Thanks very much and waiting to hear from you guys.

I hope your preparations include the 20,000 baht fine for the overstay. You will probably be able to leave the country at the airport. paying the fine on the way out.

You will not get non-b visa from any nearby embassy or consulate without a work permit application being done.first unless you are going to be teaching.

You will first need to get tourist visa to apply for the work permit.

Probably, but with that record, you may be refused re entry later.

Er you do know they intend to start banning over stayers like your good self for significant amounts of time come the end of this month 5 to 10 year bans

Edited July 11, 201411 yr by Soutpeel

According to new laws coming in before the end of the month more than 90 day over stay 1 year ban more tan a year 3 year ban, so probably but may not be back for a year or more.

After Thaivisa.com broke the story on Monday that individuals who overtay for more than 90 days will be blacklisted, Lt Gen Thatchai Pitaneelaboot, commander of Immigration Bureau’s Region 6 division, has confirmed the proposal to start blacklisting some overstayers has been submitted to the Ministry of Interior for approval.

The Phuket Gazette goes on to report that Lt Gen Thatchai confirmed the time has come for foreigners who continue to ignore and show disregard for the rules and regulations in order to stay in Thailand legally.

“It is time to stop. If you live in a country, you respect its rules.”

Gen Thatchai also warned that foreigners caught on overstay can expect no right of appeal to be granted.

Yes you can pay at DM and you should do it as soon as possib;le, before new regulation is approved that will officially ban overstayers.

9 or 10 hate postings in 1 hours is kind of a record, why you guys don't show up at the airport too, offer 300 Bt to Immigration to let you insult people that overstayed. That should probably make you feel good.

You should probably exit now and take care of the overstay.

Longer you wait more chance that the new blacklist enforcement comes to play.

A lot of sad people on here seem to get vicarious pleasure from other peoples problems and the schoolboy " I told you so " attitude is pretty sickening.

Very sad and ugly people.

Most of those are now gone in case anybody is wondering what he is writing about.

I think the best advice is leave the country ASAP. New regulations are coming in soon and in Your case under the new regulations you will be banned for 5 years I think.

Get your status sorted fast.

Also you say you are from Ghana. Are u allowed to get a non immigrant visa from there ?

What we should do is answer the question by the OP. Personal attacks and sometimes downright rudeness are not needed. The rules are there to be followed but on occasion things go wrong and people need help not sarcastic comments.

I agree with you. If one has overstayed beyond 90 days then it's your problem. I am trying to help out a kid who is at the moment less than 30 days over. He has been screwed over so many times by unscrupulous Thais and now he is not only on an overstay but lacking in cash. His gf family have given him 25k and I will pay for his flight.

All I wanted was some advice and sarcastic comments from the bar stool brigade were not required. I do believe I have what I need no, thank you to all those that have great advice.
