    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Thank you for your reply, and this solid advice. You mainly agree with other comments here, and this is exactly what I've decided to do. Hopefully it all turns out as planned. Regarding the last advice, I use Revolut bank, and I intend to only show the amount I need for my ticket on there. They...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Thanks for your input, but I wouldn't even know where to start to find someone like that. It also sounds unnecessary expensive. I can live with a day or three in a holding area, if I will be able to leave shortly after that. At least I hope to keep my phone during the process, so I can do the...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    I do understand what you are saying here, but I can assure you that my embassy (or UDI) never ever assists with any finances in these cases. It's a 100% firm policy, which has been up for discussions in my country many times in the past. It's a well known fact there. As far as I know, the same...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    No, the embassy (at least the Scandinavian ones) never assists with covering any expenses. That is their clear policies. I do believe the US may assist with a loan. They are the only embassy I know who assists in an economical way when overstay is involved. My Norwegian embassy made clear that...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Yes. I'm aware. Let's just hope this will be deemed as an administrative violention. I can't see why the embassy will need to be involved though. Or what difference that makes. I have had my case discussed with them, and they mentioned nothing about getting involved. Or any advantage that would...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Yes, I did read the stories on this forum before I posted. There were a couple of successful ones with ticket in hand as well, but that seems risky to do, I realise that. When it comes to Thailand, I'm well aware of the rules there. My last wife for 9 years, was Thai. I never overstayed there...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    I'm not thinking of a bribe at all, just suggesting if he'll buy some food for me, while I'm in a holding cell, he could buy some for himself too. I think that's a normal thing to offer, and I believe that's appreciated. I would never bribe anyone to get these proceedings expedited. Just for...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Thank you for your reply, and yes, I'm now prepared to go through the process. It's too much money to lose if I am detained longer than the date on my ticket. I won't be giving them too much information or proof (I don't have direct proof of that) on my misfortune back in 2019 though, I believe...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Your last point, that's what I was thinking, to pay an officer to buy food for me. And give some money his way too, of course. I'm usually not a cheap charlie 😊 Thank you again for your replies 👍🙏

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    I have used an app so far for some conversations, so yes, I'll do that. I do know some very few phrases and words, but that's it for me. Since I knew I won't be back here already when covid happened, I haven't really had the interest of learning the language. Thanks again all of you for these...

    Okey, thank you! My Indonesian is non-existent 😂

    Oh, wow.. What does that mean? Don't they have immigration or flights there anymore?

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Thank you for this caring reply! No, I'm really looking forward to leave now, so I'm just happy to finally continue with my life as a retiree. I will retire after this, and I will definitely find joy in that. With my pension I will live very well, I guess Thailand will be my next destination...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Thank you for your replies. Probably best advice, but I will still wait to see if someone in this thread has a recent experience. But so far, I think I'm leaning to your suggestion. Yes, I agree, I'm probably overthinking it. Just one question, do you guys think I should surrender at...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Hi, good people! I'm a 62 year old Norwegian, with a rather unusual story, I guess. I have a 5 year overstay hanging over me, because of several incidents. Long story short, from an abandoned attempt to marry, subsequently losing my savings to a woman who just moved and blocked me, to covid...
