Anonymous *************
ORIGINAL POSTERI 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?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses an individual's experience with an 8-day passport overstay due to unforeseen circumstances and inquires about applying for a DTV (Digital Tourist Visa) in London. The comments suggest varied opinions, indicating that an overstay may not significantly hinder the application process, especially if it was a one-time situation and fines have been paid.

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

One guy must have been over a year as he had 3 year ban. He got a DTV.Andi ***********

Once the ban is complete you are all good for the DTV seems like.Greg ********

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.Andi ***********
@Greg *******
overstayers can also get other visas like retirement, LTR ?Greg ********

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 :-)Andi ***********
@Greg *******
400k? should have got Elite Visa, it was around 600k then..Greg ********
@Andi **********
I think most of that was to clear the 6 year overstay. I think the 1 year O was a freebie lolAndi ***********

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++ yearsAndi ***********
@Greg *******

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.
