Alysha815 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have overstayed by about 1 year. I am planning on going to the immigration office next week with my plane ticket in hand and my 20,000 baht. I plan to come back legally and I want to know the best way to do this. A couple questions: 1. Should I bring a lawyer? If so, does anyone know of an immigration lawyer in Trang? 2. What should I do once I get back to my country to be allowed back into Thailand legally, with some sort of 'long' visa (6+ months)? I am a teacher (illegally) 3. Is there any reason why I would not be allowed back into Thailand? Thanks so much, hoping to get this all sorted out by the middle of November Alysha815 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Skip going to immigration. Just go to airport with 20K baht in hand and pay it there when you leave. Just allow for the extra time needed to pay the fine. No problem to re-enter the country. You should get a least at single entry tourist visa before you return. You can get 2 entry visas in Laos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Agree, don't go to immigration go directly to the airport, early, with 20000 baht. Shouldn't be a problem getting another visa. Going to immigration would complicate things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Never pass an opportunity to skip the local immigration office!!! Like everyone said, go to the airport with the 20,000 and give yourself a couple of hours to make the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsalt Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I paid an overstay at the airport only a few weeks back and it only added around 10 minutes to the immigration procedure - I spent longer waiting in the immigration queue. The airline check in lady noticed it on my passport and actually gave me a special card to give to immigration saying I needed assistance for an overstay.
