philcon Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hi, Another dumb question, it looks like I have booked my flights incorrectly. I will be over staying my visa for one day only (1) Do I just go to airport and pay 500BHT ? Is this a big deal do I go onto a register? many thanks for response Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The first day of overstay you do not pay anything at the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 As said at the airports in Bangkok you do not pay the fine if your overstay is less than 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 You may have questions at check-in from your airline, KLM for instance know that a visa is required for stays over 30 days and want to see one in your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Have you done your maths correctly? The day of entry is day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP will be returning home! Why would KLM or any other airline be interested in anything other than the OP having a valid passport for the journey? Overstay is not a concern for airlines.

Pattaya46 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The OP will be returning home! "The Fat Controller" was not talking about his return flight, but his departure (from his country ?) Some Airlines want to see a visa for any travel more than 30 days, and 31 is more than 30... The return should not be a problem, but as always avoid any police control or any accident on your last day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all the airline would be interested in would be whether his passport was valid for his intended destination. Airlines are not interested in anything to do with overstay in Thailand ............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the O/P in his home country anticipating a problem with a planned trip or is he already in Thailand when he realized his flight out is the day after his current permission to stay expires? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure also, but none the less as "Lite Beer" and "UbonJoe" already stated "The first day of overstay you do not pay anything at the airport." and that was the main question the OP asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O/P mentions a visa. If he has an actual visa, the airlines won't care. They only worry if someone is travelling without a visa and might be refused entry. Even if he anticipates getting a visa exempt entry, he has a flight out booked already, so the airlines won't care if he overstays as long as they won't get stuck flying him out for free.

And if he is still at home and has an actual visa, is he looking at the expiry date on the visa or has he calculated when the permission to stay will end.

Many people calls a visa exempt entry a "visa" or even "tourist visa". If that is the case then the OP should worry indeed boarding, because the airline can legitimately refuse boarding without an exit ticket within 30 days and not one more.

philcon Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) I really appreciate the comments, actually I was on calculation going to be two days over. So I decided to back date my flight with Qantas paid the extra two bucks. No visa over stay issue, No queue at the Promenade at Chaing Mai. I am seriously considering retiring to Chain Mai so I just don't want any hassles. I will be monitoring the forums for retirement so I get it right next time.

You could have bought a throw away exit ticket for $40 or even $0 when refundable. 30 days extension is about $30 And overstay does not influence future applications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
