What are the consequences of overstaying a visa in Thailand for one year?

@James *********

also thai nationals working illegally

Chris Cunniffe completely incorrect, have you ever being in this situation before - I never said prison - it the detention centre unless you really upset them and they bring you in front of a district judge on other charges criminal or cival charges,which is a different thing all together but similar system.

In thailand admission of guilt - weather accepting to pay the fine or what ever admits your guilt- with immigration bkk at the center you go and pay your fine to the girl on the desk - then your given a paper and told to report to the ground basement floor to where the cells are to - to present a paper to the duty officer down there.

Up to him - he can lock you up for an hour or days - I was lucky I got 2 hours because I had broke the Immirgrarion laws and purged my guilt and paid the fine back then it was 100b a day up to a limit - today it’s 20,000 - I was then let go with my new passport updated - I was not arrested on over stay or being deported back then - I got a new passport and I had to go to the bkk centre where they give you stamp in your passport - so I went voluntarily - I was not pulled in and arrested or facing deportation - but then again that was up to them

I got put in a cell for 2 hours to reflect.

Even in a police matter in a civil case In district courts - if one party in front of the judge admits they are wrong and offers compensation - they have admitted guilt and it still goes on their record as an offense.

The judge will ask the other party weather they accept the compensation offered or not.

I accepted before and then the judge asked how long I wanted him locked up - I replied I didn’t want them locked up but the judge said they admitted guilt and must go to the cells that is Thai custom - I was told the minimum was 15 minute so I said ok to this - the judge then said I can go to the district court cell in the basement and take mug shots of who assaulted me if I like but I declined to offer.

This is Thai custom and nothing to do with tourism.

If you purge your guilt you admit guilt and they will lock you up for a period of time for you reflect on your crime.

If you piss off the jailer who has a lot of power - you will stay longer and I know people who have done this and being kept there for weeks even thought they had the moneys to fly etc.

This is Thai custom - ask any lawyer and they will confirm this as fact.

Barney Gentry you sound like the most unkind human being there is out there, i hope you suffer somehow and you actually realize that you're suffering. God is good and will serve you appropriately. what a dictator you sound like, Thailand is the absolute opposite of what you speak like or represent. hope your kid was born with 7 fingers see how you think you can control everything. Mr. Perfect - NOT.

Jonas Persson they have changed the laws - over stay if they or the police catch you means deportation and banning you from entering Thailand for a number of years

Kevin Dunne Don’t think Raymond’s payment was official!

Noi Furze probably you're right

Kevin Dunne you need to get a more active life old man if Social media is all you love 555

Kevin Dunne papaya salad and the electric chair for any sensible wit displayed on this thread…😀👍

As you arrived Savanaphumi Airport 🛫, ask their office and move straight to solve the issue. Hold your 20k handy with any excuse you might have. Sort it there and move straight to stamp out.

Sc Toji Immigration Office

Sc Toji just go through as you normally would, there's a table after immigration that you pay and they will give you a ban. Only way you end up locked in a immigration center first is if you don't have the 20k to pay and a ticket home.

Grantio Decaprio New no you pay and go to gate

Grantio Decaprio New Thais are happy to get rid of you. Ok prob. You fly from the detention . But when you have a paid fly they put you on this

"(officially airplane)"? If you're American, maybe, but in the UK, Australia and many other Commonwealth countries, it's officially "aeroplane", so the spelling depends on where you're from 😉
