Please can I get some advice.

We have 6 month multi entry visa's for Thailand. 

We arrived the first time 28th January and were given 60 days.

When we flew to Bangkok again on 4th may we were only given 28days and the visa wasn't stamped  (just the passport page)

I'm sure now looking back it's our fault for either standing in the wrong que or for not saying that we wanted 60days.

What do we need to do? Our flight home is 28th july.

Thanks in advance for tour help

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has a 6-month multi-entry visa for Thailand but was mistakenly given only 28 days on their recent entry instead of the expected 60 days. They are seeking advice on how to resolve this issue before their flight home on July 28. Comments suggest visiting immigration to have the stamping corrected, as such mistakes are common and typically easily resolved.

Go Tuesday to Immigration and get the stamp corrected, it happens more than you think. Immigration Officers are human and make mistakes as strange as it sound. If you do not correct the stamp and just stay 60 days you wil get fined for overstay, after all it is your responsibility to check and stay within the rules.

I'd just go to immigration and talk to them early as possible to set your mind at ease - I can't see why it should cost more - maybe some offices are a bit strict but it isn't unusual for it to happen. It's good to remember to check they stamp the right thing but coming through we don't always remember. I forgot last time but it was fine. Good luck!

Go to immigration office to sort out your admitted until date, and later get 30 days extension for 1900 thb. You don't have to do border run before your flight.

Could go to immigration and try to sort it or wait until May 28th (or 60 days before July 28th) and make a quick border run. When you come back in make sure they know you have a 6 month multi entry. Sometimes they don't look or people forget to write the visa number on the arrival card and they just give the 30 day exempt stamp.

i don’t think it should cost you anything as it was their mistake in first place. I wouldn’t leave it too much longer before you went to sort it though
