What should I do if I've overstayed my visa in Thailand as a Singapore passport holder?

go straight to the airport and have cash ready

apologise. wai wai wai . you won't escape the fine but if it is your first time and you have the right attitude you won't get blacklisted .

sorry for you 😔

Just go to airport...while immigration counter, officer will ask you to pay fine 500 per day. Pay your fine, get a receipt and depart to your country..but beware to be caught before.

Straight to the airport. Don't get into trouble /arrested beforehand. Make sure you have the cash ready when you arrive at the airport immigration. Cash, apologetic behaviour and you should be fine.

I'd talk with an agent and try to sort it out, failing this the airport with the funds and a little extra.

Just go to airport as planned pay the fine hope they don't document your overstay and I believe cash is the main language spoken there besides thai Chokh di

I would go to the airport and play dumb (tell them you only saw it the night before as you were checking your ticket). If you go to immigration then you're admitting to breaking the law, and like in any country there's a good chance they'll detain you and hold you until you're deported.

While if you're at the airport and pretend you misunderstood the rules (which probably happens a lot), and you're leaving anyway, it's way easier for them to fine you and send you on your way than to detain you and deal with all that paperwork. Especially now that they want to attract tourists they don't want to make a scene either. Just look scared and upset, if it's your first time they'll probably let you off easy.

My advice would be to read and understand the limitations on visa that you obtained and if you had then you would not find yourself in this unfortunate position.

given that the readers have no knowledge about the qualifications/veracity of the posters and we are being given multiple conflicting reports... What is your source of knowledge on this?

Overstaying your date in your passport is breaking the law.

Many times on here people ask is it ok to overstay - 1, 2, 5 days etc. The fine at the immigration exit desk is 500 baht per day of overstay. Some immigration officers will waive the fine if it is only 1 day, but you’ll still get a red stamp in your passport.

HoweVer if you are stopped inside the country for any reason - like at a police check point - even on your way to airport or border crossing then be prepared for a whole lot of trouble.

The police may arrest you as you have broken the law. If they do you’ll be fined in court and then sent to the nearest Immigration Detention Centre, where you will be kept until you buy a one way ticket back to your home country. If you don’t have the funds for that you will be kept there until you find some means of raising those funds. Once you have your ticket, you will be deported and blacklisted from entering the country for up to 5 years.

Sounds dramatic but it sometimes happens. 500 baht a day sounds cheaper than 1900 baht at a local immigration office but in the overall scheme of things it is never wise to overstay.

Just pay in the airport. You will pay 500 baht per day or 13,500 baht for 27 days overstay.. No need to get worried as you have a ticket going home.

Amazing how can’t count & have no real 1st hand experience but still chime in

no worries, just go to the airport for your departure and pay 500each day of ovetstay...if you have overstayed over 20days...dont worry only just pay...do not go to the immigration dept. Just depart at the airport all can be done.

I was 1 day overstay and got pulled to one side and made to feel that I had overstayed a whole lot more, no fine but got a black mark written on my passport,. That was 2019, but just got a 60 day (extendable by 30) day Evisa in uk for my next trip,.

Personaly , go airport and pay there .

If you go immigration you take a risk .

You Can be locked or passoport holded.

But dont be arrested before ...

Bé honest in thailand is not always the best choice with police and immigration .

Don’t get caught. It’s straight to the Hilton

First off Don’t get arrested before going to immigration or the airport, prepare 14,000 Baht in cash for payment at the airport/immigration office…buy some Red Fanta to make merit in the morning…good luck

I friend had an overstayed by mistake and 10k at an agent got it sorted... Better than black listed..

13,500THB fine at airport and the chance of getting black listed and banned.

Better off going to immigration now and surrendering as an illegal immigrant. You may get lucky if you say sorry and give some very deep Wai's.

Don’t go to immigration they will lock you up just go to the airport and pay the fine

best thing is to pay overstay at airport or possible also to make a visa run but not convenient if you have a flight ready end this week

Go to airport fly out for a day pay the 500 baht X 27 days which is capped at 20k I’ve done it loads of times

Always better to volunteer yourself in this situation and pay the overstay fine than get arrested and go through the process that way.

Most IO's will be more understanding if you approach them first.

Good luck.

Trying to work out what visa you actually have. There is no 90 days multiple entry that gives you 30 days on arrival. Can you post a picture (obscuring any personal details).

Go to immigration tomorrow
