I'll like to ask for a friend.
He has a passport from Taiwan and came on a 15 days Visa exempt but was extended for another 90 days (unsure what type of extension.
He lost his passport and wanted to apply an emergency passport from the local consulate after making a police report. He is planning to head home. He will be here ~50 days from his planned date of departure.
The question is:
Does immigration have a record of his extension. I'm afraid my friend might have to pay overstay fine due to the loss passport.
Your insights are appreciated. Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquires about a friend from Taiwan who lost his passport after entering Thailand on a 15-day visa exemption, which was later extended for 90 days. The user is concerned whether immigration has a record of the extension and if the friend might incur an overstay fine. Community responses indicate that immigration likely has a record and that the friend needs to follow the necessary steps: file a police report, apply for an emergency passport at the consulate, and visit the immigration office to ensure the extension is noted before departing Thailand.
