Over stay is a violation of the visa regime when a tourist has expired and has not left the country on time. According to the legislation of the Kingdom, a fine / prison and deportation are threatened for this, followed by blacklisting, but previously there were no special problems with this, it was enough to pay 500 baht for each day of delay. In 2018, the situation changed and compliance with the law, as well as demonstrative punishments of overstayers, became a priority for the authorities. We strongly recommend that you do not violate the visa regime of Thailand and keep track of what date is in your passport. You need to leave the country on this day. If you cross the border at night — even at five minutes past midnight, it counts for the next day and overstay. Be careful. If there is one date on the visa and another on the stamp, even if it was put to you incorrectly, then the stamp is considered first of all. At the beginning of 2019 , the situation is as follows: crossing the land border with the overstay is extremely risky even with one day of delay. Through Bangkok airport, prison and deportation are also threatened. So far, they are allowed through other airports in Thailand, but there is no guarantee that everything will cost a simple fine of 500 baht / day. This is at the discretion of the officer.
