ORIGINAL POSTERIs it possible to extend 30 day tourist visa after two day over stay?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible to extend your 30-day tourist visa after a two-day overstay. You will need to pay a fine of 1000 THB for the overstay and an additional 1900 THB for the extension. However, the extension will only grant you an additional 28 days, since two days will be deducted from the total. If the overstay occurred due to immigration office closure for weekends or holidays, it may be treated more leniently.

So did you get your Extension?

There is no visa to extend, as it expired on the date stamped in your passport. You may have other options. What happens depends on the individual officer and his superior.

You cannot extend a few times, a 30 day Tourism Extension which is available for Tourist Visa and Visa Exempt entries is only available once per entryReply to

if there wasn't a weekend or a holiday, you application will be denied, you will have to pay the overstay fine (500 THB per day overstay) and pay 1900.- THB. You will be given a stamp that says "application denied, you have 7 days to leave the kingdom"Mairtín **************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Nongnuch *******
it did happen over weekend, but still had to pay the two days 1000 baht and leave the country within the 30 days.Brandon ************
@Nongnuch *******
they don't deny the application until you would receive less than 10 days from the backdated extensionNongnuch ********
@Brandon ***********
you mean they can still get a 10 days extension, deducted from the 30 days, when they show up at the Immigration office with less than 20 days overstay? 😮 😲 😮Brandon ************

if Immigration was closed for the weekend or a holiday, they will accept a short overstay. You will need to apply for the 30 days touristic extension, pay 1000.- THB fine for two days overstay and 1900.- THB for the extension. Two days will be deducted from the 30 daysMairtín **************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Nongnuch *******
yep thats what happened, however the stamp now has a not saying i have to leave the kingdom at the end of this stretch of 30 days, where as in the past Ive extended it a few times no bother.Reply to

ORIGINAL POSTER@Ulrik ************
visa on arrival. Your right. Was 29 days, hence my mistake, though it was 30Jan ******************
@Mairtín *************
Visa on arrival is normally 15 days. I guess you’re on a 30 days visa exemption. Makes no difference.Ilse **********
@Jan *****************
when you come in to the country most of us get30days some country get 15 days ,Jan ******************
@Ilse *********
Yes, but thats a visa exemption, not a visa. Visa on arrival is normally 15 days.David ***********
@Jan *****************
can you explain practically what difference that makss to his question ?Graham ******
@David **********
The difference is that a Visa on Arrival cannot be extended, Visa Exempt canDavid ***********
@Graham *****
and its 15 days so not relevant to the posters questionJan ******************
@David **********
If you see my first comment above, -makes no difference, but a visa for the citizens entitled to visa exemption is two months.David ***********
@Jan *****************
so makes no difference to his question at all ?David ***********
@Jan *****************
thanks. I learned nothing relative to his question either !Reply to

Yes just bring an extra 1000 baht to pay for the 2 day fine. And your extension will be dated from the end of your original stamp so you'll only get 28 days.
