If a person to be blacklisted managed to get an appeal of his case into court quick enough would there be a reprieve with regard to instant expulsion?

The thinking being that a non visa compliant overstay person could have a solicitor prepare an appeal case with a sympathetic judge in mind well before bringing his overstay status to light and securing an injunction against deportation and blacklisting pending the outcome of the appeal. Money being no object and postponements of judgements/ court dates would be the norm.

Possible? Your thoughts!

You can file an appeal and must be given an answer within 7 days or are allowed to enter. But the rules do not say where you have to await the decision. That can mean the immigration jail, abroad or being temporary allowed.

 

it is not a court case but a decision by the minister of interior or the immigration commission.

 

To be honest, I don't give you much chance in case of blacklisted in case of an overstay. There are some cases where it might be possible, such as being very sick and nobody to take care of you or the case where a person didn't understand he had to leave the country every 90 days with a one year multiple non-immigrant visa.

 

Best advise is to clear any overstay now before the rules on being denied re-entry come in effect.

If money is no object then why not simply fly out now and spend some of the money that is no object in getting a proper visa and simply coming back ?

Or am I missing something here ? 

The appeal for being deemed persona non grata under section 22 of the immigration act is submitted to immigration and a fee of 1900 baht is charged.

I can't envisage many scenarios where an overstay would be considered to be excusable.

I spent a large proportion of last year flat on my back unable to leave my bed.

However, during this period I managed to arrange a retirement extension and a couple of 90day reports.

There's always somebody who can help.

I believe you are talking about blacklisting at the immigration checkpoint on the way out of Thailand. The announcement made by immigration said that approval of the proposed rule is pending at the Ministry of Interior and this seems to indicate that if and when approved, it will be published in the Royal Gazette as a Ministerial Regulation and we have to wait and see what procedure, if any, for appeal it will include.
