Asking for a friend. She is on a 60 day tourist visa that ends this Sunday but her flight out of country to go home is Monday night. What are her options? Pay 500b fine at airport? Will this effect her getting a tourist visa in the future? Or can/should she go to immigration here in Chiang rai and get an extension? I am unfamiliar with tourist visas and the processes.
Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A friend has a 60-day tourist visa expiring soon but has a flight the next day. She can either pay a fine for overstaying if she leaves the next day, or better yet, visit immigration in Chiang Rai to request an extension. It's noted that typically, there is no fine for an overstay of one day when departing the country, but to avoid issues with future visa applications, securing an official extension or doing a border run might be preferable.
