Hey Nick_M, Have fun on your trip! My last trip to Thailand this year I overstaid by about a week and when I left I spent about 10 minutes fillling out some forms and paying a 1000 baht fine. It all seemed pretty routine and casual.

Following up on what Bassai said. i can advise yous all that immigration are perfectly happy to fine you for a few days overstay, more money for the government!! Nothing seriously long though!!

But of course, be careful if your on an overstay though, even if its one of a only a few days. If the cops know, you'll be arrested before deportation!

Many years ago I overstayed only 2 hours (!), I get arrested and had to pay a fine.I had to take a flight back home the next day.

Nick:

Absolutely, no problems!

Then if you wish to come back to Thailand from Malaysia and stay more than 30 days you can apply for a two month (extendable extra month) Tourist Visa from either the Thai embassy in Penang or Katu Bahru (depending if you enter from the east or west coast.

Hi All,

I am two weeks away from heading off to my first trip to S.E. Asia, and cannot wait. I am slightly concerned about some visa issues and was seeking some advice from the experienced travellers.

My first port of call is Thailand, but I believe you only receive a thirty day visa. This is not too much of a problem as I have be heading down to Malaysia. However, I do want to return to Thailand to see a little more, plus I also fly back to the UK from Bangkok. Will I have any problems obtaining another thirty day visa when I try to enter Thailand again from Malaysia?

I hope this all makes sense.
