Will I incur an overstay if my flight leaves 15 minutes after my visa expires?

Visa Rules Overstay Thailand Immigration Flight Connections Visa Expiration

Nov 25, 2023

ORIGINAL POSTER

Quick question, my visa expires on 2nd. 

I fly from Chiang mai to Bangkok on the 2nd in the evening where I then get my connecting flight to the UK. 

The flight from Bangkok to the UK however departs at 00:15am on the 3rd. Meaning I am now in Thailand 15 minutes longer than I am allowed. Does this mean I will be given an overstay? 

Or will the fact that passport control will have already stamped my passport as “departed” by the time my plane leaves be ok?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about a potential overstay due to a connection flight leaving shortly after their visa expires. They are reassured that as long as they are stamped out of Thailand before midnight, they will not incur an overstay.
