An extension of stay — what should you know about the consequences of overstay?

The matter being asked about is “An extension of stay”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. Before starting, make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. The terms that frame this page are extension · stay · know · consequences. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The condition most often overlooked is that name spelling must match across every document in the set. Overstaying is an offence under the Immigration Act, carrying a fine and, depending on the length of the overstay and whether the person surrendered or was arrested, a re-entry ban; the applicable figures come from the law and official announcements and must be checked case by case. Entry, stay and status of foreign nationals in Thailand are governed by the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979) and its ministerial regulations: visas are issued by Thai embassies, consulates and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs e-Visa system, while permission to stay and extensions are decided by the Immigration Bureau of the Royal Thai Police. ILC's scope is documentation — certified translation, notarial signature certification and running legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy. We are not an immigration authority and cannot guarantee any visa decision, which rests solely with the competent officer. Fees and scheduling depend on the number of documents, the source language, which authority must certify them and the destination country; we confirm scope in writing before starting.
