Thai Immigration Holiday Closure May

ALL immigration offices in thailand will be closed the following days in May

Monday May 4th

Wednesday May 13th

Entry/Exit points to the country (airports/land crossings) do NOT close during holidays

Also if you have a stamp that expires the day that immigrations is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and not be fined for overstay (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport though). ..

Plan accordingly people !!!

What to do if you get a "bad" entry stamp?

"Bad Stamped" <- getting stamped in to thailand on an entry stamp that is wrong, (as in wrong entry/visa code, or for the wrong amount of time)

Surprisingly (or not) people get "bad stamped" into the country all the time.

This happens for a variety of reasons,

BUT

100% it's due to people not checking their passport before they walk away from passport control. 🙁

Now a couple things about bad stamps.

First; Immigration offices inside the country are NOT obligated to correct a bad entry stamp, although they sometimes will correct a bad air entry stamp, they will almost always decline to correct a bad land entry and instead send you to the border you stamped in at to get the stamp corrected.

Good news is; if you get bad stamped in from an air entry and you go back to the airport you can get the stamp corrected in a matter of minutes. Go to the customer service counter and they'll page an immigration officer to come up.

Second if you are bad stamped in for longer than you should have been stamped in for you are not allowed to stay that length of time.

Just because the stamp was wrong doesn't mean you get to stay if they gave you more time than you were supposed to get. You will get caught out and fined for overstay when you stamp out.

It is the responsibility of the passport holder to know how long they'll get stamped in for and to check that they got the correct entry stamp when they stamp in

If you have an eVisa from a thai consulate, we recommend you print out the PDF that they emailed you when they approved the visa <- that PDF actually IS your visa..

Hand it and your passport to the officer at passport control when you stamp in.

AND

check your entry stamp when they hand the passport back to you..

The time to correct bad stamps is when you're still standing at the stamp in counter in front of passport control rather than a couple weeks later when you finally notice you got stamped in wrong😲

Best of luck and safe travels to everyone 👍

Hi everyone, my flight by qatar at march 29 th is cancelled. my stamp in the passport valid until march 29th. I bought a new ticket with thai air on april 10th. I have been in immigration today to get extension for 30 days, ich got infiormation that iat my case i do’t need to do 30 days extra visa. female officer has announced that when i leave the country on april 10 i have to show immigration proof of my flight cancellation qatar was sending to me and i don't have to pay a fine for overstay. has anyone heard of such rules in this emergency situation? is that correct?

Could u make an EoS at the immigration for 30 days if u are overstayed?

Example Visa on arrival valid until today January 10th wanna apply an EoS on Monday?

Or must leave the country.

Passport stamped Jan 15. If I fly out on 15th is it an overstay

Uk passport arrived this morning 5.30am 22/10/25

Just noticed as I am racing to catch my connecting flight that I've only been stamped in until the 20/12/25. I've checked and that's only 59 days. My return flight is the 20/01/26 which with the 30 day extension leaves me a day short when I legitimately shouldn't be. What are my options? Going back to the desk isn't one ,as I'm now sat on my connection .

IMMIGRATION OFFICE CLOSURES OCTOBER

ALL immigration offices in the country will be closed the following days

Monday Oct 13th

Thursday Oct 23rd

If you have a stamp expiring on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the next day they are open you can get your extension like normal, will not be charged for overstay (you will get an overstay stamp but it will say fine waived).

Points of entry/exit to thailand do not close for holidays

I have recently been told that an 11 year old American who entered a little over a year ago on a tourist visa will be expedited and blacklisted for 1-5 years. I thought there was an exception for those under 15. Is that the case? Thanks for the support!

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

IMMIGRATION OFFICE CLOSURE FOR SONGKRAN

Remember people all immigration offices in the country close at 4:30PM today (Friday the 11th) and will not re-open until 8:30AM Thursday the 17th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day the immigration office is open you can get your extension like normal (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport but will not be fined)

I would hazard a guess and say that ALL offices in the country will be mobbed with people next Thursday when they re-open and if you don't have to go, DON'T..

Borders are open like usual, they don't close for holidays

Have a Safe & Happy Songkran everyone !!

3 months over yesterday, about to leave Thailand completely around 25th-26th.

Should I pay for the week or get fined for 3-4 days

+ Are there risks?
