What should I do if my return flight is changed, causing an overstay on my Thai tourist visa?

Ling *****

Usually they waive the first 24 hours period but not 2 full days. Pay the fine 1,000 or do an extension for 1900. It's irrelevant why it happened for immigration.

@Jarek ***********

I know where you are coming from. When I was there last I saw a sign in McDonald's saying tomatoes and lettuce salad and when I ordered it they said sorry sir no more tomatoes left. I have never ever heard that anywhere else in the world. Why is there so little salads around?

Is it true that your money goes further in the Philippines compared to Thailand?

Ling *****

Everything is more expensive in the Philippines, especially food in restaurants and hotels, so there is no advantage of "getting more".

Can I extend my visa in Thailand for 3 months if I was there during COVID and then did a border run?

Ling *****

I had a 60 day tourist visa and I extended it last week. In and out the local immigration office within 30 minutes. Cost 1900 baht. If you need more after the extension then you need a border run.
