Hi, I was on an ED visa extension of stay (4 years and waiting to graduate)which finished on the 26 of August, so I did not get told by my uni that I needed to cancel it at immigration so I came back on a non exempt visa. Now I've been told that I'm on overstay and waiting for the letter to cancel my ED visa. What are the implications and what are my options. I will be going to immigration on Thursday to cancel my ED visa. What can I expect and what should I plan for. I left the country to go onto a tourist/non exempt visa but been told its not valid. I'm South African and not sure what my options are. Please advise of possible.

Hi all, so here's my situation...on September 14, which is a Sunday, my visa runs out. If I could get it extended on that day, all would be fine for my exit from Thailand on October 12. However, because it is a Sunday, I either have to get it extended on the Friday, and then be a day or 2 late when leaving the country or be 1 day late for the extension. My thoughts are it would be best to be a day late asking for an extension but would like to know what would happen either way as I don't want it marked on my passport if avoidable.

Hello

I unfortunately think that I know the answer but I'm asking anyway just in case.

I have to leave Thailand for a family emergency. I might come back after my visa expires (non O im retirement).

Is there something I can do ?

Could immigration grant a delay if I can justify of a very good reason ?

I have a friend who is 19, and he's here in Thailand with his father. His passport is absolutely full of stamps because he used to go to school in Gibraltar when he lived in Spain.

The problem now is that he's overstayed his visa, and he wasn't able to get an extension because his passport is literally out of space for any more stamps.

The extension was due on the 29th of July, and now it's the 11th. So we're looking at the best route to get him a new passport and to help him renew his visa and extend it before the end of the month.

We’re also considering just paying the overstay fine and then having him fly out of the country and return to Thailand on a tourist visa again.

In Chiang Mai, so thinking Flight to Vietnam.

But whats the most rapid way to get a new passport with space

Hello.

I had a none o visa that I extended by means of a re entry permit when I left Thailand 2 months ago.

That gave me to the original 90 day entry stamp 6th August.

Now I’m back in Thailand, my employer has changed my flight to leave after this date now.

Can I extend my stay at immigration?

I don’t want a 7 day overstay stamp TBH.

Good morning,

My son will overstay 4 days his 60 day tourist visa and needs a 30 day extension.

Can he do it at any immigration office in Bangkok ?

Thks

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?

Not if it can be helped, I feel.

Has anyone stayed over the 90 days without reporting, then flown out and back without issues?

Urgent Information Needed Regarding DTV Visa – Vientiane Thai Embassy

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask you a question:

1. Could I leave and re-enter Laos while waiting the interview?

I would like to go to Vietnam just for a day because I don't want to overstay in Laos.

Do you have any experience with that? I am not so sure that it is allowed or not.

Thank you so much for your time and sharing.
