Will I be allowed to leave if I overstay? So based on the new COVID-19 extensions I will not be able to extend because I've had a Non-Imm visa at one point (I initially entered visa exempt). I had originally planned to leave in January, but my flight to Hong Kong was cancelled (but I wouldn't have been able to reenter anyways).
My current extension expires March 1st and I am in the process of obtaining a visa to enter Taiwan, but flights must be scheduled between March 17th - March 20th. I've seen posts saying that I will still be asked to leave in 7 days regardless (no exceptions?), so will applying for an extension even matter? I do not mind paying the overstay fine, but I'm worried I will be prevented from leaving and miss my flight.
TLDR : Answer Summary
If you overstay your visa in Thailand, you can typically still leave the country by paying a fine of 500 THB per day at the airport. It is advisable to visit the immigration office to inquire about potentially applying for an extension, especially if you have proof of a canceled flight and evidence of attempts to schedule a new flight within the required timeframe.
