What are the chances of getting a visa after overstaying in Thailand, and what type of visa should I apply for a seven-week trip from the UK?
I am looking to book another trip to Thailand for around a seven week stay. However, I was there a few months ago and overstayed by 12 days. I paid the fee at immigration. What's the chances of my Visa being denied? Also, what type of Visa do you apply for for a seven week trip and where do you do this? Coming from the uk 🇬🇧!
Answer summary
A user inquired about the likelihood of their visa being denied due to a previous 12-day overstay in Thailand and asked about the suitable visa type for a seven-week visit from the UK. Responses indicated that an online application for a 60-day tourist visa would be the easiest option. Concerns were raised about how the overstay might affect entry, but many commenters suggested it should not be a significant issue, primarily depending on overall entry history and compliance with immigration regulations.

Stay in the UK if you cannot abide by the rules of staying here, people wonder why immigration is getting tough, to many break the rules and don't give a toss.

It's not really the overstay part though that will also be a part in the IO's consideration. He or she will also review your past entry and exit history and consider if you are trying to stay in Thailand long term. If you have had frequent trips and you stayed the total length of the stay permit, then the overstay will become a huge red flag.

If you overstay for 90 days or less, you generally only pay the daily fine at departure with no re-entry ban. If you exceed 90 days, statutory bans apply based on whether you surrender voluntarily or are caught/arrested.

Ronny Liekens If you are on overstay for just one day when arrested then a deportation and blacklisting will follow, the 90 days rule is only if you surrender

Yes if you are caught by immigration than the re entry ban is up to 5 or up to 10 years, but than it would be mentioned when he left

You will get your visa issued but whether Immigration grant you entry will depend not just on your previous stay but also your history in the last 12 to 18 months
