Overstay charge hiked to B500 a day

Overstay charge hiked to B500 a day
PHUKET: The fine for remaining in Thailand past the expiry date of a permit to stay, currently 200 baht a day, will rise to 500 baht a day with effect from March 15.

However, the maximum fine payable will remain the same, at 20,000 baht, Pol Lt Gen Suwat Thamrongsrisakul, Commander of the Immigration Bureau, stated in a document posted in Thai on the Bureau’s website. The document gave no reason for the increase.

Cool Hope they don't increase the 1900 Baht extension

This is probably to force people to do extensions.Currently they cost 1900 Baht.Let's hope they leave them alone.

I think this ok, because if there is so much trouble by overstays it makes the farangs go for their visa. 200 bht doesnt really hurt! and as the maximum sum is still 20.000 i think the intention is not to rip the poeple but to get them back to the rules. better treating like this instead of that crazy story with the visa riun bus 2min. away from the border imho

all expats please dont kill me,
