TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of extending their visa by one day since their flight departs after their visa stamp expires. In response, multiple comments provide insights: while some suggest a fine of 500 baht for a one-day overstay at the airport, others indicate that a formal extension is not feasible for just one day, as there is no provision for a single-day extension. Several users emphasize the low risk of consequences for minor overstays, but caution against potential long-term issues related to future travel or visa applications.

What is the lie I am supposed to be spreading? I asked a question that is all. I have been coming to Thailand for over 50 yrs so there is a very good chance that I do know something about the place. So again what is the lie?

What time of the day? You don't need to end up with an overstay. They can come back and haunt you.

stop spreading lies. The term is clear <90 days overstay = fine and no ban no evidence of it

>90 days of over stay, serious violation of rules = fine and ban

Never happened to me once, to get visa checked anywhere outside the airport. Anyway, person who posted this will be at the airport ( leaving ) and at that point they just want you gone.

But if arrested for overstay at a road checkpoint or in a bar check, for example, that's a 5 year ban. Why risk it?

Overstay for 500bhat no big deal
Rick ********
I was one day and did not have to pay 500bht. Just got a note on passport saying overstay 24 hours. You will be ok.
Brown ********
You can but for 1 day just pay the 500 baht fine at the airport. Otherwise your paying 1900 baht and wasting a day at immigration.

Cost you 500 baht max ,not a problem

Go to the Airport and clear immigration 9 hours early. Home and dry no problem.

@Nick ***********
might be difficult to check any bags in 9 hours ahead of time .. but I know this option works well for up to 3 hours after midnight
Karel *********
Pay 500 baht at the airport for overstay 1 day :)
Karel *********
Thats right but anything below 90 days is just fine
Graham ******
@Karel ********
If you manage to get to the Immigration desk at the airport, but why risk a 5 year ban?
Graham ******
@Karel ********
and don't get caught in the meantime
Martin *****
Extension will cost you 1900 baht. Overstay 500 baht but I dont think they will charge you for it
Chris ******
Just overstay 1 day no big issue
Graham ******
@Chris *****
Unless caught then it is a major issue
Gary ***********
@Graham *****
A few days over is not a problem... Twice I've paid the fine for 4 days over & has never been an issue later on either...
Graham ******
@Gary **********
My warning is don't get caught before you stamp out otherwise you could be saying Goodbye Thailand for 5 years. Don't get caught in a police check at a bar or in a roadside check etc.

@Graham *****
been in Thailand 20 years. Never been asked to show evidence of my passport or work permit... only shown my driver's licence a few times at police checks. Never had a problem with that either

@Chris *****
well done for not getting caught
Chris ******
@Graham *****
I've only overstay 1 day they were ok about it

If you qualify for an extension you can apply for one. There is no such thing as a 1 day extension. If you entered as a tourist you can get a one time 30 day extension if you haven't already.
