Good morning everyone, URGENT question on behalf of a friend:

"What are the visa implications of the (red?) overstay stamp? I know it means that they CAN refuse you entry, but I'm trying to get an idea of likely that is...

Thank you so much in advance for your answers!

Answer summary

The overstay stamp in a passport can raise concerns regarding entry and visa approval in Thailand. While anecdotal evidence suggests that individuals are rarely refused entry solely due to an overstay stamp, it is important to note that the duration of the overstay can play a significant role. Long overstays—such as those over 90 days—could lead to mandatory bans. It is advisable for those with an overstay to apply for a visa at the consulate or embassy before attempting to re-enter Thailand.

I have never personally heard of anyone being refused entry because they had an overstay stamp in their passport from a previous visit. Nor have I heard a single report of someone being denied a visa for thailand at a thai consulate for having an overstay stamp in their passport.

i have heard of someone being denied a visa due to overstay stamp, but it was a while ago. Visitors should respect the terms of their visas and avoid such situations.

As Thomas said, it depends. Also depends on how long the overstay was; if it was a long time, for example 90 days, they would have a mandatory 1 year ban. Best they apply for a real visa at the embassy/consulate where they live before trying to enter the country.

Depends entirely on the consulate/embassy.
