More to the story than we are told, he was arrested by officers of the Crime Suppression Team and not immigration officers, he was probably already wanted in my opinion.
I'd say you were absolutely correct, the police were waiting for him, and didn't want him to skip out.
Bottom line; it’s simple; “do NOT overstay”. Why do people it is ok to overstay and pay the fine. Rules are rules and Thai immigration is not the boogeyman. Just stick to the rules
Hi, back in July this year I had a 15-month overstay. I got a ticket, paid the 20k fine, and got a 3-year ban. The Immigration were good about it, they just smiled and said bye have a good flight lol But it was lucky I did not get caught as it would have been a lot worse.
I’d say there was a bit of history behind this
Great advice don’t overstay in Thailand. Three years ago, I did an accidentally overstay of two days. Thai immigration took it very serious. I paid my fine and I have made sure that I never overstay in the future.
Good advice Ben. I had a similar problem. Was surprised at the ต.ม. reaction.
WOW, just wow. Thanks for the video
I had a friend leave a week ago. 89 day overstay. Just paid the fine at the airport and laid low during hit time here when he was an overstay. The officers told him he was lucky (obviously) that if it was one more day he would have been arrested.
The country is getting richer, so laws are going to be tougher.
Good information thank you Ben 👍👍
More to the story, imho
No excuse for 79-days. That is just flauting the rules. I was in rural Thailand years ago when my visa was due, and I was returning to Pattaya in two days, so I thought it was okay to wait. After being chastised by the IO, I paid my fines, and swore never to do it again.
Follow the rules and obey the law and you will not have any problems. If you overstay, then you get everything you deserve
Seems like there could be some data sharing going on between airlines and immigration since it wasn't even at immigration that he was apprehended, but in the departure lounge.
The airport was classed as nutral ground, as in transit
It sounds more like they have been looking for this person. He really pissed somebody off or was doing something really stupid.
Wow good to know!
Overstay in Indonesia where I’m living is $100 aus a day.
Last Friday I was at a bank trying to get bank account for visa purposes.. after the required paperwork they called the local immigration to share passport info.. the customer service agent passed me the phone and I was notified that even though I came in through the bkk airport... I still... Even without a visa .. had to come in to this immigration office as soon as I get here from BKK... This happened in lampang... I was confused because I never heard of this in 5 years been coming here.. o well.. stuff changes daily and provincially
Time to wake now for everyone coming to Thailand.
Should I be reporting where I am staying in Thailand ? I yearly with my Thai wife for sometimes a month (visa exempt) or 60 days on a visa. We have a home and stay there as a base but take 3 to 5 day trips to places like Udon last week Centara and Bangkok this week.
Should I report my home address each time I return home from a hotel stay?
Could be an 79 day overstay OVER his 60 or 90 day visa , so meaning he was already max 169 day in the country.
As you rhetorically asked, "Where is the line". As I'm pretty sure you could agree after a few years involved in Thai legislation, the answer in most cases will be: It is Thai-line😁
You repeatedly emphasis the time "5:30am!" I didn't know the law only came into effect during business hours 😂
Correct: Immigration office hours are 24/7!
when i was in china i overstayed by 3 days and they let me out. then a few years later after covid i was 1 day over and they wouldnt let me leave the country
"In the departure hall"
What side of the passport control ?
Clearly
Plot twist, he was just released from hospital, having been in a coma for 75 days
Policy change??? Or was there more to this one guys story?
Do you think this assertiveness towards foreigner overstays has anything to do with Thailand’s recently very public alignment with China?
simple don't overstay
Last night I was on a bus from Phuket to Bangkok. A man in front of me had been reading the Phuket Gazette. I read his newspaper and noticed that a foreigner had been arrested at the airport in Phuket. Yes, times are really bad and the authorities in Thailand are getting very particular now. I am now starting to read the headlines of the farang newspapers every day. Then I'll start a TH-cam channel, because it could be that tomorrow, Wednesday, a farang will be arrested at the airport in Udon Thani because he has done something wrong for reasons that are very difficult to understand. I think it's getting worse every day and we don't know what's still to come. We are lost, luckily I am a lawyer. I'm saving you all because I read the headlines in the farang papers every day.
International lounge, means he went through immigration already.
Thanks for the insight.

delay in reporting address over 90day is not considered overstay?
no, you just pay fine bit will be filed
so he went to the airport, cleared immigration, and was waiting 4 his flight in the departure hall - meaning at the gate? or did this happen while trying to get his exit stamp?
I am not fully clear on that either. That said, the fact that this occurred at the airport is a big deal, I had never heard of this in the past (at least with regard to an under 90 day overstay). As noted in the video, I always viewed getting to the airport as akin to "touching base". Times are clearly changing.

Perhaps he was unable to pay the fine for whatever reason (technical issues, lack of funds, etc. )
I’m not saying this is the reason. However, U.S. immigration law was often enforced at airports by INS, and likely still is by CBP, with varying degrees of veracity depending on overtime availability. An operation to intercept outbound violators would regularly occur during the Fall, in what I used to call “operation spend money” to expend available overtime pay before the end of the fiscal year. The other occurrences were as a show of force to add uncertainty in the minds of would be violators, like a DUI checkpoint on a Holiday weekend. Let’s hope these draconian measures don’t become the norm. If they do, I would hope the counterweight will be more precise and standardized regulations across the country that are easy to follow.
There are no immigration law in US. In last three years more than 10 million illegal got in...Wait till Nov 2024 when Trump back to power.
79 overstay? Are we assuming he was flying out of the country or possibly to another city in Thailand?
He was at the international part of the airport not the national, so I assume wanted to fly out of the country 😉
Crime Suppression Unit involved - this guy is not just a regular overstay guy!
Bingo..certainly more to this story than we know.
imagine you have a family, kids, a condo, a car, and money... and are banned for years... yes the solution, don't overstay, don't work illegaly
There are so many Russians working illegally in Phuket
What these guys want is for you to do is use there services for visas etc,, trying to scare you do it all yourself its not that hard, these visa companies pray on you, do it yourself, dont pay the rip off fees they charge
Sorry ben but every time i see you standing there in your shirt tie and jacket i bet you are wearing shorts
Big Joke demonstrated the power of "following the rules" to generate income for the government. Look where he's at now, just a stone's throw from the top position.
Rules are Rules..
no excuses if you overstay in any country, unless you were incapacitated medically for a period. Otherwise you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.
