windosill Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Good morning, My wife and kids landed at BKK on 25th July and are due to fly out after 30 days on 24th August. I've just noticed in their passports, that the immigration officer has only given them 29 days, until 23rd August. Are they looking at an overstay charge, or do you think immigration will acknowledge the mistake? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 No overstay charge for a 1 day overstay at an airport, but they will make a notation in the passport. Edit: Officer did not make a mistake, day of arrival is day 1. That is often miscalculated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 By my maths they were given 30 days. As said, no charge for one day overstay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 No misstake, 25th July counts as day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There is no overstay fine for overstay of less than 24 hours if leaving by air. Children under 15 do not pay for overstay at anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooris7 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I have been in this situation 2 times. The first time I was ushered through with no problems and the second time I was charged the 500 Baht 1 day fine. It is totally up to the mood of the officer at that time. There is no law that states any over stay of 1 day or of any kind is exempt from the fine. Un like the 90 day report which allows you to report 14 days before and 7 days after your due date.We are talking about 16 bucks here. Is it really worth the time to write about?

More worried about being blacklisted than the money. Thinking of coming back to work here next year and don't want any problems. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
