Hi, looking for advice here. I have a 60 day tourist visa from the UK Thai Embassy, I landed 6th of September. My Airline have since sent me a text and email to tell me my return flight has been cancelled and changed it to 2 days later than the original which was a stay of 60 days but now I will be 2 days over the 60 day visa limit. I have kept the original return flight ticket and have the email and ticket confirming the cancellation and new dates of the return flight will that be sufficient on exit or will I still get an overstay fine. I know it is only 500 baht per day but this was the Airline who cancelled my return flight that was within the time limit. TIA

Work Permit/Extension OF Stay:

So when I leave the country without a re entry permit, my extension of stay in automtically cancelled, right?

My school will cancel my work permit/extension of stay hopefully the day I leave or the day after.

Say I booked a return flight into Thailand on the same day and tried to enter on a Visa Exempt but my school hadn't cancelled my work permit yet......

I wouldn't have a problem, right?

The problem only occurs if you are trying to get a new work permit but my school would cancel the work permit the next day anyway

Apologies if this has been asked before: I arrive on the 15th and leave on the 15th 2 months later. I guess that means I am 1-3 days over the 60 day limit for the new free visa. What are my options? (I will be mostly in Chiang Mai area and cannot change my flights). Thanks again

Hello expats. I could use a bit of insight I guess? I am trying to figure out why immigration charged my gf so much for an overstay. The law states $500 baht per day. The last day on her visa was 1 July, she crossed the border on 31 July.

By my count 15k baht, but they clearly wrote her fine was $18,500. Why the extra $3,500?

Hi all! I just realized I made the visa faux pas of booking my flight out of Thailand for 1 day after my visa expires. I found superb post on overstaying in this group by Tod Daniels (THANK YOU, TOD!) that says I should be fine since I'm flying out and will overstay for less than 24 hour. BUT that post was written in 2019. Is the guidance still the same (copied below)?

From Tod in 2019: As a rule people on a single days overstay who are flying out will have the 500 baht fine waived and only get a small stamp next to their departure stamp saying "overstay under 24 hours fine waived", however exiting by a land crossing on any overstay always gets the fine.

At this time having an overstay stamp in your passport is NOT a negative thing as far as re-entering the country or getting a visa to thailand at any thai consulate OTHER than Penang which will not issue a tourist visa to people with an overstay stamp in their passport.

Thank you in advance!! 🙏

Hello, I went with my American friend to Samut Prakan Immigration to extend her visa free entry for 30 days. After handing over her passport to the officer we learned that the immigration officer at Suvarnabhumi gave her the wrong stamp which gives her 90 days instead of the expected 30 days as pictured below. The person at the desk in Samut Prakarn told us to go to the airport to get it fixed and insisted that she cannot actually stay for 90 days.

So I have two questions, is this stamp valid for 90 days? If not, where would we need to go in the airport to get the correct stamp?

Thank you in advance.

You guys will love this one. I extended my visa in jomtiem and they put the wrong date and now I'm at the airport. It should be September 19th and I didn't look when they gave me my passport back. So should I argue that I only owe him 1500 baht since the tops stamp shows the 20th? The bottom snap shows the 19 th
