Hello. I'm staying in Thailand now. I don't have a visa. I was pressed 30 with a red stamp in the immigration. What do you mean?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently in Thailand without a visa and has received a red stamp indicating a 30-day entry. Comments clarify that a proper entry stamp for 30 days should be designated as ผ.30, while a stamp marked as ผ.ผ.30 applies to a different group of countries and allows for a shorter extension. The consensus is that the user should visit their local immigration office to correct the stamp and apply for a 30-day extension.

And now that we sussed out what happened, gave the O/P advice on how to resolve it, and seeing as it turned into a conversation in Japanese between Apple and the O/P

We are done, Good Luck to

They also marked your entry stamp with a 1 in a circle because people who get 30 day visa exempt entry stamps by land can ONLY get TWO in a calendar year (Jan 1 - Dec 31). SO they knew you were supposed to get a visa exempt entry NOT a visa waiver entry.

Just go to the immigration office and get the stamp corrected AND then apply for a 30 day extension for 1900baht

As a Japanese passport holder apply for a 30 day extension on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp.

As a Japanese passport holder you should have gotten stamped in on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp and that stamp SHOULD have been a ผ.30 visa class, NOT a ผ.ผ.30..

A 30 day visa exempt entry stamp is a ผ.30 and it's issued to people from 51 countries and they can get a 30 day extension

(Japan is IN this group)

A 30 day visa WAIVER entry stamp is a ผ.ผ.30 and it's issued to people from SIX countries and they can ONLY get a 7 day extension

(Hong Kong, Macao, Laos, Mongolia, Russia & Vietnam)

What I recommend doing is going to your local immigration office, get the stamp fixed, and then apply for a 30 day extension.

@Seitaro ********
do not avoid asking if you have the correct stamp

...if its wrong and not corrected it could create a problem when you seek extension.

@Seitaro ********
I think you were stamped in WRONG. Your stamp should be only a ผ.30 NOT a ผ.ผ.30

The people who get a ผ.ผ.30 stamp come from Hong Kong, Laos, Macao, Mongolia, Russia or Vietnam

Looks normal to me. Go get your 30 days extension.
