Your previous 90-day report will have the "next report" date on it. That's what you go by. This is nothing new

Daniel Brm. For simplicity, just look on the re-entry permit as keeping your last entry stamp alive. The date on the re-entry permit will be the same as the "permitted to stay" date on your entry stamp

Peter Forsgren. There are two angles to look at this. I agree that no-one should advise overstay irrespective of the length of time. However, you can weigh up the options. Traipsing out to the immigration office, spending 200-400 baht in fares, paying 1900 baht for the extension versus paying (possibly) 500 baht fine (depending on the mood of the immigration officer) and getting a notation in your passport. It's not a big red stamp, it's a small notation. A one day overstay will not affect any future visits to Thailand. So it's weighing up the pros and cons. Due to altered flight times it's happened to me twice (over ten years), both times I was not fined, but I always stress that one person's experience is not to be taken as the norm. On one occasion I could not attend immigration to effect an extension as it was a Sunday, so I went Monday. Again, a notation in the passport and no fine. Let me emphasise I agree with you to avoid if at all possible, but it's not the end of the world. Certainly more than one day I would definitely avoid.

Tony Cabello. Thai companies do make it easier because they know the exact wording to put on the certificate, plus there are no problems with overseas "do not travel" stipulations. However, unlike the dreaded OA insurance there is no requirement to buy from a Thai company.

Aren't the UK visa applications now online? I thought (could be wrong) I saw a post yesterday from UK resident saying he got his visa approval within 24 hours?

Paul Darby. I think those days are coming back soon!

Philip Houghton. 5000? And the rest!! How's this one charging 9800 for a covid extension which you can get yourself for 1900? They somehow filter out the stupid brain-dead farangs and spot the real stupid ones! 🤣

Jarkko Takamaa. No argument from me on that one! Expats will pay agents 20,000 baht and more for an agent and then will whine and cry about 500 baht entry tax!!
Bobby ********
John-Paul Riva. Yeah. Pay an agent thousands of baht to save yourself a couple of hours legwork once a year! Makes perfect sense 🤣🤣🤣
