Thinking of departing a day after my visa ends. Anything to be concerned about ? 500 baht levy fee is not an issue. Would his go my my 'clean' record. ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you're considering leaving Thailand the day after your visa expires, there are several factors to keep in mind. While the 500 baht levy fee for overstaying is not a significant concern for you, there may be long-term implications for your immigration record. Some community members warn that an overstay stamp might affect future visa applications, especially from places like Penang. Although some have reported that overstaying by under 24 hours might lead to a waived fee, it could still result in a stamp in your passport. Ultimately, while minor offenses can sometimes be overlooked, immigration policies can change unexpectedly, so it's advisable to exercise caution.

Nothing is ever a problem here until, on a whim, it changes overnight ๐Ÿ˜‰

usually on a single day overstay (under 24 hours) they waive the 500 baht fee and stamp this on your exit stamp.

I make same mistake in past.

Need at airport 20 minutes more time. Not need to pay fee. But get a comment in my passport at the normal stamp. Never try to translate.

After I get non-o visa. No problem. 30day arrivel visa. No problem.

But however. Be sure I not do again.

Might not go down too well if you want a visa from Penang in the future from the latest reports. Personally, the way it's heading, I wouldn't want an overstay stamp in my passport.
