I just realized that I overstayed my 60 days. In fact, today makes 7 days over and I just arrived to Koh Phangan. I am trying to weigh my option on the most economical solution for myself.

Has anyone been stopped at the gate on the island and told to pay the fine before exiting the country?

Or do you only pay the fine when you're also getting an extension? I'm so curious.

Thanks for the support.

Hi there,

we have a daughter who is in overstay due to hospitalisation, she is less than 2 yrs old.

She has to do a non o visa linked to her mum visa (she has work permit).

I am wondering if my daughter could do a visa run, via tachilek or lao border, possibly in the same day.

I have been told that in Lao that wont be possible as we might need at least one or more days to stay.

I am not sure if they will allow us to do in one day just presenting her situation.

Anybody knows how to deal with it the quicker?

If my 60 days visa ends on the 7th but my flight to leave is on the 8th is that okay? Or do I need to extend?

I’m on a Non-Ed Education Visa through MFU university (chiang rai). It expires each Nov. 1 if not extended. There is a standard process for obtaining the correct documents via student services which is usually pretty straightforward (I’m still studying full time) but today they told me that all of a sudden there’s a delay in services because of tourist high season and I won’t receive my documents until 7-10days (normally 3-5).

So, I guess I will have to overstay 3-5 days and pay the fines. It’s my first time encountering overstay.

Anyone know if this poses future difficulties for me regarding immigration? I’m assuming yes.

Just wanted to give some information regarding the 60 day married to a Thai extension while here in a 60 day exempt stamp.

As I was unsure if I was going to be able to get this extension after the 30 day one. I asked the immigration office when I was there last month and she said it wouldn’t be a problem just to make sure my wife was there when I applied. I already knew this as I’ve done this many times in the past.

I got to IT Square around 6:30am and I was first in line. I did book an appointment for 8:30am but it really doesn’t matter there because you still have to sit in the queue, which makes no sense.

After the first set of immigration officers looked over my paper work about 5 times, almost as if they were looking for a reason to deny me. Little do they know, I’ve been through this many times and I’ve learned from my past mistakes. I have everything ready the day before, forms filled out, picture, photo copies etc.

After they finally gave me the queue number, I went into the main office area. Again, my paper work is looked over multiple times, just looking for a reason to refuse or make me do something over again. Once again, I’m well prepared.

I will say this, they went over everything with a fine tooth comb. I’d advise that you have copies and the originals for everything. She even pointed out that my old passport number was on one of the wedding forms we filled out back when we registered our marriage. I explained we got married and I had to get a new passport since. No problems there. She then went over our rental agreement, which I’m not on in the first place. She then asked my wife a couple of things and after all that I was told to go sit in the waiting for passport section.

We were in at 8:30am out at 8:50am. It pays to be there nice and early.

Hope this helps someone.

Parents who applied for the Visa for their children...

Our 2 year old son clearly doesn't have proof of funds, or access to our bank accounts, was this an issue when you started the visa process?

How did you work around this?

I need some guidance. (American Citizen)

- I arrived to Thailand by way of a 60 day e-Visa in April.

- I visited immigration once in person to extend this an additional 30 days.

- After 30 days, I did a border run and re-entered on a 60 day stamp, which is soon coming to expiration.

It's now time to extend again, but I am confused. I have been told that I can just go to immigration and they'll extend for an extra 30 days. I've also been told that I need to leave and return?

Can someone clarify? It's near impossible to search the rules now when half the results are related to DTV or changing land border crossing rules for Laos, etc.

I just want to know what I need to do to legally stay at least an extra 30 days. After that time I'll likely ramble on somewhere else.

Has anyone been granted their DTV with a previous over stay ?

I understand somebody overstaying months or years -

My previous overstay was 3 days paid the 1500 baht fine at the airport -

Is there any leniency around a few days ?

Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone might be able to answer a question about applying for the DTV visa. I have all the relevant paperwork to apply, but after checking my eligibility at [members only], I see there may be an issue regarding overstays. I have overstayed my visa in Thailand once, for 20 days total (due to delays in my new passport arriving from the UK). Does this effect my eligibility, or are the "long overstays" mentioned those of 90 days or more? I tried calling the Thai consulate in Savannakhet, but they weren't able to provide any information over the phone.

Hello all.

If a non b visa holder has not done a 90 day check in, but wishes to now end the visa, would that person be allowed to exit the country,and return on a tourist visa? Would there be any issues regarding overstay even though the visa is still valid but the 90 day check in wasn't done?
