What issues might arise when returning to Bangkok after overstaying a visa and paying the fine?
Has anyone overstayed, paid the fine, left BKK then had problems/hassle when returning to BKK with Immigration? My visa ends Jul 5
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the experiences and concerns related to overstaying a visa in Bangkok, specifically regarding potential problems with immigration when returning after paying fines. Participants mention that for overstays of less than 90 days, paying a fine of 500 baht per day typically suffices without future penalties, provided there's no pattern of repeated overstay. It is noted that leaving the country on the last day of the visa validity is acceptable, with no fines incurred for one day of overstay.

Not a problem at all, it's the same day ;-)

Even the day after. No fine for one day overstay.

It's totally okay to exit the country on the last day of your "admitted until" date (y)

Personally, NO, but I have spoken to someone that had difficulties being approved for a visa via an Embassy due to repeated overstay stamps and those were relatively short overstays, but it showed a repeated pattern of "abuse"....

Would all depend on the length of overstay

On an overstay of under 90 days (where you don't get banned) you should be able to just pay the 500 baht a day, get the overstay stamp and be on your way.
What problems are you alluding to experiencing when you return and equally important what visa are you returning on??

So that trip to Chiang Wattana is so much hassle you are willing to break the law and be potentially liable for two days, if you run into any police check, you wished you made the trip is all I am going to say.Caroline ******
OPcuz i would rather just leave on Jul 5 then go all the way to immigration ... time, hassle

I'd say that a 2 day overstay is highly unlikely to cause you a problem acquiring another visa or when you exit the country,
BUT
If you haven't extended your 60 day tourist visa stamp by 30 days yet, why not just do that and then you'll be 100% legal and legit
