I have a friend who has a Thai company, she is director, and her work permit expired and was not renewed back in july 2022. She has a stamp in the passport which shows the visa is good till march 2023. We know that the visa is linked to the work permit and technically the visa in the passport is expired. Is there a way to avoid 1) an overstay fee of 20,000 baht and 2) not allowed re-entry for 1 year? (these are the potential worst case senario rules which could be enforced when leaving Thailand). If she were to go through a land border somewhere remote vs. leaving from an international airport...would this make a difference? How organized and connected are the labor dept with immigration, does the labor dept report to immigration when someones work permit expires ( i hear technically yes, but practically)? Any one with any experiences? We know that the issue of paying overstay penalties may arise later if she were to try to renew her work permit after leaving and coming back, but she is not sure she will return here to work anyways and just looking for exit options;)
Good afternoon. I have sorted out my extension of stay from ‘guardian’ to retirement and my wife is tagging along. We have two daughters, one is still in school and she got her ed extension. The other is 17 years old, she finished school, her current extension finishes on the 30/06 but she will stay her for 1 more month. What are my options? Can she apply for a Covid extension? I understand that she can be in overstay and not be fined as she is still a minor but I would really want to avoid that. Any help will be welcome!
Hello guys, I did my covid tourist visa extension in CM in December, they gave me 15days first and they would give me 45days more when I come back (I already knew this rule). But I'm in Koh phangan now, I called to KP immigration before I came, to make sure I could do the 15days stuff here, but now they said they cannot, and told me I have to go back to CM.
Would anyone know if I go back to CM immigration over 15days (I cannot go back immediately;_;) would they charge me fee? So I can make it after my vocation. Or I can do it in other places in south?
Good morning. We received a stv valid till 6/7. I prepared all my paperwork to ask for 90 day extension tomorrow but now I saw that my entry stamp says valid till 21/6( we entered 23/4). Any idea what we are facing: 500bht/ day for overstaying but will they refuse our extension request? Tia
Bangkok(MTT) TR 60 (Covid19 60 days extension) Report
Short: Received in consideration stamp, will need to return 9 Dec.
Long: Arrived just before 10am, no appointment, prefilled out most forms ahead of time but still asked to fill out manually 3 forms. No problem. Went back, asked to get extra copy of last stamps for Nov 30 expiry from passport. Ok, joined a long line for photocopier. No request for TM30.
3rd floor corridor with chairs, there were at maximum 6 other customers all going back and forth redoing forms like me. Not busy. Someone asked me for help, they had lost their TM6 (!). One person ahead of me with 14.5k baht worth of overstay fees arguing they didn't want to pay, was rebuked very sternly by official. But I and others was treated very fairly and once inside the main room smooth as silk. Long black jeans, full sleeve shirt, black keens and black socks. Black mask. Out within an hour. Could have been shorter if I had my passport copies in order.
Tip: Arrive early (see other post today for afternoon 'chaos'
