Since Thailand is talking again about changing their 60 day policy to 30 days , I’d end up doing a 30 + 30 day extension when travelling there later this year.
Are there any repercussions for overstaying by 1 or 2 days ?
Looking at flights and with my dates it’s a better deal to stay the 61 or 62 days.
I have an overstay on my passport from last year - it should have been a day, but due to flooding and the immigration office being closed, it became 8 days. Has anyone had experience of getting a DTV specifically in London, with an overstay on their passport?
Just been informed my return home flight out of Thailand has been cancelled and I must reschedule.
I have been here for 60 days visa waiver and extended that another 30 days.
My departure was scheduled for the day before the last date on my 30 day extension's passport stamp.
Can I stay until midnight on the date of that stamp or must I depart BEFORE the date on the stamp, in order to avoid an "overstay" please?
Thanks, in anticipation.
UPDATE: 24th June 2025. It has been confirmed that departure must occur by midnight on the visa expiry date stamp so that date means "visa valid up to AND INCLUDING such-and-such a date".
I have an update, being that I attended at the Immigration Office but, despite the unavoidable circumstances (being beyond my control) their policy disallows them from extending my visa, even by a week.
What they CAN (and will) do, however, is allow me to apply for a visa/extension, on the last day of my current visa only (not before) and then DENY that visa/extension and stamp my passport with "VISA DENIED. PASSPORT HOLDER MUST LEAVE THAILAND WITHIN 7 DAYS" (to effectively afford me a further 7 days of execution).
Do I REALLY want a "Thai visa application denied" stamp in my passport?
Hello all, I made a huge mistake of overstaying and immigration police made me get a flight out of the country and essentially banned me for 6 months. My question is since I’m moving on this day, how do I use this information (and passport stamp) to get my security deposit back on my apartment?
Thank you all for being so helpful as this is an advice group 💜
Just a little word to the wise about something that happened to me.
I am renting a house in Ban Chang for about 3 months now. I have a retirement visa.
So a couple days ago a couple immigration officers from Rayong IO knocked on my door and asked for my passport. OK.......no worries on my part. I know I am all good in all regards.
Long story short...........the were looking for the previous renter (a gentleman from England). They said he had overstayed his visa.
Take from this what you will. It showed me that Thai Immigration Rayong is on the job, and ya best keep things up to snuff.
Has anyone been successful getting a DTV visa with a previous overstay on there file/ application n passport?
My children have 30 day overstay because there is no fine or re-entry restrictions for under 15years old. But im wanting to apply for dependent DTV visa for them but not sure if the previous overstay will affect this. Australia Embassy
