What should I do if my visa has expired by one day in Thailand?
Question: my visa is now a day expired,how much trouble am I in? I marked my expiration day down wrong and I thought I had a few more days. I only waited till very last minute because I was working with a visa company that kept telling me to wait on more information 😑 how screwed am I? TIA

Answer summary
The user expressed concern regarding being one day over their visa expiration and sought advice on potential consequences and actions to take. Contributors advised that if the overstay is less than 90 days, it is generally manageable. The user should visit the immigration office promptly to pay a fine of 500 THB for each day overstay (totaling 500 THB), and they could apply for a 30-day extension for 1,900 THB. If they are unable to extend their visa, making a border run was suggested as an alternative solution. The type of visa held (in this case, an entry visa or exempt entry) was critical in determining the appropriate course of action.

OPThank you for laying it out for me like that. The simplest seems to be just going to immigration and paying the fine. This group is a great help. Thank you

@Kristen ******
also, if I may suggest.. man provisions to have 20,000 bt in cash on you (show money) should you decide to do a border run/hop..... I’m speaking from first-hand experience.... 😏☝🏽

Go tomorrow to Immigration, prepare to pay the fine of 500 Thb a day overstay, so 1.000 Thb and apply for an Extension of Stay for 30 days, which cost 1.900 Thb, they will stamp 30 days on top of your last Admitted to Stay date, so 28 days. Or if you did not do 2 border runs this year, make a border run, pay the 1.000 Thb overstay and get a new 30 day Visa Exempt Entry. Or option 3 leave Thailand pay the 500 Thb a day overstay and apply for a new Tourist Visa at a Thai Consulate before you make your way back.

so if she did ONE land border exempt entry in 2018, she can have a second one this calendar year. Pay the overstay fine and be good and come back for another exempt entry
Robert *******
So the last Admitted to Stay period in your passport is the one you got with your border run end of October and you overstayed this one with one day now?
Kristen *******
OPI did a border run at the end of October because my last extension was set to expire.
Kristen *******
OPI apologise I thought I had. Entry visa.
Gregor **********
Exempt entry? You cannot get the aforementioned. Overstay and it's over. You can easily exit and enter again

@Kristen ******
What kind of Visa is in your passport? we are all willing to help out, but for good advice you need to help us a little bit.Gregor **********
i am still awaiting the thread starter to tell us which kind of visa he/she was on
Robert *******
And if he goes to Immigration Office it all depends on the kind of Visa he holds, and as long as we do not know it stays a mistory if he can go or not.
Kristen *******
OPOkay will do! I have absolutely no problem paying fines for my mess up. Just wanted to know if I should be prepared to get kicked out of the country.

Go straight to immigration tomorrow morning and get an extension. You'll have to pay the usual 1.9k baht plus 500 baht fine for a day overstay which is absolutely fine since it's under 90 days IF you "surrender" to the authorities. If by any sort of silly chance, you get stopped and your visa checked, you're fucked, in the fashion Robert said above.
So as soon as the sun goes out, ride to immigration with your passport and queue. You'll be good by lunch.

It is 500 Thb a day with a maximum of 20.000 Thb. Till 90 days overstay only a fine if you turn yourself in at a checkpoint to leave the country, after 90 days you also get black listed. If your passport is checked before you reach the check point it is jail, court, Immigration Detention Center and back home at own cost with 5 year blacklist to re-enter the country.

Go tomorrow to the immigration office and pay the fine from 500/day, then apply for an extension, or, go to the border, pay the fine and leave Thailand
Paul *******
What type of visa do you have? When did it expire?
Kristen *******
OPI'm sorry. It's arrival. I don't know why I always call it entry..
Paul *******
I do not understand "entry visa". Look in your passport. Probably Visa on Arrival or 30 day Visa exempt?

OP@Paul ******
