Looking for overstay advice (1-2 days)
Hi everyone, sorry if this topic has been done to death. Here's my situation:
- I work in TH, had the proper non B visa and work permit
- Found new job
- New employer wants me to completely reset visa etc by cutting old paperwork and going to Laos
- Cut the old work permit and related visa, the documents tied to first employer, yesterday the 9th of june. Stamp in passport says 9th of june is my exit date
- Have a bus ticket ready for that evening, but realize I won't arrive at Thai-Laos land border untill morning of the 10th
- Ask officers ar Chaeng Watthana if it's an issue. They say "no, maybe you have to pay a 500 baht fine, but no problem"
- So I get on the bus, arrive at the land border on the morning of 10th
- Get told: "Overstay, pay the fine in Bangkok at airport and fly out"
- Get on first bus back
- First available flight leaves early morning of the 11th
So now the question:
I reckon this will lead to a fine of at least 1000thb right? Two days of overstay. That's okay with me.
What I am more concerned about is a potential ban. Is there any realistic chance this affects my ability to return to Thailand?
This is the first ever time I had an issue like this, hence not knowing anything.
Thanks for your help!
