Why was my girlfriend fined so much for overstaying her visa in Thailand?

Thank you one and all

Good luck to the O/P

Glad it worked out

We are done

To be completely honest I have never seen someone get a 7 day extension denied stamp then not leave during that 7 days.

They might look at it as you bought a 7 day get out of thailand stamp but you didn't get out, so you were charged overstay from the original expiration date of the stamp before the 7 days

Jim she ignored the THAI IMMIGRATION ORDER TO LEAVE THAILAND. She was granted the 7 days extension BUT MUST LEAVE THAILAND WITHIN 7 DAYS.

Sadly....You did not help by paying the OVERSTAY fine. As it may see her DENIED ENTRY the next time you invite her to stay with you again.

looks like she got that 7 day "application for extension not approved" stamp which gave her until July 1st and then stamped out the 31st.

Seems like they charged her from the 24th of June (the day she applied for that stamp)

UNLESS if you overstay that 7 day get out of thailand stamp you are assessed overstay from the date you applied for the stamp. because that's the only way to make the 37 days they wrote on the stamp for overstay work out

Why didn't she say anything to them at the border when she was clearing the overstay?

Just curious why would she spend 1900baht on a 7 day stamp then stay another month? That doesn't really make much sense 😕
