ubonjoe Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 A police report is the first thing that should of been done. He has been on a overstay since his visa/extension of stay ran out. There will be a 20,000 baht fine for that. Does he have a copy of his visa, extension and entry/permit to stay stamps that were in his old passport. And his TM6 departure card. Having those will smooth things out a little. However it is done it will require him to leave the country and get a new visa. Normally I would say to just buy a ticket and leave the country paying the fine at immigration on departure. But with the length of time and a new passport it probably means a trip to immigration to sort all this out. Also he should have a lawyer with him when he goes. He is going to still need the 20,000 baht no matter what is done plus a ticket out of the country before going to immigration. If he has the dcomumentation with him when he leaves he should be able to get a new ED visa at a nearby consulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 If the school can handle things he may be okay as far as getting anotehr extension but he will still need to pay the fines. But I suspect in his case he will have to leave and get a new visa. He was in the country without his passport for well over a year and no police report saying it was lost. That is a violation of Thai law on top the overstay. If goes to immigration on his own they could very well but him in detention until he leaves.

If goes to immigration on his own they could very well but him in detention until he leaves. he did the police report after he realize he can't find his passport anymore. so all this time he has thie police report with him. i think the justification for the overstay is all this time he was waiting for his passport, without a passport he can't get a new visa nor extend the old one though it's true that if he was better organized before, it won't end up this urgent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 What process did go through to get the new passport, The consulate should of been the starting point and they would of given him some kind of documentation that he could of taken to immigration then and prevented the overstay. If he has some documentation from the consulate and the police report immigration will probably be more helpfull but there is no way now that he will be able to avoid the fine. The rest will depend upon documentation from the school whether he gets an extension of stay or not (it won't be a visa). If he gets the extesnion then he will need a re-entry permit when he leaves. If they refuse to give a long term extension they may give him a 7 day extension so he can leave the country. Then he could make a border run and get 15 days on entry. And then when he goes to Australia get a new visa while he is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The Embassy in KL is accredited in Thailand for Zimbabwe but it appears they were not informed and a new passport was somehow issued in Zimbabwe and hand carried by someone. Real or not I have no idea but it sure seems highly suspect.
