Do what Robert suggests. Will it be a problem? All depends, if u get caught by the police after you have supposed to have left then yes it is a problem and there is a fine, detention, deportation and minimum 1 year ban.

Now will u get caught in those 2 days of overstay🤷‍♂️

I thought a 1 year ban was for over stayers of 90 days or more?

@Jake *****

that is if you surrender at airport immigration as you leave. A quick google has produced this. If you are caught on overstay after 1 day it’s a 5 year ban

At the moment it is known that the Thai Elite Visa and the Thai Consulate in Penang Malaysia looking for overstays in the past en may refuse applications.

What others will do in the future is what we will learn in the future, advice is to always avoid to go on overstay as there are options enough to get a legal stay.

I came here on december 3rd on a 60 day tourist visa then extended for 30 days, then got another extension of 60 days based on marriage now I'm on a 60 day covid extension and was told i will need to leave the country on the 25th of july. Do you think i could get another short extension as my preferred flight would be on the 27th or have I used up all my extention options already? Would love to do it legally but not sure what they could offer me at this time

You can apply for a new Extension of Stay, get the application not approved and 7 days to leave the country.

Show your ticket out at application and explain you like to avoid the overstay stamp and fines.
