Will I face issues returning to Thailand from Singapore after overstaying my visa by 5 days?
If I overstayed by 5 days will I have an issue returning from Singapore on a border run?
Answer summary
If you have only overstayed your visa by 5 days and have paid the associated fine, it is generally not expected to cause issues when you return from Singapore. The consensus among users is that a single overstay, especially if it has been resolved by paying the fine, typically should not impact your ability to re-enter Thailand. However, individual circumstances and past immigration history could be considered, so it's advisable to be aware of your entry record.

@David ********
you still have to pay the overstay fine even if she was to go get an extension so what would be the point in that? Cost less to do it at airport and just pay the 2500 fineJohn **********
@Raquel *******
on purpose, by accident or by ignorance, it makes no difference

assuming she makes it to the airport. Overstay is a really stupid ideaPhil ******
@David ********

thank you!Raquel ********
OPThank you for the info! I did try to make it before overstaying but went to the wrong place (immigration detention center) that was on a Friday, then Monday was a Thai holiday 🤦🏽♀️

@Raquel *******
immigration detention centre is where you go if you are caught on overstay. You really don't want to go thereRaquel ********
OPI’ll have to pay 20k baht?! 😱
John **********
@Raquel *******
no, but they can ask to see you have that amount in cash when returning. You will pay 2500 baht when you leave, 500 baht per day of overstay. It's really not a good idea to overstay for future reference, if the police come across you on overstay you will normally be deported, but just a fine if you reach the airport

@Raquel *******

@Raquel *******
no problem. U will. And will get a stamp to show it. But all is okRaquel ********
OP@Todd ********
on my way to the flight leaving thailand this is my first time in thailand and I’ve been here 65 days ….Todd *********
@Raquel *******
ok. Will have to pay 2500 baht and get stamped. Should be no issue for return at all if you have no bad history
Stuart *********
That would depend on your past history of entries I’d assume. A single overstay wouldn’t generally be an issue. You’ve paid the fine. Case closed.
