waste of time. Easier to go to immigration centre and pay for an extension. Or even easier, take a 1 day overstay and pay 500 baht fine. And before any scaremongering, I’ve got 3 on my last passport, it’s a non issue.

1 day overstay you pay upon departure?

Does it have any consequences for future re-entry? I appreciate your commets Karim.

yes, you pay on departure and It’s 500 fine per day. I have overstayed 3 times by a couple of days, over the last 10 years. No issues on re-entry. That goes for me and many others I know.

What time do your flights arrive/depart?

Call Ewa to change your booking and leave on day 29 or 30 🥲

As Ewa may hassle you about being in LOS for more than 30 days, and you'll likely need onward travel reservations to be allowed to fly.

Or:

You may go to any immigration office and extend for 30 days costing 1,900 baht.

Call Ewa and change booking to depart on day 59 or 60 & enjoy a longer holiday in LOS 🙃 😎

or, get a 60 day TR visa online prior to your trip...
