Hi everyone

So im on a tourist visa and it runs out on the 2nd of may, my flights on the third though. Will they still charge me overstay???
Answer summary
The consensus is that if you have a flight scheduled for the day after your tourist visa expires, you may not be charged an overstay fee, particularly if the overstay is under 24 hours. However, if your flight is canceled, you should approach Thai immigration with proof to seek a short extension.

If the flight is cancelled,

...go to Thai immigration...

Show them the cancelled flight ticket and seek extension of stay. At the least they will grant you 7 days...

Or if the Thai government extends the amnesty into May, you need to do nothing.

Good Luck. Hope all goes well with your flight.

If it is cancelled you may have to request an extension with immigration. If you haven't requested your 1st 30 day extension already you will have to request an emergency COVID extension will require a few documents.

If you're on the 0215 Qatar daily departure, you will clear immigration on the date in your passport anyway, so there's nothing to think about

As a rule when you fly out with an overstay of under 24 hours they waive the 500baht overstay fine and only put a small thai language stamp in your passport near the triangular exit stamp
