Popular Post mallet36 Posted March 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi Guys I thought I would post a report on clearing overstay. After I was refused a flight to Laos on Wednesday. I took the night bus to NongKhai, our bus got stopped by the police just outside of NongKhai, and they wanted to look at everyone's passport so I handed mine over thinking it was game over, but the young police officer looked through my passport handed it back and said thank you. So off to the border it look about an hour to queue and pay the fine. ( I was told that I had overstayed by 1244 days ) which I thought was a lot less, but no problems paid the 20,000 Baht signed some forms had a photo taken and the senior officer was laughing and joking with me about my big overstay. So off i went to the Thai embassy and got a Non O visa and am now at home. Word of warning to anyone with an overstay over 90 days GET IT SORTED NOW. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiduncankk Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Have you made a note in your diary, on the date when you have to do your 90 day border run ? Edited March 5, 2016 by thaiduncankk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 No normal visa entry would be more than 90 days so not sure how you came up with 120 days permitted to stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think I was lucky because i have 4 children with my Thai girlfriend and that seemed to help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pib Posted March 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2016 ...our bus got stopped by the police just outside of NongKhai, and they wanted to look at everyone's passport so I handed mine over thinking it was game over... I expect the OP's heart rate was approaching 200 at this point in time. If the police officer has been aware enough to spot the overstay then it truly would have probably been game over...and instead of a happy story ending it would have probably been a sad story ending. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksam Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Good you got it sorted. You have used your "get out of jail card" ...hope others clear up their mess. You must of almost needed to change underware after the police checked your passport. Maybe you were lucky. Personally I would fly out from bkk. No margin for error choosing place I didn't need a visa. Perhaps Penang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jacksam Posted March 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2016 phew my cousins got 7yr overstay he will to KL on monday. hopefully they will let him back the same day on visa exempt. They may but in my opinion they should not. After 7 yr overstay wants to reenter on visa exempt. At very least the airline should insist on flight out of Los. Most members support people trying to clear overstay. Your post has that pompous feel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most members support people trying to clear overstay. Your post has that pompous feel. Depends on the I/O when he arrives at the airport. No one can predict it, but there is no real law why they should refuse him entry - in the end it's entirely up to the I/O if he lets him enter or not. I would advise to get a proper visa in KL.

An IO could, in the case of someone with a very recent big overstay seeking a visa exempt entry, determine that the person was an "undesirable" who would likely seek illegal work and theretofore have grounds for denying entry. Such a refusal could be appealed but the person would be detained pending the outcome of the appeal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a refusal could be appealed but the person would be detained pending the outcome of the appeal. And pigs could fly. If you have an outward ticket and proof of funds / hotel bookings ready to show though, you'll most likely be granted entry. This poster in fact only had to show the outward ticket and was given a visa exempt entry right after 2 years overstay - http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/898546-came-back-on-visa-exemption-after-overstay/ This poster also came back in on visa exemption after 11 years overstay - http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/751762-cleared-11-year-overstay/ Edited March 5, 2016 by jspill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible to convert a visa exempt entry that has been extended to a non immigrant visa entry prior to the last 15 days of the extension at Bangkok immigration. A work permit application approval letter and a stack of paperwork from his employer would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 WOW - Very very very lucky indeed... The difference being a Police Officer who merely glanced at your passport vs one who checked for Visa status.... Its the difference between a stay in IDC and deportation and the 'received' ended the Op realised... whew !!!... lucky man... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
