Kaymcdonnell Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So this guy is 91 years old and frail. He has no idea that he has overstayed but he will soon. His is a British national but will leave to another part of Europe at the end of September. Paying the overstay is no issue, and not returning is no issue. What is the worst can happen if he makes to the airport and hands himself in? Will he be arrested and put in a detention center overnight and deported to England or will he be left to go on his merry way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymcdonnell Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 He has never abused the system before. Lived here on a retirement visa and owns about 20MB of leased property. Went to another country for christmas and new year last year and on return decided to leave thailand for good. Visa is about 3 months over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stevenl Posted August 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2014 Simple overstay: go to the airport, pay the fine and either get a tourist visa to return to Thailand or go anywhere else. No arrest, no nothing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No arrest, no nothing.Yes, so long as he presents himself to airport Immigration he won't be arrested. Pay the max 20,000 baht fine.At this time ther is no black listing for return to Thailand. There are new rules being talked about for overstay 'penalties' but so far no new law has been implemented.Read this Thaivisa article ---> http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/741109-immigration-clarifies-and-confirms-overstay-crackdown/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedkellylives Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) If he is not going to return to Thailand he has nothing to worry about, even if they change the rules Just pay the overstay fine and leave no problem Edited August 9, 2014 by nedkellylives 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larsjohnsson Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Blacklisting doesn't matter when you are 91 years old and returning home. When you are that old and fragile you will never come back to Thailand. Just pay the fine. Edited August 10, 2014 by larsjohnsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personchester Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Hope I live until 91!! Yes of course, Nevertheless, one hopes to remain age wise in a reasonable healthy position, if this is not the case and one has mental and /or physical problems, then the wish is to part away.

Nemesis7 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Nothing will happen, he would be asked simply to pay fine and he is free to go, it's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to live in Europe? Family reasons? He not enjoying it here so much anymore mostly because of the heat and lack of getting around. He is British and has family and friends in Europe so more enjoyment. He will get to see his daughters more also. Many of his friends from here have also left, seems like Thailand to some people is not as enjoyable as it used to be. I am staying, not going anywhere yet, but people who i have known for a very long time are leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymcdonnell Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thank you everybody. He is a really great guy and i am very pleased for him that he is going home. He actually does not want to go to England and that was my main concern, wether they would let him leave to go anywhere he wanted to, or with all the new regulations i thought they might insist that he had to be deported to the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hope I live until 91!! Not sure I want to live that long. There comes a time when life is reduced to little more than breathing and various other less attractive bodily functions. Clinging desperately to that sort of existence seems a bit pathetic. Of course, if you remain healthy and active, that's great. May you live to 150. Only hope that your financial resources keep up with inflation.

Kaymcdonnell Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 His finances are in good order and he still has quality of life, knows what is going on around him etc. He is leaving to spend his last years closer to his family and easier climate to deal with. He still likes to go out and have a swift couple of beers and just traveled for 4 months to Australia where he also has family. Can still walk around but not very far. Can see well and hear well. Can crack so good jokes and can eat a meal bigger than more men. Always game for a laugh, but his lady chasing ways are long long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweizer Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 He could always find a friendly doctor who is willing to write a "Do Not Travel" sickness certificate valid until he leaves, at 91 and frail as you say I am sure he can pull that off with the immigration staff and possibly not even pay an overstay or be banned under those circumstances.

Greg Nixon Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 At 91 there are far more friendly infrastructures in the world. My parents are 90 and 92 and I would not want them to live here. Just getting out of a car could be very hazardous here for a 91 year old. When I am in my 80's I may leave for an environment more conducive to those who are physically and sensory challenged should I live that long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen you since we all got bladdered on the boat trip from Chalong! I hope you're well? You know the answer to this surely? It's not like he's stayed 10 years on overstay! He'll pay the fine at Phuket airport, everybody will be polite and respectful and he'll be on his way!! Take care, I hope biz is picking up?
