ORIGINAL POSTER

My 30 days extension (on voa) expired yesterday. I'm leaving Thailand on the 23rd. Can I still buy another extension or am I better off paying the 6500 fine? Where to go for a covid extension, and any link to the relevant form? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on whether they can obtain another extension for their visa that has already expired, or if they should pay a fine of 6500 baht instead. Community comments suggest it may be cheaper to apply for a 30-day extension rather than pay the fine, advising the user to visit the immigration office. There is also concern about the potential risks associated with overstaying.

Cheaper to pay 1900baht than to pay 6500 and have the risk of having a ban to re enter the kingdom

Cheapest would be to do another 30 day extension rather than pay the 6500 fine
