coxyhog Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I'm booked on Eva in September & my stay in Thailand is 31 days. Will it be a problem to overstay by one day? I've been trying to change my booking on Eva but now have been locked out of their f***d up system & they're not answering the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't get caught before reaching border control, it will be no more than a small fine. To avoid problems, you still have time to apply for visa. Another possibility is to apply for an extension while in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 They usually waive the Day 1 fee but charge 1,000 baht if 2 days over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I might just change my booking back again. Used to be 100b per day back in the 80's. Edited July 8, 2022 by coxyhog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was told coming in (at the same crossing) as I knew I'd be one day over when I departed. But alas, I was still charged by the BiB for the one day despite me recounting "what I was told"... Lots of subjectivity... TiT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't want the worry that I was at risk, especially now that you have sorted it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Also got to bear in mind whether you would encounter problems at check-in at the start of your trip. If your return trip is beyond the standard visa exempt period they may not let you fly notwithstanding you booked with them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maipenrai Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I've overstayed by one day twice over the years - both times I just cheerily told the immigration official that I'd made a mistake while booking the trip and they just smiled and told me to keep moving; of course it may be different if there's a next time, I guess it all depends on the mood of the official that day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siam Addict Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I've heard that they may extend the visa's to 45 days but nothing seems to be confirmed yet. I'm looking to stay 31-32 days this trip but if nothing happens regarding the 45 day visa I am planning to go online and getting a visa before I leave. Knowing my luck I'll get a grumpy border guard who puts me straight back on the plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
