elviajero Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Yes they should waive the fine for a 1 day overstay at the major airports, but you will still have an overstay stamp recorded in your passport.

speedtripler Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 fly 29 or clear immigration at 23.45 and wait in departures for the next available flight on 30th might be an option ....... i need to avoid that stamp as it may fkkk me up in the future to have 1 overstay comment in my passport already and i sure aint putting asnother one there for the sake of a few hours/baht etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbi1 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 fly 29 or clear immigration at 23.45 and wait in departures for the next available flight on 30th might be an option ....... Doesn't immigration look at your boarding pass and passport? So I don't think you'll be able to hang around 1 day inside the airport once clearing immigration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with more than one overstay have also not had problems. The stamp states it is less than 24 hours. You could apply for a 7 day extension, pay 1900 baht and be given 7 days to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoZth Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) My mate made a mistake with his return flight date by three days. He was told by his bar buddies, experts he said because they'd been here years, he would be ok at the airport, He would only have pay for one day because they wouldn't charge him for the first day. As his flight was just after 01:00 if he went through Immigration/passport control early, about 22:00 he'd not have to pay for the third day either... When he went through he was taken to the overstay office to pay his fine, 500bht his buddies told him, just for the one day. They charged him for ALL the days, It cost him 1500bht. (a saving of 400bht though over the Imm office (that I told him to go to in the first place) price of 1900bht) AND he got the overstay stamp!!!!!! I laughed at him and said Som nam naa, his answer to me, first word started with an F, and the second word ended with an F. I don't think I'm his mate any more.. So good luck mate, you might get away with not paying. Edited April 25, 2016 by LoZth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRun Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If you're that worried just take the flight on the 29th. Sorted, no overstay stamp on your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzz Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Not difficult to work out . I was told this on this forum when i went to laos when my thai visa run out on a sunday. Got stopped arrested and kept there for 5 hours with another4 farangs all who thought they would get 1 day . I was there at 7 am so am so only 7 hours overdue Fined 500 baht but no stamp . was told by the thai police that at the airport you might be there at 10pm but your flight is after midnight so you are allowed one day at the airport because of this reason and no stamp . At the border you cross straight away so no need for this 1 day grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you enter and get a 60 day entry from tourist visa or visa exempt and then extended the 30 day entry for 30 days? If you had a tourist visa you can get a 30 day extension. Visa exempt you can apply for a 7 day extension pay 1900 baht and be given 7 days to leave. You could apply a few days before day 59 for either extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they grant you an extra 7 days don't worry about it, they do it all the time and it is not an overstay if you got their permission and paid them for it... You will get stamped out, just the same as everyone else who has not overstated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Many flights leave from the airport after midnight for European and North American destinations. This brings them into their international destinations in the peak arrival daytime hours....especially when you consider the international date line and the time changes at the arrival destination. it is not unlikely that many travelers with be checking in for an international flight before midnight on one day for a flight that actually leaves after midnight early in the morning of the next day.....say 1:30 or 2:00 a.m. That is precisely why the overstay is not normally charged for that one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ks45672 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 i would go in on the day59 ,fill in the extension form requesting another 30 days,pay the fee and wait (even though youre only allowed 7 ,mistakes can happen when the office is busy ) worst case scenario,they spot the error you only get a 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I just started to worry when I read this topic!!! My Tourist 60 day visa expires on the 2nd of May, and my UK flight leaves at 2am on the 3rd of May from BKK. Check in opens at 10pm so my plan was to get checked in and through immigration before 12 midnight. Any issues with that? Hope I am worrying unnecessarily.

Thanks a lot No u will be fine, just check in at 10pm, go thru immigration an wait in departure lounge. No probs. When u board the plane they only check ur ticket an boarding pass anyway. Very rarely look at passport an certainly not looking at overstay dates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you exit passport control before midnight you don't have an overstay. If you're delayed and don't go through until after midnight you would probably get an overstay stamp but they shouldn't fine you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So good luck mate, you might get away with not paying. Huh? I thought there was no 500 baht fine for a one day overstay only.. Two days would be 1000 baht, as the 1st overstay day must be paid?
