I just described the particular situation. Coz there were contradicting advice. And no, my friend doesn’t plan to work in Thailand in the future. He may arrive on a tourist visa though.

@James *******

right, higher quantity of recent cases would be better for the statistics)

@Benjamin *****

thank you for the information!

At least we know how it works in reality nowadays, when someone leaves the country.

@Benjamin *****

correct

@Benjamin *****

no overstay stamp in the passport. Just departure stamp.

Hi everyone, here’s the update. Thanks to the moderators for reopening the post. Hope they will not block me in the group for this update ;))

But my friend successfully passed the passport control without any overstay payment. No one asked any question. I learned that his colleague was in a similar situation 6 months ago, and also successfully exited the country without any fine. Well, we don’t know what may happen if they try to enter the country again in the future, but for now everything was smooth.

@James *******

Thank you!

@Benjamin *****

Thank you for your advice anyway!

I guess I will be able to post an update on the situation later this week.

@Benjamin *****

okay, I just wanted to double check.

@Benjamin *****

I know that in theory, but technically people say that everyone’s case is closed when they leave the country, if there was no criminal offense.
