jaroulz Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Do anyone knows if the overstayers will be exempted of paying fine at the border because of the floods problems or was it a "nice try" ? ps : I'm in Koh Samui & unable to quit the island safely coz of the weather..

lopburi3 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Suspect good try is likely outcome of that path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaroulz Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah me too but I'd like to be sure.. Any overstayers have crossed the borders this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm in a similar position. Can I go to immigration and get an extension? I'm on a non o multiple entry visa. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 You can always try to get an extension, but their doesn't seem to be official policy regarding this (yet). On a non-Immigrant visa entry one can not get an extension, but they can give you 7 days under consideration. Normally you would need proof of trvael out of the country within those 7 days. If you are on a non-O based on having Thai wife/kid you can get a 60 day extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 No flights cancelled, so probably no mercy. http://www.samuiairportonline.com/flight-status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaroulz Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 How the h*ll can they fly with such a weather ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESB7 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Even when the airport was closed in 2008, they were still charging for overstay, so a little bit of rain is unlikely to cut any ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESB7 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Are all ferries allday cancelled?, what about flights?.surely there must be a way off to cross a border somewhere.......its not the Thai immigrations fault there is bad weather, so even a flight to Sing or HK must be possible..........or are you saying you dont want to pay anymore than the cheap 2k border run.........

jaroulz Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 or are you saying you dont want to pay anymore than the cheap 2k border run......... That's exactly what I wanted to say ! Thank God you've found the right words for me. Anyway I won't take any flight with such a weather. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm going to be able to leave before I am meant to, so can I still go to immigration and get a 60 days extension? Do I take copy of marriage/birth certs along with 2 passport photos ect? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes, and the wife and child and their ID card and household book as well. always good to call immirgation first to see what that office needs to see for a 60 day extension. It differs from office to office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I explained teh visa was based on marriage/child, but still just 7 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Suspect they misunderstood. They will provide under police order 777/2551 para 2.22 but you both will have to appear with proof of marriage and her ID documents as well as yours as this is a valid extension of stay. The 7 days is for anyone not able to meet extension of stay requirements. The reason for your 60 day extension is to visit Thai wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoBoy Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) The Op could always try local immigration and ask for a emergency 7 day extension. That would be at their discretion. They work there and know the conditions better than anyone else that could possibly help you elsewhere. Edited March 31, 2011 by TacoBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaroulz Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Well, as I've opened this one, I might close it by the following : Finally I've been exempted of paying any overstay fees as Sadao "The head office of the Thai Immigration Bureau just sent us the following message: Any person that overstay their visa period between 27th March to 1st of April will be exemt from usual penalty charges due to the extreme weather conditions. Ferry passengers from Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao with tickets between 27th March and 1st of April must keep their tickets to show to immigration departure to be exempt from overstay charges. Stay safe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
