Will getting a new passport help me avoid scrutiny from Thai immigration after multiple overstays and a ban?

Matt *******

A lot depends on who is working at the airport that day.

Some will let you in, some won’t.

I have never overstayed because i want a clean slate

Technology is getting sharp

@Rajeev *******

I repeat again 1900 baht is the fee for a 30 day extension at immigration

12 months extension is far more

It’s pure Mathematics

You can abuse me all you like. I really don’t care

But don’t tell me that a 12 month extension is legitimate for 2000 Baht

12 months is a lot longer than 30 days….
