It has happened to me twice. The first time I contacted immigration in Bangkok with a few days to spare . I was told that the fee to extend would be more than the fine for a one day overstay and not to worry about it . As it was , they just made a note on my exit stamp and I was not fined.
The same thing happens 18 months and a couple of visits later , with the same result. On my last visit the immigration officer made mention of the note on my previous visa visa stamp and told me sternly not to do it again.
Donald Campbell can the re-entry permit be purchased if you are already in Thailand on an extension ( marriage) . My wife , a dual Thai/Australian national and I are in the process of winding up our business and will be retiring there later this year.

If she has changed her name from the name on her birth certificate (a surprisingly common thing in Thailand)she will need , certified , translated copies of the change of name documents and the originals.
This was the case when my wife and I married 16 years ago . It may have changed since then.
Because it is a corrupt , dangerous shit hole. An acquaintance spent over a year in a hell hole prison on trumped up charges before being released without conviction . All because he refused a bribe . It just about destroyed him .There is no rule of law . Thailand has its issues , but it is a civil rights paradise compared to Cambodia.
There is a DTV accredited Thai cultural studies course in Chiangmai, with a significant Thai language component that I was looking into. I decided to go with a marriage visa instead.
