What will happen if my visa expired and I'm flying out of Thailand tomorrow?
My visa expired 4 months ago. I'm flying to India tomorrow. Will they let me go or detain me? Thanks
Answer summary
The original poster is concerned about the consequences of their visa expiring four months prior, as they plan to fly to India the next day. Comments indicate that they will likely face a fine of up to 20,000 baht and a possible one-year re-entry ban when they attempt to leave Thailand. It is suggested that getting to the airport is crucial to avoid being detained. There is uncertainty about the exact penalties, but the community agrees on the likelihood of a fine based on their overstay.

, take no notice of the sad twats on here. Get to the airport, make sure you have 20k cash, be prepared to sign some paper, lose your 20k, and be banned for 1 year.Don't get caught beforehand, it will land you with a 5 year ban.
Good luck.

Make sure you make it to the airport . Once inside you will be fine . If you get stopped before making it to the airport then you will or could have a lot of trouble .

20,000 baht fine and 1 year ban.

OPI don't mind paying any fine as long as I'm allowed to go. My question is on what probable punishment will I get. On a different note, circumstances surrounding the overstay was beyond my control (don't want to go into details) Thanks

You will get locked up if you get caught before you get to the airport. So don't do that 😁
Lucky *******
OPOky, thanks guys. I was so scared. I thought I would be jailed for that. I have never been locked up before, haha
Lucky *******
OPOk, thanks for the info.

If you pay the fine then you'll be allowed to leaveSteve *******
Lucky Tembo a 4 month overstay is a 1 year ban, regardless of the "circumstances", however I do believe there is an appeal procedure

20,000bt fine and blacklisted for 1 year

You'll either pay the fine or get detained
