My brother sent papers to the Thai embassy in London. Stating he want to stay from
2nd September till 11th of December. Which is 101 days. He recieved a 90 day visa and was told could get an extra 30 day visa when in Thailand. When we went to Thai immigration in Korat told he could not extend. Wrong 90day visa. He could only extend if he had children or wife in Thailand.
I have 2 questions if some one can help with.
1. Immigration said he could take a visa run and get an extra 30 day tourist visa. Advised to have 20000 with him if asked
2. Faranges at immigration told him to pay 5500 for 11days as he leaves country.
I do not believe this, as an overstay will get him
an overstay stamp on his visa. Some countries will not let you in with this stamp. Also if caught without up to date visa could end up in chockee.
Which of these 2 question is ok
I thank you in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses a situation where an individual received a 90-day non-immigrant visa but encountered issues with extension due to not qualifying under specific criteria (like marriage to a Thai citizen). The user seeks advice on two main points: 1) the recommendation from immigration to perform a visa run for an additional 30 days, including financial preparation, and 2) the legitimacy of a suggested fine for overstaying by 11 days. The community provides input on the types of visas, potential implications of overstaying, and alternative solutions such as visa runs.
