TLDR : Answer Summary

If you overstay your visa in Thailand, you will incur a fine that must be paid when you engage with immigration services, such as when applying for a visa extension or upon departure. The ability to apply for a visa extension despite an overstay is at the discretion of the immigration office, with the days of overstay potentially being included in your extension if approved. However, if your extension request is denied, you may be required to leave within 7 days.

You will be fined and pay that fine when you have something to deal with an Immigration, i.e. when you apply for an extension or when you leave Thailand.

Totally depends on the immigration office/officer if you can apply for an extension by paying the overstay fine. If your extension application is approved, those overstaying days are included in your extension, they are not added to your current stay. Means you can't get extra days by paying the overstay fine. In the worst case, your application for an extension is denied and you will be stamped for 7 days to leave the Kingdom.

, IF you're going to another country thai consulate to get a tourist visa <- like your employer said you should do, you can pay the overstay at the border NOT at the immigration office.

Unless you're going to the immigration office to get some type of extension just go to the border and clear the fine when you stamp out. Follow the recommendation of your employer

go try it, keep in mind they'll deduct the overstay days from any extension you get. They'll either let you get the extension OR you'll pay the fine and have to leave thailand today if they deny you

Are you NOW on overstay?

If so WHY ?

You asked for and received helpful advice recently...

What happened?

"Hi everyone!

Have a question. I have a work permit and a non b visa but with covid stamp extension and my visa expires on 24th, so the immigration told me to go out which i am going to do, my concern is can i have a tourist visa going back to thailand even i have a work permit and change it to non b visa after my company gets all the required documents?

Hope someone can give me an advice, Thank you! In advance 🙏

"Thank you so much for the advice 🙏, my employer said that i need to go out and get a tourist visa because the documents for for non-b is not complete yet so needs more time, and if i get tourist i can still extend my stay up to 90 days?

Tod Daniels replied...

"Rey Van Denila if that's what your employer is saying you should do then that's what you need to do. GO to a nearby country and apply for a single entry tourist visa, then come back to get 60 days and if you need it take the 30 day extension for 1900baht"
