BadaBing Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 My last exit end of January had a sign posted at immigrations showing the amount of fines for overstays. The one that I did remember was that a 1 day overstay was at " no charge " Bada Bing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianTroy Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Visa exempt or visa on arrival - that's a 14 day visa (cost 1000 baht I think) Actually I've heard about a guy who stayed in hospital getting at least 30 days extension. it seems to depend where you come from! Germans are charged 500 baht a day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 There aren't that many Swedes, so they have to charge them more to make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 We're not discussing swedes but those from countries without visa exempt.

TroyinEwa/Perv Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Not that anyone cares as this is an older thread but thought I would update it for accurate and up to date information for anyone who may experience an overstay. I finally left Thailand on July 23rd, 171 days after I entered. I checked in with the airline without incident and proceeded to passport control. The officer (female, not that it matters a whole lot) took my passport and did her thing. She looked at me and I said, "Yes, I know I had an overstay". In perfect in English and a condesending smile she says "A half a year?" I was passed on to her supervisor and led to a desk behind them. I was asked for 20k baht, given a receipt, passport was stamped and I was on my way. Other than the embarassment and nervousness, the 20k is all that was required. No cops called, no alarms sounded. Just pay the fine and on your way. I also understand, the extra 141 days does not count against the 90/180 rule, so I still just have 30 days against that policy and should be able to go back tomorrow, if I wished. Any firm info here would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 please try to go back tomorrow and tell us whether you still get a 30 days stamp! 20k is really a discount for 141 days overstay! was this at Suwannapum? any "overstay" stamp in the passport?

Ongchaiyai Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I have overstay twice (both under 10 days) over different years (same passport), they usually put a comment above the visa stamp which you arrive on (mine was visa on arrival). I also got an extention visa in between these penalty payments(when crossing the boarder), besides the comments and paying the extra money. I have never been held up or questioned coming or going. So presume that the comments are only in your passport and not on their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 20k is the maximum fine regardless of the number of days you have overstayed. Friend of mine overstayed 6 years in Sakon, made it to the airport and paid also 20k. cheers hn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
