Overstay Penalty

[Smokemachine]

I heard overstaying is 500bht/per day . Is it still the same now?what is the procedure?if today is my flight,I check in and found out I have overstay 2days. Does they just fine me and let me go onboard with my prepaid air ticket?or will they hold me for few days and I need to book for new air ticket? Pls advise me,thanks

2 days is no issue, provided you don't get picked up by the police before you get to the airport, herein lies a potential world of hurt.

Otherwise, check-in, go to the normal outgoing immigration counter who will spot your overstay, pay 1000Baht at the desk behind the counters and receive an 'overstay' stamp in your passport. Get a mild ticking off by the officer and be on your way.

go to the normal outgoing immigration counter who will spot your overstay

Or if you're lucky, as happened to me a few years ago, they might not spot it and you may get away without the 1,000 Baht fine...

Ok thanks! I have booked air ticket on 25 apr but my last day is stamped 19 apr in pp. I'm Singaporean. Will they extend 7more days for me?my brother used to granted only 3days.

Immigration will give 7 days at a cost of 1,900 baht.

Remember to take the air ticket to show them.
