im not goin to do this so dont worry

but what would happen if i stayed and extra 30 days after my 60 are up in bkk and then flew home!

would i get banned from thailand for ever

You will pay Bhat 500 per day for overstay up to a maximum of Bhat 20,000. Cash only, they will welcome you to come back anytime you like. Seriously.

1. If you are on a 60 day tourist visa entry that can be extended for 30 days with payment of 1,900 baht at any immigration office.

2. If you overstay 30 days a fine of 30x500 = 15,000 baht would have to be paid prior to exit and you would risk jail during that period.

3. Under current policy there is no ban involved.

im only here on a visa waver for 30 days but want to stay for another 90days? is the only way to travel outside of thailand to apply for a tourist visa? how much are tourist visa?

It is not the matter of 500baht a day fine for overstaying in the kingdom. If you get so unfortunate to get caught for passport check than the consequences can be horrible, you may never been stopped anywhere for passport check before but we are never sure what happens next so my friendly advice to you is not to overstay and if possible either get an extension at immigration for 1900 baht or just do a visa run.

You need to visit a Thai Consulate and apply for a Tourist Visa.

This will give 60 days and can be extended at Immigration for a further 30 days.

Visas are free at the moment. The extension is 1,900 Baht.

Vientienne Laos will issue a double entry also free of charge.

Yes, you will need to leave the country. Go to Vientiane, Laos and get a double entry tourist visa for free. (You will need to pay for the visa for Laos)

To the OP: But you must be thinking about it costs/penalty-wise since you had a specific overstay time period in mind (i.e., 30 days) versus a "Whoops, I overstayed by a few days." Good luck (and be careful) in your cost-benefit analysis.

The op started the thread with, what happens if i do something illegal, not what would be the correct way of doing this - 'scenario'.

Why do people look to come to Thailand or for that matter any other country, without the correct visa in the first instance, and then whilst in that country have to duck and dive to try and stay legal.

In my option it is all the people doing the ducking and diving that cause all the rule changes, making it harder for the people that are trying to do it the correct way.

rant over

@thaibound2

Having said that, do things the correct way and get the applicable visa in your home country, if you are staying 60 to 90 days get a double entry tourist visa, or a single entry non immigrant 'o' visa, or if longer than 90 days, plan on a tourist visa border run, with a view to extending your original visa, if in the UK or Australia there would be the option of a multi entry non immigrant 'o' visa.

where do i buy ticket to laos in bangkok

Most people would fly to Udon as that is less than 45 minutes from border and take van/bus from there as cheaper than flights to Laos. You can also take daily train or bus service (Morchitt II (North) bus station).

You can obtain visa from Laos Embassy in Bangkok or at border (takes only a few minutes). There is no visa exempt entry so you must have photos and pay about $30 (it varies by passport).

You apply for visa in morning and pick up next workday afternoon.

Thanks for your thanks. Have a good trip and remember you cannot bring Laotian women into your hotel. It is against the law.
