What are the repercussions of overstaying a visa in Thailand, and why do some people complain about the penalties?

Bellend

It was that bad you overstayed by 10 days 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Thats is a long overstay. You deserve to be fined. Stop whining.

You were lucky just to pay a fine. Many countries in the world put you into jail if you overstay such a period. And by the way, if you not agree the rules of Thailand, just stay away.

Safe travels home! Chalk that up to 'lessons learned'.

The rules are the rules. I overstated back in November but not because I was being cavalier to the rules, it was a misunderstanding. I was given a document that said report back in 90 days, but my visa stamp was only good for 60 days. I didn’t look at my visa stamp until I was already 26 days past my deadline. Had I not been so careless I’d have seen that I was suppose to go back for my extension in October rather than November. I got fined 13,000 baht for my over stay but learned my lesson. If staying here on a TR visa it’s best to stick to the rules, nobody is “entitled” to stay here longterm on a tourist visa, it’s always at the discretion of the immigration officer.

Dont bother coming back. Thailand doesnt need or want whinging overstayers. Stay at home, you obviously DONT travel very well!

Just say it. I'm poor

Broke the law and complained. Wtf 🤣

It was so bad you overstayed a month and 10 days 🤣, bye

You can’t moan about overstaying a visa that’s run out come on!

WOW. First you complain because YOU broke the law and then you go on about it being a Buddhist country. Do you not have any respect??. I’m surprised you lasted as long as you did.. I’m not sure what makes you so special that the law dosnt apply to you. Laws are made for a reason. You broke it, you pay. It’s that Simple. I think you have the wrong attitude to be travelling outside your own country.

If you know the law… don’t complain

Why did you overstay to start with? Try to do that in Australia or America....

Just emailed your post to the thai police. You’re never coming back anywhere close to Thailand. Go to church and confess your sins to your daddy the pope! 😂🤣

Imagine overstaying for 1 month and 10 days, then complaining about the charge 🤣 what planet are you from by the way??

But you should find out beforehand. Laws and rules are also very important in other countries..😁😏👍👍

If so bad why did you overstay 40 days.?

Rather foolish comments if i may say so..!!

How high are you?

I see a cow too

Sorry. You are lost. You overstayed, and you blame Buddhism? There are alot of delightful and truly beautiful people in Thailand. Granted, few work for this toxic government.

Should I blame Christianity for all the problems in your home country?

In french, we say you want butter and money of butter...😅..you think you behave correctly...😉😁..

Its up to you if you will pay or go to jail. Law is law and you are not exempted. And religion has nothing to do with it.

you want to talk to the manager ?

Thailand has been one of the most generous Countries in the world for enabling Foreigners to stay in Country during Covid. Many people have been here over a year just on Covid Extensions.

Close the door on the way out......bye 👋

Indeed! I brought immigration a cow and they let me off with a warning!

you overstayed 1 month 10 days ? you are 100% stupid ... you can't do just what you want in any country Mr. Angry

People like this make me laugh 😂 they know the rules they should’ve just got extension for 1900 baht, I suppose that will teach them a lesson in life

Potevi evitare andavi in immigrazione ricevevi una estensione covid e lavoro fatto .

Se eri fuori estensione ovviamente paghi .

Sei stata fortunata che non ti hanno arrestata .

In tutto il mondo se superi estensione paghi o arresto .

Potevi evitare sta pagliacciata .😉

I had to do roughly 1 YEAR (YES 1 year) overstay in Turkey in 2020-21. It was right after when the pandemic started and all my flights to Europe and USA were canceled, airports were shut down, huge panic and no vaccine. I didnot feel safe returning to USA while >3000 died daily and half of the US claimed there is no pandemic, just a fake news. I paid around $130 USD at the airport for 1 year overstay and 3 months re-entry ban, that is it. I travel extensively, this was my first overstay at all, would never do it in normal times. It was great to get away with just $130. It would cost me $5,600 USD and life-time blacklist in Thailand, or even a capital punishment or execution on the spot, God knows.

