Talk loud and slowlyi

@Martin ****

did i say he'd be blacklisted? No, I didn't. He is more than welcome to pay an overstay fee at the airport if he wishes. Will the stress of dealing with that and any consequences of being stopped by the police in that short period of time between visa expiring and departure be something the OP is fine with? Only he can say. Financial saving of paying a couple of days overstay vs spending a few minutes getting a tourist visa to cover his entire stay that will guarantee no possible issues with boarding in the first place, to me, isn't worth it. Seems like a lot if risks for a £10 saving

@Martin ****

if you'd like to point out anything I've said that is incorrect then please go ahead. And what do my current whereabouts have to do with it (i assume you meant live)?

@Martin ****

try explaining that to the police if you're unfortunate enough to get stopped in that period of overstay. Paying £30 each in advance to get the tourist visa will give ease of mind and avert any other issues like not being allowed boarding in the first place

You could apply for tourist evisa which will give you 60 days. You've plenty of time to sort it out.

Standard was fine for an o-a visa so likely the same

@Stuart ********

but he's Scottish

Yes

@Nami *******

was this a visa agent or somebody at immigration?

if he's transferring Aussie dollars directly to baht in a Thai bank account, the "transfer" fee is the conversion charge. If he exchanges the the dollars to Thai baht in his wise account there will be no transfer fee but he will have paid the conversion fee already
