My friends, I am Asif, I live in Pattaya from years, for working purpose. I'm gonna tell you what happens if your visa is finished in Thailand. Hope my post will be helpful for you.
Please return back to your country before your visa gets finished. Otherwise, Police will find you and DIRECTLY SEND YOU IN Banlamung Prison. Then after staying one week in Banlamung Prison, the Immigration Police will take you to the Bangkok IDC Prison.
FROM IDC, THEY WILL DEPORT YOU, BY YOUR OWN FINANCIAL EFFORT. IF YOU HAVE NOBODY IN THAILAND, YOU WILL ROT IN IDC FOR MULTIPLE YEARS.
I have been both in Banlamung Prison and Bkk IDC Prison. Because my Filipino Friends (Caught by Pattaya Police) are already going to be Deported to their country of Residence. Banglamung Prison Ok...it's like a heaven, if you compare with Bkk IDC.
Bkk IDC is a Real Hell. In small rooms more than 120-150 people are ''Being Forced'' to live. Very Very dirty place. The reason for excessive high amount of Prisoners is Refugees and Refugee Families from all over Asia, who seek Asylum.
BE WARNED ABOUT ONE THING. IN IDC YOU WILL BE TREATED FAR WORSE THAN AN ANIMAL. THAI SYSTEM HAS NO SYMPATHY FOR FOREIGNERS. REMEMBER THAT.
After you Go IDC, contact your Relatives. Only your friends or relatives can help you out from this IDC shithole, by providing financial support. Bcaz you need to be deported by ''Yourself'' from Thailand. Until you buy your Plane Ticket for returning in your residence country, Thai Immigration will keep you locked in IDC.
ONE MORE THING. BE WARNED. "YOUR OWN COUNTRY EMBASSY CANNOT HELP YOU TO TAKE YOU OUT FROM IDC''. Why? Bcaz if you are an Usa Citizen, your embassy will NEVER pay 3000 usd for your Plane Fair, Simple!
I never seen such a ruch of Police and Law Enforcement Personnels in Pattaya before. Everywhere lots of Police Road Blocks. They checking EVERYBODY.
My Request to everyone whoever staying with tourist visa, PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR VISA DATE. DON'T EXPEND TOO MUCH MONEY, SO THAT YOU CAN SAFELY RETURN YOUR COUNTRY. IF YOU WANT OVERSTAY, GO SOY 6 IN PATTAYA. JOMTIEN BEACH IMMIGRATION OFFICE.
YOU HAVE TO GO MUST BEFORE YOUR VISA EXPIRES. THEN AND ONLY THEN YOU CAN APPLY FOR A NEW VISA FOR YOUR OVRRSTAY 30 DAYS DURATION.
And one more thing. When you go to Soy 6 immigration, you will see 1 or 2 PRISON VAN waiting in office compound. For who? FOR THOSE, WHO GOES TO PAY ''OVERSTAY FINE'' AFTER THEIR VISA FINISHED. FROM AUGUST 13, ''PAYING OVERSTAY FINE AFTER EXPIRY OF VISA IS NOT ALLOWED''. DON'T FORGET IT.
DON'T BE OVERSMART MY FRIENDS. TRY TO NOT BEING DEPORTED. BCAZ IF YOU GET DEPORTED, NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON IS, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO COME BACK IN THAILAND IN LIFETIME.
Stay safe...God bless you all Guys.
