My SETV is valid to 5 April and I fly out 2 am on the 6th of April. If I go through immigration before midnight then it is not an overstay is it? Tod Daniels and other knowledgeable members?
Answer summary
The user wants to know if exiting Thailand just before midnight on the last day of their visa validity would count as an overstay. Responses confirm that as long as they go through immigration before midnight on April 5th, it will not be considered an overstay. Additionally, they note that for short overstays, fines may be waived.

You have until midnight on the 5th of april to stamp out and not be on overstay, BUT usually when you're flying out and have an overstay of under 24 hours they waive the 500baht fine and only put a small stamp next to your exit stamp like this:
