rosswalkington Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I have a tourist visa extension at present and my flight out of Thailand is a couple of days after the extension expires. I am going to get a new tourist visa and I need to know if I will have any problems getting a tourist visa if I overstay my current visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonrakers Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 You'll have no problems getting a new visa, just pay your fine (500 baht/day) at the airport and you'll be OK. If you get caught on overstay beforehand though then you will be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 It is 500 Baht a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiphoon Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The overstay fine to 500 baht a day, max 20,000 baht. A small 'overstay' stamp will be put in your passport, but does not prevent re-entry or obtaining another visa. As said, your biggest problem is if you get caught up in an innocent police check before you get to the airport. Being on overstay will lead to detention, hauled up before a judge and then deported. I would suggest you give consideration to altering your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mffun Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) go to the immigration office and extend your visa again for 1.900... show your ticket (= reason) sure you will get few more days! Edited February 13, 2010 by mffun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Only one extension can be made on a tourist visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiphoon Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Yup, the Op cannot get a further extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Huh? You can not get 2 extensions on a double entry tourist visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yup, the Op cannot get a further extension. Just want to confirm: Assume the OP got a 30 days extension on a 60 day tourist visa, would it really be impossible for him to get the maximum 7 days extension when showing the flight ticket?

lopburi3 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yes he could get a 7 day under review stamp for 1,900 baht if officer will issue; but most/many people who ask are told to just pay the overstay when only a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Huh? You can not get 2 extensions on a double entry tourist visa? One extension per entry with a border run between. Can not get extensions back to back on this visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
