What should I do if I have overstayed my Non-B visa in Thailand by 15 days?

I had overstayed my visa by 5 days, gave me a fine extended my visa for 30 days backdated to when original visa expired. It only 5 days though and I was at immigration office when it was picked up applying for a extension. The woman at immigration gave a little laugh at my explanation all good. I don't know about 15 days though pushing it a little .

I saw a chap in the back seat of a immigration police branded truck outside Samui immigration sometime in the last 12-24 months. Not quite sure what this fella had done, but I think he was handcuffed. And didn't look too happy.

You can post anonymously you know, just saying. Not a good idea posting that your breaking the law. You doomed due to the length, fly out immediately and pay the fine otherwise you will end up in a detention center for 2 months waiting to get processed.

Overstay is just their bonuses 🙏🏽🤙🏽.

I just left last month, 2 year overstay. Your only option is to not get caught. If you make it to the airport just check into your flight and at passport check point just tell immigration you need to pay overstay. It’s no issue IF you make it to the Airport. Good luck

Dont get stopped by cops. Never over stay, NEVER unless you're in a hospital in a comma. NEVER

Please let us know how things end.

Good luck for you

Go to airport NOW, with 7500 baht , cry a lot and board a flight .Of wait a day its 8000, or 500 per day. If 1st offense, probably won't be blacklisted.

Dont lie, they've heard it all.

Ok so since you are on expired Non B, get it cancel with an agent, and than agent can get you out of overstay and propose alternative. Ive seen miracle done. Contact a good agent like

Shouldn't you have been asking these questions at least 16 days ago?

Goto the cambodia border and go down the road about a mile and then cut in the trees and walk across into cambodia and enjoy.

Dont bother. Thais dont mess with overstays. Much too busy.

simple fact you need to leave the country immediately

Get to an agent asap. Let them handle the overstay and they can get a 30 day extension if that possible or do a visa run. One or the other. Cambodia visa run or Lao depending on nationality

A Non-B VISA and an extension of stay based on employment are not the same when you stop working

.

There have been several posts recently about Non-B visas/extensions and work permits and what you do when you stop working.

First off IF you stop working you need to go and cancel your work permit. You should not just let it expire, you should not turn it back in to your employer hoping they'll cancel it. Instead go to the Ministry of Labour and cancel it yourself.

Next if you are on a VISA <- meaning a sticker you got from a thai consulate or a stamp you got from the immigration office, you don't need to do anything and you are allowed to stay until the visa stamp you have expires. If it is a multi-entry visa you can even continue to border bounce and stay until the end of the visa.

If you are on an extension of stay from the immigration office (usually issued a year at a time for employment) you need to take the receipt from canceling your work permit AND your termination paperwork from your company and go cancel your extension.

The rule is you go cancel your work permit and then your extension on the same day. You can get a letter from your employer stating you stop work on xyz date, go cancel your work permit and extension early and the immigration office will stamp you in until that date on the paperwork.

It is a long held belief that you have an automatic 7 days to get out of the country when you cancel your extension. You do NOT.

It is totally up to the immigration officer how many days if ANY they stamp you for when you cancel your extension. Most of the time they cancel the extension that day and that means you leave the country that day. If you can't do that you can buy a 7 day 'application for extension denied' stamp to give you a week to get out of the country.

Canceling your work permit and your extension the way I outlined wipes the slate clean and you won't have any problem down the road.

When did your work permit finish?

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Why have you overstayed?

Yes, you can go to immigration, pay the 7.5k baht fine plus 1.9k baht for the extension and get 30 days, but that 30 days is now 15 because you were already 15 days late for the extension. So you will get stamped until January 10 ish. No, you cannot get arrested at immigration office. Many people go there late, pay the overstay and get their 30 days minus the overstay days. Edit: You are on yearly extension, my bad, go there, pay the fine, show the money in bank and extend another year (no idea which yearly extension you are on).

Be aware. You cannot clear overstays at any land border.

You need to fly out.

What sort of 1 year visa are you currently on?

You cannot remove the overstay unless you have a time capsule and can go back in time 15 days.

You are now an illegal immigrant in the Kingdom and if you're stopped by Police you will be arrested, you will be sent to the immigration detention cells and will be deported at your expense for flights.

Try 1st class visas in The Queen Victoria on Soi 6 Pattaya. They may be able to get you out the Country via Cambodia with a small fine.
