TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquires if their friend, banned from Thailand for five years due to overstaying, can return now that the ban has expired. Several comments discuss the nature of immigration laws, the possibility of complications upon reentry, and the importance of understanding the specifics around visa applications and past immigration records. Many users emphasize the difficulties one can face when returning after a ban, suggesting they get legal advice and be prepared for potential scrutiny at the border.

The immigration phone me and asked about relationship between me and her likes so many questions btw I would love to say don't overstay because it's so difficult to come back again 🙂🙂

For those comments:

When you are in your own country, you follow the rules and the law but why you go to somewhere else like Thailand and you say “just pay money and break the law”? Can’t you respect their own law? So why you choose to stay in there if you don’t like that place?

Here is the story.

My buddy. Fallen in love with Koh Phangan.

Overstayed for couple of years. Arrested, 2 months in prison, transferred to BKK, expelled from the country. Banned for 5 years.

After 5 years returned back with new passport.

Arrested in Phuket airport on arrival. Sent back to Russia without detailed explanation. All he got is “you not welcomed here” from the immigration officer.

 Oh okay. Weird. I overstayed 60 days, left Chiangmai December 2017. Then came back to Thailand through Bangkok March 2018. The immigration officer just looked through my passport, then said, "what happened here?". I said, "yeah I was stupid, my first time in Thailand and I thought I had 90 days...I'm just here for a few days to see a doctor, then I'm leaving" and showed him my outbound ticket. He let me in no problem.

The best thing to do is find a few lawyers who deal with immigration law, ask them how much it will cost to look into the case and what can be done to resolve it.

The ban is 5 years but it’s still up to the immigration officer she is dealing with when applying for a visa.

They can just say no for any reason really.

But if she can get a court to rule that she is free to enter Thailand again and show that document she should be fine.

I would estimate it would cost around 30k baht for something like that.

 They have your face and fingerprints in their system and any ban gets recorded in the immigration system and you’ll have a criminal record.

Overstays that don’t result in a ban may or may not be recorded into the system, it depends on where and how you had it resolved.

So in some cases a new passport can help with the overstay stamps but you can’t get around it once it’s in their database.

 flipping through a passport is the “easy” option and because they’re on a time “limit” (they’ve got hundreds of arrivals to process) that’s what they do. However if there is any sort of red flag or question about your entry they’ll take you aside and either they or another officer will scour your entry history intensely.

 My point is, you are more likely to be pulled aside if you have an expired "banned" or "overstay" stamp versus a clean passport. Note, I did state obtain a Visa before leaving her home country. Thus, not suggesting she try to sneak in. Just offering a suggestion to avoid extra scrutiny.

 yes that’s correct. Many people are under the impression that overstaying by a day or so is of no relevance and they can just pay the fine at the airport on the way out. What they don’t realise is if they are caught by police before they get to the airport (say at a random checkpoint) then there can be huge ramifications. Locked up by immigration police, sent to court, expelled from Thailand and banned for 5 or 10 years. Rarely happens but it can and has.

 There is no ban if caught at the airport for less than 90 days overstay. A 5 years ban while leaving Thailand is for a 3-years overstay. Your friend is not telling you everything, but it doesn't matter. The 5 years ban is over, he should be able to come to Thailand.
