3 day overstay - flying to another country (not home country) IS IT POSSIBLE ?

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am currently overstaying for 2 days. I'm scared to go to immigration because last time I went there I ended up in IDC (prison) and had to go back to my home country...

Now what I want to do is flying to a neighbouring country (Malaysia) and just pay the 500thb/day fine and get a new tourist visa in Malaysia.

My question : Will they tell me that I have to go back to my home country when I pay the fine ? Or is it ok to just fly out to any destination ? Or maybe I have no reason to be scared to go to immigration because its just 2-3 days overstay ?

Thank you very much for your answers.

I am sorry if someone already post a similar topic. I haven't found the answer to my question when I was browsing the forum.

Thanks for the fast answer ! But its a bit short and Im stressed about my situation. Can you be more precise ?

1) Do I have to go to my home country ?

2) Any destination is ok ?

Sorry to bother

You do not have to fly out to your home country you can go anywhere you want to.

Just pay the fine at the airport on departure from the country.

You only have to fly to your home country when you are arrested and appear before a judge and deported.

When you yourself go to immirgation nd pay the fine you can just simply choose your own destination.

Ok so now everything is set. I forgot to mention that I overstayed a Tourist Visa.

I went to the immigration to get the 30 days visa extension for 1,900THB, no questions asked whatsoever. I didn't even pay the fine for the overstay.

Last year I went to the immigration office for a 1,5 months overstay and got arrested at the immigration office. They didn't ask me to pay the fine.

Why did you previously go to immigration while you were on overstay ? That's asking to get arrested, I've heard about people getting arrested for this before and just couldn't figure out what they were doing here.

Once you're on overstay you have to leave and avoid getting arrested.
