Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing 3, 5 and 10 year bans here in Thailand. So I thought of making this video after reading a recent article from the Phuket News that is thephuketnews.com, the article is titled: Ukrainian man arrested at Phuket airport, charged for 114 days of overstay. Quoting further: "Immigration Officers at Phuket International Airport have reported the arrest of a 23-year-old Ukrainian national for overstaying his Visa. The man now faces a 5-year ban on entering the Kingdom." Quoting further, and more to the point for the purposes of this video: "Foreigners who voluntarily surrender for overstaying receive relatively lenient punishments. In addition to the daily fine, those who surrender for an overstay of more than 90 days but less than one year will be deported and blacklisted for one year. Overstays of more than one year but less than three years lead to a 3-year ban." So okay let's start with that; one year but less than three, that's a 3-year ban. I know we have done this before on this channel but I am finding that a lot of people especially newer viewers don't remember and they don't go into like our archive and look, so I figured it was probably time for a little refresher on this. Quoting further: "While overstays of more than three years but less than five years result in a 5-year ban." Quoting further: "Overstays of more than five years attract a 10-year ban." So again, 3, 5 and 10 years depending on the duration of overstay.

Something to bear in mind with respect to that is again the circumstances in a given case may warrant something akin to an appeal in a blacklisting case in matters pertaining to overstay. That said, those can be complex. Those who are looking to try to figure out how to appeal the blacklisting, again depending on your circumstances, where you are at and all of that, it may be possible to appeal. Again, it may not be a terrible idea to contact a legal professional, gain some insight and guidance into how best to proceed.
