Weeks of over stay and working illegally. I can see this is all going to end badly. I have never been in the situation but are the Labour Ministry and/or Immigration liable to actually issue a work Visa when someone already has a large overstay in there Passport even though it may of been recently cleared. Surely it must raise suspicion that they have or may have been working? Do they want to see proof of funds in order to support yourself?

I doubt the overstay will be an issue with Non B visa or work permit. However, trying to return visa exempt after the overstay would be foolhardy. Even returning with a tourist visa, there might be questions about how you can support yourself without working.

Thanks for your reply. I just wondered how it worked. I have managed to never get a single days overstay in nearly 30 years. I don't like them nasty looking stamps in my passport

In fact there should be questions about how the OP supports himself without working if he returns with a TV.

20,000 Bht in cash should be acceptable evidence and the OP would be well advised to have such a sum if he intends returning.
