Overstaying a visa triggers daily monetary fines ranging from $10 USD per day in Cambodia and 500 THB per day in Thailand to 1,000,000 IDR (~$62 USD) per day in Bali. Critically, surrendering voluntarily at an international airport carries vastly lower re-entry ban consequences than being stopped at an inland police checkpoint.
Select the country where your visa or entry stamp has expired or is about to expire.
Count every calendar day past the "Admitted Until" date printed on your stamp or e-Visa.
Voluntary surrender at airport exit control avoids immediate deportation bans in several countries.
When surrendering voluntarily at Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, or Chiang Mai airport with a confirmed outbound flight under 90 days, there is no formal blacklist ban—though an overstay stamp is placed in your passport (often waived for <24h at airports, though Day 2 charges 1,000 THB).

In almost every immigration jurisdiction worldwide, the law draws a sharp distinction between a traveler who voluntarily presents themselves at an international airport departure desk with an outbound flight ticket versus a traveler who is discovered with an expired visa at an inland police roadblock, hotel registration check, or domestic bus terminal.

At Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) airports, immigration officers frequently waive the 500 THB cash fine if your overstay is less than 24 hours, though they still place a small notation stamp in your passport. However, the moment you reach Day 2 (24+ hours past midnight of your stamp expiry), you are charged the full 1,000 THB for BOTH Day 1 and Day 2. Land borders never waive the Day 1 fine.
Do not take intercity buses or domestic flights where INM conducts roadside checks, as inland apprehension with an expired FMM can result in detention at an Estación Migratoria. Instead, go directly to the international airport on the day of your outbound international flight at least 3.5 hours early, visit the airport INM kiosk with your passport and flight reservation, pay the administrative fine, and board your flight.
Most countries only care about overstays within their own jurisdiction or shared border bloc (such as the 29-country Schengen EES/SIS II database). However, an overstay stamp inside your physical passport can prompt extra questioning when returning to that same country—or when applying for strict consular visas (US, UK, Australia, Canada). Carrying a verifiable onward flight ticket on future trips helps reassure border officers.
In Thailand, local immigration offices will sometimes process a standard 30-day tourist extension if you appear within 1 to 3 days of expiry—after first making you pay the 500 THB/day overstay fine. In Indonesia (Bali), once your e-VOA passes midnight on Day 30 without an active extension application in the Molina system, you can no longer extend it and must pay 1,000,000 IDR/day until you fly out.
