Has anyone been in overstay and got their 2nd extension? Did you have to pay the 500 baht a day overstay fine? Thanks

There is NO need to go in overstay, please do everything you can to prevent it. DO not listen to people who tell you, in Disneyworld they tell you to go in overstay and it is no problem, Goofy will help you.

But this is Thailand.

Thanks, take the 3.000 Thb with you if you go today, 6 x 500 thb a day fine for overstay, PLUS the 1.900 Thb for the Extension of Stay and hope that the Immigration Officer is lenient and just stamp you the new 30 days, do not get angry as this new stamp is added on 21 March and not start today.

Sorry I should have been more informative. Ok so I was due to border bounce 20th March, 30 day stamp expired 21st March. Borders closed. I emailed the British embassy on Friday about the letter with no reply. I emailed again yesterday with an instant reply and now have my personalised letter. So I am currently in 5 days of overstay, and I'm wondering will the 2500 baht fine be waived or will I have to pay it even though I couldn't leave and the British Embassy support's this fact.

My advice, just get to the immigration office ASAP!

Is it the special extension? To get that special extension you CANNOT be on overstay as it requires an embassy letter

So you got your first 30 day Extension of Stay, you applied for the second one and got not approved and 7 days to leave the country and now you are in overstay?
