timonase Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hello All, i could not find anything in the search or on google, which was not at least 5 years old.

lopburi3 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If allowed it is normal procedure with payment of overstay at 500 baht per day. Have seen reports of it being allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 A few days is generally no problem. In case they don't allow it, one needs to leave the country and can come back the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timonase Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Thank you for your answer. I do understand the leaving the country part. I just wanted to make sure that i will not get arrested at the immigration. it has been 4 days tomorrow. What is better? Paying the fine for overstay at the immigration and trying to still get the extension or leaving the country? regards and thank you for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Immigration has the authorithy to arrest you in this case, but that is very unlikely. They have better things to do. Normal course of action would be to fine you and give an extension of stay after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid the fine and crossed back in 20 mins later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
