What should I do if my tourist visa in Thailand is about to expire before my flight to Vietnam?

One day is usually waived

Visa over stay

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.

I overstayed by 4 days .not my fault it was airline ..but I had no probs .just paid overstay at airport..and asked do I have blackmarl now .he said no nothing no problem ..so you will be ok

Exstend

It is only money

Timing isn’t your specialty

I'm not sure if you have already used your visa extension but if you don't want absolutely any trouble your best option is probably to go to immigration, apply for a visa extension:

- if it is denied because you have already extended once then you'll get a 7 day extension which will allow you to leave the country on the 4th

- if you haven't extended yet, you'll get a 30 day extension.

That will cost you 1900thb in both cases.

Overstaying is not recommended, and it also affects you for future visa applications in other countries. However, you can do it, you'll have to pay 500 bath per day and you'll get into the very unlikely possibility of being detained for overstaying. Something that never happens but doesn't mean it can't happen.

Yes, I'll keep you in my thoughts!

Just pay 500thb for per day over stay at the airport
