Can I apply for a DTV in London with a passport overstay?

DTV Visa Overstay Visa Application Immigration Issues Thailand Visa

Anonymous *************

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have an overstay on my passport from last year - it should have been a day, but due to flooding and the immigration office being closed, it became 8 days. Has anyone had experience of getting a DTV specifically in London, with an overstay on their passport?

If it was a 1 off, you should be OK. You paid the fine, the Immigration police case is closed, albeit the overstay is still in their system records

Yeah as it is MFA issuing it not Immigration. MFA does not really seem to care :-) Thai Fiefdoms. I am assuming the MFA can see all the persons immigration record.

I woukd think so for most. Agents can make most issues dissappear. An older guy who drank in same bar as us in Bamgkok had a6 year overstay disappear and a new O Retirement included for the 400k fee a couple of years ago :-)

I think most of that was to clear the 6 year overstay. I think the 1 year O was a freebie lol

He had a hip replacement at Bumrungrad. How he did it on overstay was a mystery to us. They want passport and visa details. At least they have when ai hace gone and used that place for 25++ years

Hard to say. I'm applying soon and also overstayed by a few days once but I am not worried. Just have to go with the application and find out.
