Pdaz Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) The Thai Govt should give Frau Merkel a call.. Pretty sure she'd take in all of Thailand's overstayers.. why not ? She's already invited the rest of the so00ing World to go live in Europe Edited December 25, 2015 by Pdaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubl Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Many overstayers are from 3rd world countries which is why the fine is 20,000baht. Or perhaps many of the members on this site would prefer another 2 tier system in this country based upon skin color? The fine was set 30+ years ago. Isn't it 500 baht a day with a maximum of 20,000 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is immigrations choice to charge it in 500 baht daily increments, not law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Oh, I forgot how rich SEA was 30 years ago. Silly me. I doubt many 3rd world overstayers would have afforded 20k 30+ years ago, which would have been the equivalent of 80k+ in todays money, any more than they can afford 20k now.

Maestro Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 So why doesn`t IO charge overstayers more often for 20.000 baht ? Because immigration officers are bound by the "settlement rule or any conditions as the Settlement Commission my deem proper" issued under section 84 of the Immigration Act.

slipperylobster Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Seems fair enough. I would not want to see the first category (90 days) change more than that. The longer overstays have no excuse...so go for it. As posted before...no sense in harshly coming down on people who overstayed a few days/weeks because of unforeseen illness, accidents, travel mix ups, family issues (thai wife/kid)...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) supporting the local economy, lol. start buying visa's and paying tax far-right fascist government playing to the home-crowd with measures to punish foreigners when they could be reforming their visa requirements to make it easier for visitors to stay legally and allow them to properly support the local economies... Fits right in with their moralistic views on drinking, films about monks, and scantily clad motorshow dancers...

So that would bring me to June 2, March 5 + 90 days. Can I apply for a 7 day extension at the end of the 30 day extension? There is a flight leaving on the 8th of June.

There is no 7 day extension as such. You can apply for another extension but it will be denied/refused and the IO will, almost certainly, give you 7 days to leave the country.

elviajero Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) elviajero can I do another boarder run ? Yes, no reason why not. Visa exempt entries (VEE) are only a problem for people with back to back or many previous entries VEE's. You could do a border hop at the end of the 60 days and get a 30/15 day visa exempt entry. You'll get 30 days if you're from a G7 country. That 15/30 day stay could then be extended legitimately by 30 days.or Wait and do the border hop on June 2nd for the visa exempt entry.You should have no problem getting the extra 7 days but just be aware that it isn't what people believe it to be and is at the IO's discretion.

Lannig Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) No way!Seems to be a lot of these short nonsense posts in many threads these days. I've seen such on many forums. They're prospective spammers testing their abilities to post and making their post counter turn so that they reach whatever number is required to post links. They use this kind of short random phrases in their posts. Edited February 26, 2016 by Lannig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccarty Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I wonder how many of those old soldiers are getting fed up with petty administration of civilian issues? Is it 1 or 3? How about 2 and 5? Got to be mind numbing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammock Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Why these foreigners overstay? Probably they consider Thailand to be the happiest country in the world as Bloomberg has suggested not so long ago and don't want to go back home?
