Over stay is a violation of the visa regime, when a tourist is overdue and does not leave the country on time. According to the legislation of the Kingdom, this is punishable by a fine / prison and deportation, followed by blacklisting, but earlier 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 exemplary punishments for oversteilers, 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 the passport. You need to leave the country on this day. If you cross the border at night - even at five minutes of the first, it counts as the next day and overstay. Be careful. If there is one date in the visa, and another on the stamp, even if it was put to you incorrectly, then the stamp is considered first. At the beginning of 2019, the situation is as follows: crossing the land border with overlay 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. It's up to the officer.
