ILOVETHETHAILAND Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I hope I don’t sound megalomaniac. Got an extension from an agent only to find out it was a fake one.Still regretting it…so easy to get an entry from another country…Already on overstay I will go to the police/immigration/other department.What are my options here? I was advised to do otherwise. Accept the consequences is the right thing to do, not?No convictions, my record’s white like the snow. I am not a bar guy too, not my style. Please no PM or moral lectures. What’s done is done and now I am ready to pay for it.You’re welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stoneyboy Posted December 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) How did you know it was fake ? Can you please divulge more information. Extension based on what ? What procedure did you/agent undertake ? Which immigration office ? Period of Extension ? How are you on overstay if you got an extension. I'm afraid obfuscation and lack of details from new members always raises my suspicions of trolling.

ubonjoe Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 How do you know it is fake? Or have you learned that you were not eligible for the extension it shows? How long of an overstay are do you have now? With and without the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singerman Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Apart from the question of "overstay" which will only attract a maximum fine of 20,000 Bht there is the issue of the fake (how do you know?) stamp. Having a forged(fake) stamp in a passport opens the possibility of criminal proceedings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Short of getting a new passport and paying the overstay. Your only other choice is getting nabbed with a fake stamp and maybe going to jail and then deported or just deported. ........The question being asked about how you know it is a fake stamp is important to know. Mostly the rip is having your passport go on a visa run without you. If thats the case then Yeah, you could be in trouble. If you paid an agent to handle your immigration business and your questionable stamp is from your local Immigration office. Then not so much worry as you were swindled.

JLCrab Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 In reference to above: HOW TO REPLACE A LOST/STOLEN ADULT PASSPORT (AGES 16+)The loss of a valid U.S. passport is a serious matter. After making every attempt to recover the missing passport, please obtain a police report from the Thai Police station closest to where the event took place or from any Tourist Police station (Tourist Police Hotline: 1155).

elviajero Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Suggest you head to the nearest border, pay the overstay, and exit.

JLCrab Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 If you actually lost it, you can claim that on the police report -- the problem is that some people 'lose' their passport for reasons other than losing their passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renrut Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Now where did I put that passport? totally forgot, must have left it somewhere... Ah well time for a new one. How would that help him? He's going to need an entry stamp in the new passport before he will be given an exit stamp when he leaves. Do you think Immigration and the passport offices aren't aware of the reasons that passports are sometimes "lost" and that they make no checks? Get real.

I don't think that is possible, with a fake stamp in his passport, without getting arrested. Fake stamp or not his legitimate permit to stay has expired and he's on overstay. Whether he surrenders at an immigration or at the border he stands the chance of arrest. I'd rather take my chances at the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the best bet to me. The trouble is, if he has a fake stamp, he won't have been recorded as having an extension at the time of the fake stamp. In other words, he will have a much longer overstay violation, not the same one. Just something to bear in mind although getting a new passport still seems to be the best solution.

That's right, Immigration officers ready to check his passport where his fake stamp (if it is fake) will be obviously be noticed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is NOT a crime to lose you Passport, however what is a crime is somebody else using a lost or stolen Passport So to prevent this happening a lost Passport must be recorded on the database, the way do this is to make a Police report, they will then put it on the database It really is not that difficult to work out, although it does seem so for some on here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
