Overstay or how to live illegally in Thailand

If you find yourself in overstay and are wondering how to live in Thailand illegally, I recommend the following tips:

What is overstay? Overstay is a violation of the rules of stay of a foreign national in Thailand. It is a very unpleasant situation with possible serious consequences.

Scan the first page of your own passport with a photo. When you check your passport, you can show this copy. It is very rare that they may start asking questions. Remember that under the new rules, scanned copies of passports must be stamped and certified by the immigration office.
The more responsible policeman may not be enough a scanned copy of the passport, so he will ask where the original is. In such a situation, you can say that the passport is in escrow for bike rental in Thailand, located away from the place of inspection. Such a contract should be prepared in advance, and the phone number in it should include some paid Thai prostitute, who will confirm to the police that she has a passport as a deposit for the bike.

Nothing prevents a tourist from becoming quite “legal”for 300-1000 baht paid to a corrupt policeman even if he verts in Thailand or has no passport.
Do not drive in resort cities, the risk of getting caught by the police increases several times. Better use public transport, such as tuk-tuks.
Don’t walk at night, during this time the police stop tourists for document checks more often than during the day.
Without legal documents to stay in Thailand for a long time, if you forget about the resort towns and go deep into the country. This is due to the lack of knowledge of police English. Not wishing to show their incompetence, the police officers decided not to approach the foreign tourist to check his identity.
Prepare some other documents in advance. For this purpose, the Thai driver’s license would be quite suitable.
Living in Thailand illegally, the tourist should attract a minimum of attention. This requires less noise, drinking alcohol, not visiting bars and local clubs. It is in bars that the police often conduct raids in order to find dealers of Thai drugs, checking the documents of all those present.

After crossing the border, you will have such stamps in your documents

If you follow these rules, the problem of illegal life in Thailand, will be partially solved. But I recommend that you do not resort to this method, because it’s quite simple to get a whole year Thai student visa or arrange a business visa (changed rules for getting a visa to Thailand). By the way, if you have lost your migration card of Thailand, immediately run to the Thai airport to restore it, but this procedure is quite demanding.

It is worth remembering that the discovered fraud with the vehicle rental or other tricks of the tourist and overstaying may lead to big trouble, so deciding to do it, you should weigh all the possible consequences.
