How do I fix this. First time happening to me 🤷‍♀️. I arrived yesterday with a tourist visa - good for 60 days. Immigration asked to see the visa, etc. Now sitting in my ASQ and noticed she only stamped me in for 30 days 🤦‍♀️ how do I fix this?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user arrived in Thailand on a tourist visa valid for 60 days but was mistakenly stamped for only 30 days. They sought advice on how to fix this issue. Community members suggested returning to the airport immigration desk after finishing their ASQ quarantine or visiting the nearest immigration office in Bangkok to rectify the stamping error. The user later reported successfully resolving the issue at the airport.

Why did immigration ask to see the visa ? Normally visas are in your passport (stamp or sticker ) ? And what kind of visa did you get sticked in your passport ?

Did you show them the printed out evisa? I just handed it in with my passport

yes I did. Along with putting 60 days on the immigration form. We actually talked a bit about 60 days. She just made a mistake

it is an evisa - none of the offices are open for the stickers.

- sorry. I did forget that they changed it recently 😳. My mistake. If they stamped the wrong duration, I would recommend to go to your local immigration office and talk to them.

I bet you came in with an eVisa paper 😮

There are reports of them messing up and mis-stamping people seeing as there is no sticker in your passport for them to refer to.

What they did was pick up the wrong stamp and stamped you for the 30 day visa exempt entry rather than the 60 day tourist visa entry stamp you should have gotten

As soon as you get out of ASQ you have two choices, you either go back to the airport (where they'll fix it)

OR

you go to the nearest immigration office which in bangkok means you'd go to Chaengwattana the main office and you'd go to section J the section that deals with tourist visas.

I was gonna say that going back to the airport (given the low number of people comin' in/goin' out) is gonna be the lesser of two evils 🙂

Good luck, (y)

Believe me you are far from the first foreigner to be stamped in wrong at passport control 😛 .

AND

other than the inconvenience of you having to slog somewhere to get the stamp corrected you won't have any issue getting it done 😕

If Immigration stamped u incorrectly, after ASQ, go back to airport and to the Information Desk and tell them yer problem. They will call someone from inside Immigration to help you. Easy to fix, it just costs u time.
