Will a 3-day overstay in Thailand cause issues for my next visit?

Anyone on here been on overstay and been banned ?

The general rule is one day overstay is a freebe. Two days will get an inquiry as to why. 3 days will raise an eyebrow and a good reason will be required. A week overstay will crank up the machine. The penalties are clearly laid out on your countries Thai embassy website.

500 Baht per day fine at the airport. We were 5 days late (because of Covid hospital wouldn’t release us) and paid 6,000 baht leaving for Tokyo. They give you a red departure stamp.

21 days overstayed one and more times, always back to Thailand without any problem

Kontakt immigrasjon når du ankommer, og fortell at du har tre dager overstay, betal 500 baht pr dag, og alt ordner seg. Gjorde dette selv for noen år tilbake.

Drive to Laos and get an extra month

No my friend stay more than 18 days and paid fine about baht nothing to worry about.

No I did it

If you get into trouble at the airport, just tell the immigration officer, that someone at FB told you that it would not be a problem. I’m sure the officer will understand 😉

If you apply for an elite visa it can be a problem. They can reject you even for one day. They stating that if you have overstay, don’t apply for the elite visa.

Nah, processing and customer service like no other at the immigration overstay desk. I think they hand out mints now too

No, cost you 1,500 B

Note of overstay on passport

No repercussions next visit

No, just pay 500 baht penalty per day

Mix up with my visa. 30 day overstay 500 thb per day paid thb fine. No problems from it. AUGUST 2023.

I had one day overstay last week was fine did not even charge me

If it was the first time, no. They will just charge you 500 baht per day. After the second time you could get a problem with some types of long term visa in the future.

In Singapore if you overstay by a day, they treat you like your a criminal, but that's Singapore for you.

Three day overstay will cost you 1,500 baht. Visa extension will cost you 400 baht more. Not worth the hassle, just get an extension.

As someone has mentioned, why not abide by their rules. We would be complaining here about overstayed.

Not if you don't have your passport checked at some police stop and if it's your only overstay.

I agree with most comments, I have a Thai partner and 2 children, I would never risk anything that could stop me from returning to them. Even though your over stay is unintentional, Play it safe and abide by there laws.

Why overstay 3 days?

No

Yes

nope

Of course there is a history of overstaying in Thailand and having to pay fines per day at immigration…. But if you apply to extend your visa, there will definitely be no problem.

Was 500 baht per day a few years ago but might have changed

Yez

For Thailand immigration purposes?Probably not (unless as already mentioned, you get caught by police on an overstay, in which case that could be a very serious problem indeed.)

For travel to other countries, that might also cause a problem. The overstay will be noted on your passport and could be cause for denial of entry for that other country (I had a sister in law, overstayed in Korea 1 day and was refused entry into Japan, was held at the airport immigration ‘jail’ and had to immediately book a flight out.)

You do you, but personally I would pay for the extension, or if that wasn’t possible I would rebook my flight to make sure I had no follow-on issues … if I had just mistakenly overstayed, I personally would spill coffee on my passport and apply for a new one … having an overstay in your passport is just not worth the chance.)

Probably not but make sure never to do it again... any other issues and they could easily turn you away

No

It depends.

The fact you are asking...listen to your gut, or make a phone call to immigration.

Think you know the answer to that 🤔

I wouldn't risk it

I was on an overstay for 2 days as I was in hospital. I paid the fine at the airport. I told the lady at immigration and she said no problem. I asked her when I come back to Thailand next year will I have a problem. and she said no.

Pay 15 dollars each day. Then on your record.

No not at all I had a problem with flights at one time and missed it I was ok if I got on flight but by the time I got one I was 3 days over stay I told them at airport and went to immigration at airport it was just a fine and no problems with coming back .no black marks at all ..so you will be ok

Why tempt providence just get an extension?

Do it and let us know if it made a problem, so we all can be extra careful 🤣

Short answer, yes

Are you planning to overstay or are you in the midst of an overstay now? If currently not yet on overstay, it would be best for you to go to your local immigration office, pay the 1900 and get an extension. Unless you’re already on an extension.

Not unless you get red overstay stamp in your passport

No

Can you recall a time where breaking the law helped you?

3 days OV - you will simply pay the fine at airport during your passport checking. that's all. Don't even worry for your next visit. And don't listen much scumbags comments here put you in stress for nothing.

Thailand has no rules. You can come and go as you like. Stay as long as you like. And just ignore what rules there are... NOT

No way

@Egil *********

agree with

@Brandon ***********

. My opinion only but immi is tightening up on overstay atm. Next month might be different

I got several overstay over 18 years, one time even 21 days, payed the fine and all ok, never blacklisted

NEVER overstay or break any other laws in a country you are guest in.

Get a extension or even better, get a tourist visa before leaving home.

On another note, some other countries may see this stamp and question or deny entry based on that overstay.

I have seen it first hand with someone 3 day overstay here denied entry into Singapore.

Best never to have an overstay in your passport.

No, you pay overstay at the airport. 500 baht per day. My neighbour does it every year. But never more than 4 days. Never a problem.

Just put a 1000 baht in your passport at immigration. At the airport Problem solved

Possibly

If something were to happen whilst you were on your three day overstay like a stop at a police checkpoint or you having an accident or anything then it could have serious repercussions. Getting caught on overstay could lead to getting sent to court, then being fined for breaking the law and being sent to an immigration detention centre and then being deported from Thailand and banned for 5 years.

If you manage to get to the airport it’s just a fine for the number of days overstay (as long as it’s under 90 days) but why risk the potential?

3 days overstay is 1,500. An extension is 1,900 baht. 400 baht difference is a whole lot of peace of mind.

Maybe yes. Maybe no.

Every entry is at the discretion of the immigration officer you're standing in front of. They'll look at many different factors and previous overstay is one of them.

If you've been gone for a long time and haven't spent a lot of time in Thailand recently, probably no issues.

Probably.

No

Small fine at most
