Hi my friend who isn’t on social media has a son who was previously refused entry because of visa issues ( late with extension dates , boarder trips ) and given a 12 month ban , this was in November 2024 , he wants to return on a tourist visa soon but he’s not so sure if his son will get allowed , what chance do people think he’s got ? Many thanks for those spending time replying , appreciate your time.

Overstay for children advice:

We’ve run into a bit of logistical situation regarding our 4yo passport- his passport just passed the 6 month validity mark (meaning still valid, but only 5.5 months left) and we were planning on leaving this week, however we were just notified that although the country we are going to only requires 3 months of validity, the airline requires 6 months and can refuse boarding. So we are left with 2 options- apply for emergency passport or apply for a new passport but my son will then be overstaying his time in Thailand. My husband still has 3 weeks left on his 30 day extension, and myself and the youngest could technically do a visa run, so it would only be the 4year old that is “overstaying”. The processing time at the US embassy is roughly 3 weeks so we can assume he’ll be around 3 weeks overstaying, give or take a week or so. Has anyone had experience with this? Will we be charged the 500baht/day for his overstaying or is that only charged to adults?

Thank you for the help!

i booked my new flight out on January 14. it looks like i was supposed to fly out before January 14. i am now facing a one day overstay. my mistake. Anyone who can inform ne what will happen when i arrive at the airport?

I entered Thailand Oct. 1 2025, the MyDTV app says my 90 day report is currently 4 days overdue. Does that mean I can file the 90 day report on Tuesday and still be within the 7 day grace period? ChatGPT says it needs to be done on Monday.

Anyone who has been let back in Thailand on new DTV after a history of border bounces (visa exempt)?

I am departing from Suvarnabhumi on the 7th January at 01:05 I will be checking in on the 6th of January my 60 day plus 30 day visa extension will finish on the 6th of January, my question is am I within my visa requirements or am I one day out and have to pay a penalty, thanks in advance

My friend got in a wreck a few months ago and was in the hospital he's close to 90 days overstay and is able to leave now but curious as to if the 1 year ban kicks in at day 89, day 90 or day 91 counting last day of visa and the last day in the country.

Hi. It seems now UK passport holders get a 60 day on arrival visa. If a visitor wishes to stay 62 days is it possible to extend the 60 days or will they need a 60 day tourist to extend? TIA

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.

Just a heads up to people who signed up for those "year long ED visa/extensions" where you don't go to school. <- Those are the ED visas from visa mill schools and agents that get you the visa/extension for a fee..

The gov't made a change in the way private schools report attendance and many MANY people found out that because they didn't attend class (or even log in for the online learning from the school) their extension was cancelled by immigrations.

More than a few people found out about this AFTER they went to either apply for another year of an ED visa via an agent/agency, when they went to get documentation to cancel their extension from their school or when they went to exit the country.

It sure caught a lot of people off guard leaving the country when passport control at the airport told them that their extension had been cancelled MONTHS ago, they owed 20K baht in overstay fines AND (if their cancellation was done more than 90 days before they were also banned from thailand for a year :O )

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. If you're on one of those year long ED visas thru a private school (or a private school running under a uni name) CHECK with your school that things are okay.

Last thing you want/need is to find out your ED visa/extension was cancelled without you knowing it and you're on overstay facing a possible ban of re-entering thailand
