Nout Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I should have reported to immigration on 5th of October but only realised today. About a month a ago I was diagnosed with a serious, painful Inoperable cancer. I have been abstracted and worried since then visiting the hospital frequently. That is my only excuse for not reporting. I have never forgotten before. I am worried about being deported to UK or being held in the IDC. Anybody know my options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 That's tough news for anyone to take - sorry to read that. My guess is that a letter from your Doctor stating that you have been unwell and unable to visit Immigration for an extension would resolve this issue when you go to Chaeng Wattana for a further extension. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late 90 day reporting is not a overstay and the reports were not required until after midnight today. If an extension you are not on an overstay today due to the amnesty. Tomorrow will be you first day of over stay. Do you have your financials proof ready to apply for an extension. You could try and do it on Monday if you are prepared and explain and/or prove the reason you are late. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being late for your 90 day report is NOT an overstay and usually is dealt with a 2000 baht fine and no other retribution. Relax and deal with it Monday.

You need to stop confusing a overstay with late 90 day reporting. Late reporting is not a big deal. Just pay the 2000 baht fine and that is it and as I said you probably will not be fined due them not being required until after midnight today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a result of my illness and the treatment received. I am therefore 25 or 1 day late for 90 day reporting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 As others have explained, the worst that can happen is a 2,000 baht fine. Failure to file 90 day report is nto the same as overstay. regarding your medical condition I hope you are under the care of a pain/palliative care specialist. If not, I do nto know of any in Pattaya but there is a good team at Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok and they should be able to arrange after care/med refills etc at BPH https://www.bangkokhospital.com/doctor/dr-laksamee-chanvej 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtank Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 You are worrying over nothing. The very worst is a 2,000 Baht fine. probably won't even be that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featography Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 From personal experience: If you have the funds, go to AGTB (A Great Thai Visa) or Best Friends Visa Service, explain your predicament. With passport and all hospital records in hand, they may be able to help you. The key is to alert Immigration BEFORE they find you. It will cost approximately 4,000-5,000thb for their service, but take my word for it, its worth the money to have the pros do the work and it removes so much stress on you. A friend last year got all messed up in proving his income and Immigration not only refused to extend his visa, they told him he had 7 days to leave Thailand. Same day he went to Best Friends. BF took his passport and what documentation he had, talked to Immigration and within 48 hrs he had his visa extension. He told BF they had a customer for life, after that experience. Key points, Dont wait, dont make them find you, AND pay the pros. to do the talking for you at Immigration. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they actually manage to obtain a full year's extension for your pal - as distinct from one of up to 90 days for medical reasons under para 2.25 of Police Order 138/2557?

It's a decent enough place to die. There's no law stating you have to spend all your money and the rest of your life trying for a cure, while the doctors slowly torture you to an agonising death.
