One Day Overstay

[Monokuro]

Not a question, but I've seen so many people ask about this on the forum so I thought I'd just tag in with my experience.

Short story is, booked my flight to give me the maximum amount of time in Thailand, then someone asked me out to dinner on the day I was supposed to leave. Completely forgot about the limit so changed the plane to the next day, lol.

At Swampy : Queued as normal, when got to the front, sent to a little desk behind all the immigration booths (just before the hand luggage scanning place) - guy just looked at passport, stamped me out then put in the little overstay stamp too. Took literally 20 seconds. No fine.

In Taipei: Went to the embassy as usual to apply for a 60-day tourist visa (this was 1 week later) - got it back same day no problems.

HTH.

You applied in Taipei for a tourist visa and got your passport back the same day you submitted your application?

Yup - same as normal - no extra questions or anything.

Give it in before 11:45, get it back at 16:00
