What happens if I overstay my tourist visa in Thailand for one day?

@Richard *******

Not real evidence but read posts on here and other forums that they’ve caused issues. I seem to recall Vietnam and Russia were mentioned.

What happens if I overstay my tourist visa in Thailand for one day?

Stuart *********

Within 24 hours and leaving via an airport you’ll get an overstay stamp in your passport but they’ll usually waive the 500 baht fine.

The overstay stamp isn’t an issue for returning to Thailand but can cause issues in other countries when applying for a visa for there. They see the overstay stamp for Thailand and may it cause problems.

Can you wait 5 months after getting a DTV visa before entering Thailand?

Stuart *********

Depends on the embassy where you apply. Approx 10k baht or equivalent unless you’re in NZ where it’s 40k.

That depends on the embassy you use. Should be around the 10k baht or maybe a couple of thousand more - unless you’re applying in NZ where it’s approx 40k.

Do I need to pay upfront for a 6-month Muay Thai course for my 5-year visa in Thailand?

Stuart *********

You pay for a 6 month course. You don’t have to do a course each year.

You pay at time of application. If rejected for whatever reason you lose that application fee and have to start over.

What is the best visa option for a 50-year-old German traveler with a condo in Pattaya making multiple trips to Thailand each year?

Stuart *********

DTV probably your best option.

Changing passports is irrelevant. Whether same country or different country passports they are all linked via biometrics in the immigration database.

Where can I find the website for the 90-day report in Thailand, and can it be done online? Do I need a new TM30 every time I travel overseas and return?

Stuart *********

Both questions will be office dependent. You may get away with the 1st 90 day report online but you probably won’t.

Some offices don’t need TM30 if you’re returning to your main residence. Most do.

Jomtien require it seasoned for 2 months prior to application.
