamps on your phone. including prior stamps, everything. that way you are not pulled into the station for any reason. if you get detained it opens the door for other things going wrong so is best avoided. no big deal. it takes a couple minutes. i even have pictures of the 90 day reports and tm30.

I'm sure my friend will be ok Paranoia central you lot. <deleted> me I've been in jail for 3 months here and I didnt get deported... If you live in a remote village with a population of 50 people, chances are low to get checked by the Police. In Bangkok it could be a different ball game.
