Go to your local immigration office and extend. The cost is 1,900 baht. If you don’t then IF you get to the airport then you’ll be charged 1,500 for a 3 day overstay.

Some would question why pay 1,900 baht rather than 1,500 baht. But here goes.

An overstay stamp in your passport is rarely ever a consideration for coming back to Thailand. However other countries may see it as an issue if you apply for a visa for theirs.

If you were to be stopped by a police checkpoint whilst on overstay then a whole can of worms can open up including deportation and a ban from coming back to Thailand.

The latter would rarely happen. But it could.

Never plan to overstay. Get the extension and cover your ass. It’s just not worth the potential problems you could have if you don’t.

If you have the DTV sticker in your old passport you just carry both for the next 5 years.

If you have a PDF visa from the evisa site you can probably get away with a photocopy of the old passport with a print of the DTV.

Not really too sure what you’re asking here.

If you have a (single) re-entry permit then you can leave and come back and you’ll get the same date you’re already stamped for.

If you don’t have a re-entry permit you need to visit an immigration office to get one or get one at the airport just before you fly out.

You don’t need any documents from Thailand to apply in the UK. You can’t apply based on marriage and you can’t apply based on Thai family as your daughter is too old, but as you are over 50 you can apply based on that.

Check the London embassy website for specific requirements.

You can indeed get a visa on arrival. It will cost 2,000 baht each and you’ll get stamped in for 15 days.

The OP stated they had the visa already. Once they have it then consulate rules don’t apply.

Not real evidence but read posts on here and other forums that they’ve caused issues. I seem to recall Vietnam and Russia were mentioned.

Within 24 hours and leaving via an airport you’ll get an overstay stamp in your passport but they’ll usually waive the 500 baht fine.

The overstay stamp isn’t an issue for returning to Thailand but can cause issues in other countries when applying for a visa for there. They see the overstay stamp for Thailand and may it cause problems.

Depends on the embassy where you apply. Approx 10k baht or equivalent unless you’re in NZ where it’s 40k.

Check their website for exact costs. It should be around 10k equivalent in AUD.
