Is a corrected OA visa stamp sufficient and what should I do about the missing arrivals card?

Just arrived back to BKK today on the last stamp of the OA visa. The lady at the counter made a mistake and stamped three months initially then corrected it as shown in the picture when I pointed out the OA visa. Is this the right way to correct the stamp or will there be hassles when I apply for the multiple re-entry permit?

She also didn't retain the arrivals card. It's all stamped and everything but I only just saw it with the passport when I got home. Is that going to be an issue?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user arrived in Bangkok with an OA visa but encountered an issue where the immigration officer initially stamped a three-month stay before correcting it. They are concerned whether the correction will cause problems when applying for a multiple re-entry permit. Additionally, the arrivals card was not retained by the officer, raising concerns about potential issues. Community responses suggest that the correction of the stamp is acceptable and that the absence of the arrivals card is likely not an issue.

At least you have a readable stamp. When I got my extension this year she stamped it 2018 and then stamped over it the correct year 2019. :/

Look how gypsy it looks :O

My wife was incorrectly stamped in at BKK today as well. Luckily I noticed and it was hastily corrected by hand. At least you got a stamp

you sure you're not talking about the departure card you keep in your passport?

wow, they're usually good about taking that.

To be completely honest, I'd just toss it out :O and keep the departure card like you normally do ;)
