Hello! Does anyone know what if I overstay in Thailand within 1 day? My DTV requires me go to outside Thailand on 2 April. But I’m gonna have a meeting on 3 April. Could I leave in the afternoon on 3 April? I’m afraid of bad records on my passport 🥹 thank you

Entered Thailand on 5th November with a UK passport. Left on 6th January and was fined for two days overstay. Unintentional just a minor administrative issue.

I plan to return on 1st April until 4th April for a tattoo and online work. I have onward travel booked. Likelihood of being granted entry?

I assume it will be no problem but just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation with the current restrictions being tightened. TIA.

Hello, our flight has been delayed by one day and we will have an overstay. Do you think we should go to immigration in Phuket or directly to the airport showing our Emirates documents with the one-day flight change? Thank you in advance.

Hello

Are the overstay fine waved and 30 days extension due to middle east war still a thing as of today?

Where can I find updates to know if it’s still on or finished.

thank you

If I stay 61 days in Thailand on a 60 day Visa exempt, what will happen at the airport when I depart on the 61st day? I've made a mess of my airline booking. Would I be best to apply for the 30 day extension at the immigration office? Trying to do what is most cost effective. Changing airline ticket would cost the most I think....

Thanks for all your advice. I'm about to post another question!

I am posting in this group hoping for some guidance regarding a previous brief visa overstay in Thailand and my intention to return this year under the correct long-stay visa category. Hopefully the DTV soft power visa Thai language model.

I have had a close personal connection to Thailand since 2010, when I met my late wife of 11 years, Saifon. Over many years I travelled regularly between the United Kingdom and Thailand to spend time with her and her family. Saifon also lived here with me in the UK for seven years, where we built a business and a home together with our two dogs, Lucky and Harry.

After Saifon returned back to stay in Thailand around 4 years ago with lucky and harry who we flew over to be with her. We purchased land and built our home on Koh Larn Island near her family. This property has since been signed over to Saifons mother after her passing. We had just started the process of adding my name to the ownership deeds but saifon became to ill to travel to the city hall building after our first visit to begin the process. Saifons mother has told me we can still add my name to the deeds but I need to be in the country to do so.

Due to work commitments in the UK, I continued travelling back and forth on just tourist visas with extensions with a few visa runs to Cambodia as was allowed at the time and therefore I did not previously apply for a long-stay visa because it wasn’t necessary.

Sadly, Saifon was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in April and passed away in October 2025. During that period I was caring for her, I unfortunately overstayed my permitted stay by approximately one or two days due to the immigration office being closed over the weekend and national holiday on the Monday when I was extending for a further 30 days. I was still granted the extension minus the few days I overstayed. This was entirely unintentional and occurred during an extremely distressing time. I complied with all required procedures at the time.

I now wish to return to Thailand for a longer period in order to:

• Maintain close ties with my late wife’s family

• Help care for our two dogs, who are currently being looked after by my mother-in-law

• Spend time managing matters relating to our property in Koh Larn

• Enrol in a recognised Thai language school to improve my Thai speaking ability

I believe I meet the financial requirements for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and would like to enrol in a 12 month rolling program in a Thai language school. I would be grateful for any advise on whether this would be the most appropriate visa category in my circumstances, or whether another long-stay visa would be more suitable.

Additionally, I would be very grateful if anyone could advise:

• Whether my previous short overstay may affect my ability to apply for a long-stay visa.

• The correct department or email address to which I should direct this enquiry.

Thank you very much

Hi,

just two questions about DTV:

You are allowed to stay 180 days a year and 1 year out of 5 you can extend to 360 days, right?

1. Do a lot of you guys stay longer then 180 days every year and do a visa run then? Does it work? Is it a overstay then?

2. To officially extend to 360 days you need to go to immigration? Any formular 📋 for that?

Thanks in advance

When applying for the DTV do they check your immigration status? If you stayed too long in a country and apply for the DTV from that country will that be a problem? Or is it better to just leavet he country you overstayed, go back to your home country or another country and apply for the DTV?
