TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about their daughter's visa expiring a day before her flight out of Thailand. According to comments, for overstays of under 24 hours, there's a waiver for a 500 baht fine, and she would receive a special stamp indicating the overstay won't incur a fine. It's recommended to check directly with immigration to avoid a negative stamp if possible. The timing of the flight is important; if she can check in on the night of the 17th, she might be able to avoid the issue altogether.

Depending on the time of her flight on the 18th, she could go through immigration before midnight on the 17th then she in transit lounge in theory, she been stamped out of thailand, if the flight is PM that a long long wait

it wouldn't work in most cases under the current situation. Because not many airlines allow full online check-in. Or you need to check-in your luggage. Except for a few routes of a few certain airlines, the check-in counters are open only 3-4 hours before the flight departure time.

I would talk to immigration directly. You don't want an overstay stamp if you can avoid it.

one thing to also keep in mind is the timing. You didn't mention her time of flight. If her flight is by any chance in the early am of the 18th, she could be passing passport control before midnight on the 17th, and there will be no overstay at all, as she would officially have left Thailand at the time she went through passport control.

for overstay of under 24 hours the 500 baht fine is waived and she'll get a thai language stamp in her passport that says "overstay under 24 hours fine waived"
