Soph Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 sorry Funky Girl, kinda hijacked your thread there for a wee while. Sorry though, I cant help you - have you tried your nearest immigration office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereklev Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Is she really a sweety ? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Thats what I've been told Well maybe she should get off her "sweety" butt and do her border run on time...... She shows such a callous disregard for authority for one so young......

dr_Pat_Pong Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 At 200 baht a day fine, and a bad mark in the passport,( plus a B I G risk factor, I wonder whether the overstay is really worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soph Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Im sorry, but if you have made it all the way to Thailand, and now worry about the trip to Cambodia, maybe you should have done a little more forward planning in case of these kind of situations. I know when I was a wee young backpacker, I was super duper aware of all these things, and scared shi@less of something going even a little bit wrong. Go to immigration, or do a quick and easy border crossing, no doubt with a group of farrangs on the same trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im talking about going by myself, cab driver and thats it. I was supposed to go with my uncle but at the last minute the plans changed, so thats why I overstayed.

COBBER Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 If your refering to Poipet , its not the nicest place in the world but you should have no problems. You are only going 500 metres or so into Cambodia. Just a lot of beggars and touts. If you keep your wits about you , youll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COBBER Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Funkygirl, if your in overstay as of today, i dont think its now possible to get a 10 day extension. Perhaps some other posters could elaborate on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mijan24 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 not even close. backpacks are for suckers. I'm more of a '4 star or better' traveller. Get off you're large Canadian arse and get to the border. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm only 17, I'm not fat yet. And the reason i'm going so late is because its either pend 3000Baht on a private car and go alone, or spend 1000B and go with two friends who've been to Cambodia before. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So not being a sucker take some good advice ( insert Neeranam) and head for the renewal NOW or change the opinion of yourself and rebook your accomodation - just buy a backpack and you will fit right in.

mijan24 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) I just did ask the TV audience <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't worry your pretty little head over these dirty men <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Careful using head and men in the same sentence this young & pretty Canadian may get the wrong turn on things to come!! Visa runs are advertised daily in the English Newspaper cost from memory 2000 baht - your 10 day @ 1900 + the 2000 on 21st is not good money management. Another thing to think about once you are on overstay you place yourself @ the whim of all sorts peoples - those that will offer to help etc even @ the border - young lady you asked for advice the majority seem to tell you to do the right thimg if you didn't want the advice then you shouldn't have asked.

zzap Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Can anyone tell me how to get a 10 day extension on my visa? Preferably without having to go into BKK. thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Apply at any immigration office in Thailand. You'll get 10 days from the day your visa has expired, and you will also have to pay the fine for the time you overstayed already. It seems kinda 'not fair' when your in this situation, but the 'fault' is clearly on your side for overstaying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindsayBKK Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi, I'm 17 and Canadian, in Thailand on a tourist visa. I'm supposed to be renewing my passport today (Nov 14), but for several reasons i can't get to Cambodia until next monday, the 21st. I know I'll have to pay a fine, but will there be any other problems I should know about?Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some people have more money than sence @ 200bht per day overstay is an expensive lesson. But @ 17 probably spending Mummy or Daddy's money anyway. They mark overstays in passports also. Don't forget to keep the receipt to show Mum & Dad honey.

I'm also the same age as funkygirl and I earn and spend my own money, I don't think the way you assumed that she'd be spending her Mum and Dad's money just because of her age is very thoughtful of you. Next time I expect better from someone a little older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
