Early morning airport immigration

Featured Replies

I know this is a visa question but I need to find out specifically for CNX... I completely <deleted>'d up my travel plans so I have a short overstay to pay.

I'm booked CNX through to GLA via BKK & AMS, so will I be passing through immigration at CNX and through transit at BKK? Or they treat CNX->BKK as domestic then pass through immigration in BKK?

I ask, because my flight's the 06:55 which means I'll arrive CNX maybe 5 or 5.30 - is the "overstay" office open that early?

You don't mention the airline(s). If it is all Thai Airways, you can go through immigration at either CNX or BKK, "up to you". If you are changing airlines at BKK, you may have to go through immigration at BKK.

You always have the option of flying domestic to BKK, if you have enough time at BKK before your flight to AMS. You can check your bags from CNX. No idea if overstay fine people will be at the airport at 530 am.

I flew out of CNX last September. It was a 7am flight to bkk, then I was going to PEK.

Make sure you go to the International desk to check-in, and don't let the Chinese jump que on you. Immigration opened at 6am. There were three lines open. I didn't see any signs about overstay, but it appeared to be just like Swampy, and possibly a bit more friendly.

The fine is paid about 15m from the immigration officials. Its not busy so one of them will simply ask you to follow just so you get a receipt in your passport.

If you get away with it then great but not sure why you are worries its upton them,to collect the fine if they can be bothered.

Not particularly worried, just don't need to be ending up in a situation where I'm delayed to the point of missing a flight... And yes, I think they'll bother collecting it - by my flight date it'll be 24 days so that's a cool 12k, not something they're likely to waive off...

Well it would be more inconvenient for you but a sure thing if you went into immigration the day before and paid it.

Not sure but then you would know where you stand and not have to do the last minute shuffle an hour to late.

On the other hand they might get upset that you are not leaving today. Might have to get a 7 day or what ever time period it is .
