sara23 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hi all, I'm leaving Thailand to go back to Australia over Christmas for a few weeks where I plan on applying for a new 1 year ED visa. I currently have a departure date stamp of 13th of Nov in my passport and my current visa has expired in October. I have my flight home booked for the 27th of Nov. I figure I can just pay the overstay fee of 500 a day when departing but i wanted to know if this 15 or so day over stay would affect me getting a new visa? i.e would I Or alternatively would i be best doing a quick visa run, re enter with the automatic 30 day entry till my flight home. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualbiker Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Why not just go to immigration and get a 30 day extension (I think it's 30, used to be 7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 It does not prevent you from getting a new visa, but staying legal is the best way. I would advise making a border run giving you another 15 days by land or 15 by air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted November 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2014 At 500 baht per day overstay fine a border run would cost less than the 7000 baht fine for your overstay. Plus you would not have the risk of being caught with overstay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Only those from the G7 countries get 30 days. All others get 15 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcliffe Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 So it is possible to do a border run and get 30 days, without a visa? I am from a G7 country. I thought the rules changed and they stopped all the land crossings without a visa. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
