henrik2000 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hello, what happens when I overstay one or two days on a tourist visa? I have 2 months TR tourist visa + 1 month extension in country to a total of 3 months tourist time. It might be most convenient for me to stay one or two days longer than allowed. Will there be a fine, a racket, is it done more often by tourists? I'll leave via Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport. A visa run or any other exit point is no option. Thanks!

Thanks! 2 days overstay will be a 1000 baht fine and overstay stamp in passport, not a big deal. Only problem could arise if you later consider elite visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pattaya57 Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Yeah stay as long as you like, why bother following immigration rules? Note: you have 90 days which includes arrival and departure days. You do have 3 months 2 2 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJack54 Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 OP, you can exit Thailand paying fine and receive overstay stamp. You could go to immigration and apply for an extension (1900b) which will be rejected and you will be given 7 days to exit Thailand (it's not an extension) Most would opt to just pay a fine however the PE visa company can be touchy about overstays. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woof999 Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Not the end of the world, but it's never a good idea to plan to have an overstay stamp in your passport. It gives any additional country another reason to deny you a visa, not just Thailand. Takes up more of those precious empty pages in the passport too. May or may not matter to you. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) As long as you are not caught before hand you will get a fine of 500 Baht a day and a stamp in your passport. If your overstay is only one day there will be no fine. Edited January 10 by Lite Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants to mention that? I'll mention it. Caught with 1 day overstay = 5 year ban from returning to Thailand When caught while overstaying Overstay of 1 day to 1 Year = 5 years ban from Thailand and 500 to 20,000 Thai baht overstay fine Overstay more than 1 Year = 10 years ban from Thailand and 20,000 Thai baht overstay fine 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this vision of lights flashing and alarms going off back at Immigration HQ if a hotel entered an overstay passport number into the TM30 system. Seems like it could be a nice little earner for them and the BMW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i know the price for overstaying including the stamp in the passport. But how long is the ban resulting from 1 - 2 days of overstay? Is it really 5 years? I would quite like to come back within ten months. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would quite like to come back within ten months. There is ZERO ban for 2 day overstay. The post you quoted was referring to being nabbed in Thailand on overstay. Obviously you lay low on your two day overstay and make direct trip to airport on day of departure. Minimal risk.. In my earlier post, I pointed out option of applying for extension to be given 7 days to "get out of Thailand" No overstay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrik2000 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Hi all, thanks for more good clarification and pictures to boot! 15 hours ago, DrJack54 said: In my earlier post, I pointed out option of applying for extension to be given 7 days to "get out of Thailand" Yes it's a very interesting and less discussed way to get up to 7 days on top. But in the last 10 days of my stay I will be in the Pattaya area and for the life of me I don't want to deal with the immigration and the queues there (I had seen them on a different trip and walked right back out; even if other board members go there regularly). I just got my 30 days visa extension from Mae Sot (Tak) immigration which was a peaceful, uncrowded place (Myanmaris go to a different part of the building), and a little later I will be in Khamphaeng Phet, but I reckon I can't get my 7 days allowance to leave right now, a month before actually wanting to leave.
