In many cases it's actually the landlords responsibility to file this within 24 hours. I was in this situation not to so long ago and the IO told me this herself.

So yeah, the landlord covered the fee. He was a bit reluctant but he knew it was ultimately his fault.

There's way too much hype on here about not overstaying.

I lost my passport a few months ago and I needed to stay longer in Thailand to get my new passport. The officer actually said: "You can just overstay, not a big problem for short time. Pay 500b per day"

I'm not saying you should actively seek it but sometimes it IS the best choice in a bad situation.

But good to hear it went smoothly for you. :)

That will not count toward the 2 land border crossings anyway, since it was a visa entry.

Was this a multi entry or single? Are you able to talk with the airline directly and let them know you wish to fly somewhere closer? Are they asking you to pay for the ticket?

Thanks guys. The problem is, exchanging Rupiah to USD, then back to Baht or Rupiah is going to take a big bite out of me isn't it? I'd rather avoid going through that if it's likely they'll accept partial rupiah. :/

This is very comforting to know, thank you Frank!

Jessica Weissman I will also be there Wednesday morning. :) Looks like we're in the same boat if your last was in May. I've had a new passport since though, so that *might* benefit me.

Edit: Thank you

- I noticed a post from that mentions the 23rd as a closed date for most consulates. Would that likely apply to the one in Denpasar as well?

Jessica Weissman Interesting. I don't know if my answer would've had any significance but it was about the only question he asked me after "where are you from?"