To apply for citizenship and visas in the UK, immigrants spend more than 10 thousand pounds even if they are on minimum wage.

If you Beach visa conditions in the UK/EU you may end up in prison as well.

Asia is much more tolerant. Pay and escape.

Just stay out off thailand, when you can't follow the rules here,only your self to blame

What kind of person are you? You don’t respect the law of the country that you visited especially immigration law that apply directly to you. Aren’t you Shame of yourself? There is nothing to do with Buddhist country but the behavior of the person who visits

It is people like you that give the rest of us expats a bad name. Obviously you have a total disregard for policies and procedures.

Stay home next time.

Fyi, you Australia's policy

You just seem like a very stupid person who has some unreasonable sense of entitlement. Likely a few days in "overstay jail" would have been a good experience for you. Please please please...never come back to this wonderful country

Hope you get banned for rest of Life. Stay away from Thailand and study Rules and Laws.

Wow! Really… ? Maybe this is why the country seems to be clamping down on the backpacking crowd. Follow the simple rules… no fines. Pretty simple.

This has got to be some kind of Russian trolling Bot... it simply can't be genuine.

Change your name to KAREN!

500 baht/day on overstay is the correct charge. Some people avoid this charge by not overstaying.

So true

I feel sorry for you, but the big question is: when you hate a place why on earth you would overstay there ? Just leave on the early stages

Many many countries give visitors the benefit of the doubt. I can’t even count all the visa overstayers I have met in the states, you know why? Because when you leave, no one checks to see if you over stay or not..

You overstayed didnt want to pay for visa extention ,is your own fault deserve everything you got,free loader🤬🤬🤬

Is this a joke post?

Som nam na

Next time look at the dates in your passport, it's not rocket science to work out when to go to immigration for a visa stamp is it?

Ouch, I shot myself , now who should I blame 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

You did it to yourself you broke the law then you want to wined about it. You should be glad you didn’t get put in jail . People like you ruined it for everyone else . Go back to the hole you came from and never come back.

wow..u overstay and u think u a right lol ?

If there are no LAW in a country..i think the world gonna end soon right?

Are you just an idiot are what ? hope they black listed you. So you can't come back into Thailand. Then you have to post on here to let us know how ignorant you are. Please just stay at home and don't travel anymore.

Imagine if you were a visitor in your own country and did the same thing ,what would be the consequences of that ?

You are a disgrace Why would you moan about being fined for staying in a country for 40 days illegally ?

Hopefully you will never go back to Thailand ever again 😡

Don't over stay the rules are in black and white you break the rules you pay the price

Chancer

Lucky u didn’t get banned 5 years if ur overstay u pay the price by breaking the Thai law this how it is

If they stopped you while you were racking up your overstay - you could have been jailed and deported.

Think yourself lucky.

Anybody forced you to go there ?

O brava furba!

You're right. Thailand doesn't deserve tourists with ability to break law.

500 baht a day is very reasonable, they could charge whatever they wanted and you would have to pay, do your homework before you break Thai law

One month and 10 days overstay. You obviously didnt give a damn about your visa and length of stay it allowed. Your reaping what you sewed, its not immigrations fault or it being a Buddhist country. You are the one to blame no one else.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

For the last two years it has been easier than anytime in the last 20 years to get two month extensions inside Thailand yet you chose to overstay by over a month....lolol. Oh, and PCR tests are just bt2000.

555...

So you overstayed your visa and by the country law got fined…simpleton

Immigration rules in many countries are way more severe.

There are rules for entry and regulations about how long you can stay. If you break those rules you’re subject to a fine. Nothing about a Buddhist country looking for cash. They have rules. Why would you believe you are above the laws?

Breaking the law is just that. Pay the fine ...

Why did you overstay? You actually broke the law

I can’t understand where you’re coming from. You seem to say that you’ve broken the law for one month and 10 days and are now being fined for that. In what country on earth would you not be fined, or jailed for breaking the law?
