ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

UPDATE ON FLIGHT CANCELLATION/OVERSTAY POLICY

It would appear that Immigrations came out with TWO options people can follow concerning flight cancellations/overstay

Option 1 - If you want to reschedule your flight and exit thailand,

You reschedule your flight, show up at the airport, show proof your flight was cancelled and it appears passport control will waive the overstay fine and let you stamp out to leave.

Option 2 - IF you want to get an in country "extension of stay" based on flight cancellation at the immigration office serving the area where you stay.

In order to do this option you have to get a letter from your embassy requesting an extension because this 30 day extension is based on the embassy request clause 2.8

You take the embassy letter, filled out TM7 (application for extension), proof your flight was cancelled and go to the immigration office

If you have an overstay from this situation you WILL BE CHARGED for it at 500baht a day, but once you clear the overstay fine you can apply for the 30 day 'embassy request' extension for 1900baht

At this time it would appear the only option for an in country extension that immigrations is allowing is via the embassy request clause ( clause 2.8 )
