What kind of visa extension options are available in Khon Kaen for someone overstaying their visa?

@Steven *****

- Just in case you need to go to Laos from Khon Kaen, you can take a train to Nong Khai for less than 100b and walk to the border from the station. If you need a Laos visa, change your baht to US$ first and you will pay $30-35 - considerably cheaper than 1500 and do the same on the way back

@Steven *****

the solution offered out by Robert IS the work around. Go to the immigration office, pay the overstay and then immediately apply for a 60 day "visit family" extension.

Your only other option is to border bounce, paying the overstay fine at the border when you stamp out, BUT you'd most likely need a visa to get into a neighboring country and get to from the border so that can add up to more than the 1900baht for the extension.

Yep, and you don't have to leave next saturday. You can stay longer and have a little more time to sort out the problems.

Application fee for an Extension of Stay is 1.900 Thb, it does not matter if application gets denied and you get 7 days or they accept it and give you 1 year. Cost is the same.

No, on the Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage there are only two Extensions of Stay possible. The 1 Year with financial requirements OR on each entry the 60 days without financial requirements.

Or a 1 year, but then you need to meet all the financial requirements.

You can apply for the 60 day Extension of Stay based on visiting your wife. Cost 1.900 Thb and you have to pay the fine of 500 Thb a day for the overstay.
