Overstaying a visa in Thailand, even by just two days, can lead to fines and serious consequences. Typically, the fine for overstaying is 500 to 1,000 Baht per day. If caught by the police, the situation can escalate to arrest and detention, which may result in deportation and a five-year ban from re-entering Thailand. It is strongly advised to avoid overstaying, as it can complicate future visits and immigration processes.

Remember, they do not want you here. Any little thing they can find to use against you, they will. Follow the law no matter how stupid it appears.
Well, can you explain why they change the visa laws every 6 months and never are clear on what has changed? They want all of china and India to come for 10 days spend all their money then leave. People who want to live here jump through more hoops every year

You should never go on overstay if you can avoid it.
Although it's unlikely with only some days, if you have any interaction with the police (random traffic checkpoint, car with facial recognition camera
or even following a workshop where they check the teacher) while you're even on one day overstay, you can be arrested, taken to deportation jail, and held there until your flight (which has to be a direct one to your home country at your own expenses). Even with one day overstay you'll be banned from Thailand for 5 years when caught.
If you get to the airport then you'll pay a fine (500 per day) and receive an overstay stamp in your passport. An overstay stamp could potentially affect your ability to purchase a visa to another country or enter another country or Thailand in the future.
there are no cases as it would be bad for business. Which is a great thing. The lineups for overstay fines at BKK are often big. Overstay is never a great idea but it all. But it happens daily and the fines are appropriate. I just thank the officers for another amazing stay and pay my fine. Good revenue for them. And everyone leaves happy
great answer sir. i completely agree. Some people say no big deal. In my opinion it is not smart to overstay for the reasons you stated.

If you plan to return, I would advice against it because you'll get a mark stating you over stayed in your visa and every time you enter Thailand or go to immigration, they will ask about it and use it as a means to extort you.
1000thb fine and naughty boy stamp in your passport.

The immigratio does not care much of your overstay. Just pay 500THB per day and getting a special stamp on the passaport. Nothing serious
Instead, if the Police catches you in overstay, regardless it is 1 day or 1 year, you are considered a criminal and might be treathed accordingly. (It's a matter of luck on what can happen nevertheless, if you are involved in an accident or whatever issue, the situation will definitely getting worse.

No big deal pay fine and leave unless you are stopping and arrested then anywhere from 2 weeks to a month sleeping on the floor in the detection center and then deported back to your own country and banned from Re-Entry into Thailand for the next 5 years. $ 1000 baht at the airport or 1900 baht at immigration to extend your stay for the remaining time before your flight out. Up too you as they say in Thailand but they have check stops out all over the place very risky if you ask me.

For every single day you will end up paying a fine when you leave the country and you will get a stamp in your passport.

Very bad idea! Just do what you are supposed to do, pay the money. You know better and shouldn’t even ask that silly question.
lol. Are you even serious man?? If you can't get out of that in Thailand, it's because you are stupid. There is no risk, but fear owns some people. You know the feeling...
1000 baht fine. Not suggesting to do it. But they won't arrest him for 2 days. Many, many people have stayed over. I haven't. And won't. But 2 days, you will pay a small fine, be allowed back in.
twice I overstayed for a period of one day and two days, but they let me go without paying for the fine. I offered to pay and they said it’s not an issue. I am sure if one overstays 2+ days then the fine would be applied.

Met a Thai woman just before you were about to head to the airport?
if foolish enough to have your passport and turn it over to police officer, you can show him your exit ticket or pay 500 baht for his dinner. Nobody is getting arrested
I don’t know if this is true, but I thought I read in one of these groups that if you have an overstay from one country, it could be harmful for you going to another country
overstay can cause many problems if it wants to and yes other countries can look at overstay from other countries if they wish. It’s simply not worth it. I’ve done it and caused me anxiety everytime the IO officer used to question me when I arrived. I ended up buying a new passport so it wasn’t visible and never got questioned again 🤣🤣
the anxiety would kill me as well. I don’t know why the OP just doesn’t get an extension. He’s gonna have to pay ฿1000 fine. The extension is only 1900 so he’s only out 900 for the two extra days. Well worth it in my opinion.
Did you make the mistake that 60 days is not 2 months and first and last day both count even if only few hours?

If you have any interaction with the police, you can be arrested, held in immigration detention, deported back to your home country at your own expense, and banned from Thailand.
