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.

Hello all, I made a huge mistake of overstaying and immigration police made me get a flight out of the country and essentially banned me for 6 months. My question is since I’m moving on this day, how do I use this information (and passport stamp) to get my security deposit back on my apartment?

Thank you all for being so helpful as this is an advice group 💜

Hey Guys, if I have overstayed in Thailand for a day (reason: miscalculated the date), is it still possible to apply for DTV?

Just a little word to the wise about something that happened to me.

I am renting a house in Ban Chang for about 3 months now. I have a retirement visa.

So a couple days ago a couple immigration officers from Rayong IO knocked on my door and asked for my passport. OK.......no worries on my part. I know I am all good in all regards.

Long story short...........the were looking for the previous renter (a gentleman from England). They said he had overstayed his visa.

Take from this what you will. It showed me that Thai Immigration Rayong is on the job, and ya best keep things up to snuff.

Hello, i am currently in Thailand and my passport is almost full (i still have some little space left on 2 or 3 pages, enough space for the small stamp of visa exempt entries but 0 blank pages left).

I plan to go to China and then go home from China. But my flight for China is on the same day as my last day allowed by my visa exemption in thailand, which means if i am not allowed to board in, i will have to take a flight the day after to go home, and therefore will get an overstay of 1 day.

I really want to avoid the overstay, i stay in thailand usually 6 months per year and i dont want to get more hassle in the future because of 1 day overstay.

Do you know if its possible in Bangkok to check in online and to through the immigration 1 day before the departure? And then to wait in the boarding area…?

Ps: 2 months ago i have been to China i already had 0 page left on my passport and it was ok at the immigration but the airline did not check… i dont need a visa for china and the stamp is very small, but now i really have not much space on my passport.

Thank you.

Hello I have a question regarding police clearance certificate.

I was dismissed from the school and when I ask about my visa status, they don’t give clear answer. I am planning to leave Thailand this week. And I need police clearance certificate for my another country visa.

I want to know if my visa is canceled and I have been overstay, is there any affect on my police clearance certificate. Do they recheck my visa status?

Overstay question

I had a work permit and an agent throughout the WP process. Year 2 of WP, I had to go to Chamchuri Square on my own for the 90-day reporting (agent stopped holding my hand). I mixed up the reporting deadline dates and overstayed one day. Went the following day, paid the 2000 baht fine and everything was fine from then on (yes, I got the black mark in my passport, but have since renewed my passport and it's not in the new passport).

Would this affect my DTV application?

Ok. So as you all know immigration offices are closed until Thursday 17th. For many offices they will be absolutely chaotic on Thursday. If you can avoid going to immigration on that day then please do so.

If your entry stamp or extension finishes between now and then, then go on the 17th and be prepared to wait for a long time. You won’t be fined because of closure but will get an overstay stamp.

Friday will probably be crazy too because of the fallout of the 5 day closure.

Going to immigration early is usually a good idea for most extensions but this week if you really don’t need to go then just don’t.

If your extension or entry stamp is after the 20th then just do everyone a favour and avoid immigration.

I have no idea on the policies for all the immigration offices, but you may well find that some will turn you away if you don’t need immediate services.
