@David *********

strictly speaking according to law, you need the original with you. Yes, I also carry a copy, but I know someday I will come across an overeager cop looking for tea-money

, then still passport needed, law says Thai citizens must have their ID card on them at all times and foreigners must have their passports on them at all times

You need your passport, work permit is not official proof of identification

Will renewing my visa two days late due to holidays cause issues?

Riaan **********

Never a good idea to have an overstay stamp in your passport, can make entry into other countries difficult. I would be very worried about being asked by Police for your passport in those 2 overstay days, then it is off to a Thai jail, and a 5 year ban

Riaan **********

when I showed them the onward ticket, they asked for the receipt as well, which I obviously couldn't provide, so they wouldn't accept it

I also tried in in the past, and Qatar airways asked for a receipt with the ticket, so it didn't work for me
