Overstayed My 1 Month Extension By A Day

[tommytouch]

I'm on a tourist visa and tomorrow, when I go to the border, will have overstayed my 1 month extension by 1 day. Will I simply be charged the B500 and be granted another stay of 60 days or just be given 15 days stay as I've overstayed?

Any knowledge much appreciated.

Fine of 500 baht and you can return on your next entry. You will get a stamp about your overstay in your passport, but that has no consequences.

That's good news, although I could do without another stamp taking up prime real estate in my passport. My fault I guess.

You would need to be holding a tourist visa an unused and valid entry to obtain a further 60 day permission to stay on re-entry; otherwise will be 15 days at land border crossing.

I have a double entry and this will be my second entry.

Wasn't 1 day allowed at the airport?

Should be no problem then.

One day's overstay is not charged by immigration if leaving by air, but is charged at land border crossings.

What happens if he's stopped en route to the border?

He can be arrested and held till he pays the fine and has a ticket out of the country. That is not very likely, they will probably just let him go to the border.
