Are visa overstay fees increasing?

If you have an E visa it's 400,000R plus health test and processing for a Temporary Work Permit so about $150 paid every year.
But if you have a permanent stay visa like a K visa or a longer visa (like I think the Japanese can get for some reason or if you invest huge amounts of money) there is a Permanent Work Permit for 240,000R which lasts for 2 years initially and then can be made permanent.
I still fall into the black hole of there being nothing written in the law for retirees.

I'm sure there are more authoritative sources that may prove me wrong but I was only drunkenly :shit-stirring: Vlad - sorry, I shouldn't post when drunk
Where are visa overstay fees paid? My visa will run out towards the end of the year, and I plan to return to my home country maybe up to a week after it"s expiry date. Is it as simple as paying the overstay fees as I go through immigration on the way out? My reason being, that my passport has just about run out of pages and I want to renew it during my visit back home and come back in on a new passport. I have about 8 year's of E visas, no work permit as I don't work, so that is my reasoning. I'm fully aware I'll still be on their data base and it may not solve anything re past work permits but just going to give it a go. May even come back in on tourist visa, then go over to say Thailand for a few days, re enter on a 30 day ordinary visa and start again with one year extension.

You pay the fines at immigration when departing, inform the immigration officer and he will call his superior and take you aside, they will issue you a receipt.Holdfast wrote:Where are visa overstay fees paid?.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Everyone on a low wage that would be tempted to overstay, that's by far in the majority teachers I should think. Tscobienz wrote:If the price for work permits is rising, why is this an issue of targeting teachers? I don't understand the connection. Surely it targets everyone working here.
I can't see the point myself. if your going to raise it, it just means if owing 4000 you will now owe more like 8000. How does that help the government? Most people I know just make a deal for all the money they have (could borrow) normally around a grand for a 4 year overstay. You can't get money from people that don't have it. I would say it is mainly the teachers and some people with low funds that overstay. They should set a reasonable upper limit maybe and check passports more often. The police have copies of passports if you stay in a flat and the hotels are suppose to record that info. I must be missing something unless it's just meant for short term overstayers.
Then Again, it may just be a way to raise wages for the border officers.

I know a Korean guy who overstayed his visa over 2 years, he brought his Khmer girlfriend over the border to negotiate with the Khmer immigration officers and only paid 1/5 of the fine, then he simply crossed over to the Thai side and re-entered Cambodia again as nothing ever happened.
