TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses the possibility of obtaining an eternal multi-entry visa in Thailand, referencing unique situations experienced by expats. Comments highlight the flexibility of visa management, including using insurance validity to extend stays by re-entering before expiration. There's also a humorous exchange regarding unusual passport stamping dates and validity issues.

An invalid date, wouldn't it make the stamp invalid also?

I don’t think so.

She wrote on my passport and then keyed in the system (which obviously told her 31 November doesn’t exist), she then scratched 1 and the note underneath. I should be good. I guess I’ll find out next trip.

And if you update your insurance for another year and get stamped in short time before 11th November 2025 you can stay until 10th November 2026. For your second year you’ll need to purchase re-entry permits as the visa itself it’s expired and you’re on permission to stay.

You can clearly see it's 11. But you can't try and argue with immigration that it is 31. Good luck

It’s probably just an error and 3 is corrected to 1 which gives 11. Nothing else makes sense.
