Ask Thailand · Answer

The user is inquiring about the possibility of overstaying their visa in Thailand for 2-3 days without facing severe consequences. Multiple responses from the community emphasize that while it is possible to overstay, it carries significant risks, including arrest, deportation, and a ban from re-entering Thailand for several years. The recommended course of action is to get a visa extension from the local immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht, which is safer and avoids the overstay penalty of 500 baht per day. Additionally, overstaying can negatively affect future interactions with immigration authorities, both in Thailand and the user's home country.

One thing not mentioned about overstay is the reaction of immigration in your own country upon return. The overstay will be noted in your passport. I unavoidably overstayed several days some years back and spent over 2 hours being inspected, searched and questioned by immigration officers back home. It's not an experience I wish to repeat.

It's a bad idea to intentionally overstay for the reasons stated; trying to buy your way out of trouble.

Maybe ask yourself this question....would you be happy with a foreigner intentionally doing the same in your country? 🤔

Your fine would be 1500 baht plus an overstay stamp and if caught before jail just pay for the 30 day extension

Good luck

The risk of being caught by the police is through random stop and search, vehicle checkpoints or when police stop by the hotel you are staying at and ask to see the photocopy of your passport you provided for reception. Thereafter  detention and deportation, likely not using the ticket you had already booked. Plus all the ban stamps. You will be escorted to the plane in the clothes they caught you in, such as swimwear. Your luggage has gone.

James ************** · Answer

1500, and an annoying note on your PP, that may come back to bite you if you come here a lot....just pay the 1900 forv30 day xtra

Rei *********** · Answer

You can overstay as long as you want, just don't get caught. You can swim back to your country when you already decided to get out of Thailand.

Wayne ********* · Answer

3 days overstay is 1500 baht fine and risky overstaying as well better to pay 1900 at immigration as others wisely  advised to avoid the risk of being arrested and getting the overstay stamp in your passport.
