Hey guys, a bit of a troubling question I hope someone can help me out with.

A friend has got a multiple-entry visa, and a ticket back home on the 2nd of April. He didn't double check the stamps and the 60 days ran out on the 15th. 

Has anyone been with a similar situation lately? 

I did some research online and found on answer saying it's pretty much the immigration officer's decision if he'll get 30 or just a 7 day extension. 

So the choices are either to wait until the 27th and pay 13 days of overstay or go tomorrow and pay for 5 days of overstay and then hope he'll get 30 I guess?

Anyone had a similar situation and could share a bit of insides on it? 

Cheers!

Answer summary

A user seeks advice for a friend who has overstayed a multiple-entry visa, which expired on the 15th, and faces a flight back home on April 2nd. They are uncertain about whether to wait until the 27th to pay for 13 days of overstay or to address the situation immediately, potentially incurring only 5 days of overstay and hoping for a 30-day extension. The comments suggest that making an application at the immigration office and paying fines may lead to either a 30-day extension or a shorter one depending on the officer's decision.

Yeah we're aware of the situations with the overstays and punishments for getting caught. What I'm asking is if anyone has had a similar cr experience and did they only get the 7 day or the full 30 days extension on it. Because he will be f*cked if they also give him 7 days tomorrow, which means the extension ends before the flight leaves.

they'll get the 30 day extension dated from the date their original stamp expired.

He's on overstay 100%, he needs to go to the immigration office pay the 500baht a day fine for overstay and then apply for a 30 day extension of stay for 1900baht

They'll give him the 30 day extension starting from the date his entry stamp expired..
