For my third DTV STAMP.

The officer stamped me in for 60 days 

I spotted it as I was leaving then went back 

He then rectified it and stamped me in till 13 July 

Be careful folks as it’s a massive headache trying to sort later

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user shares their experience of receiving an entry stamp in Bangkok for their DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), initially receiving a 60-day stamp, which was later corrected to 180 days. They emphasize the importance of verifying the stamp before leaving the immigration counter to avoid headaches later. Comments highlight the necessity of carrying printed visa copies, clearly communicating with immigration officers, and checking the stamp immediately for correctness.

ah,thanks, was just wondering if he didn't see the DTV but must have adjusted the stamp wrongly. Good advice to always check, because it's easier to bring it up there and then!

Well anyways mention if you have Visa and what Visa/entry permit. Show the right page.

And double check stamps.

One of the only "perks" of having a passport from a country that is not elegible for the 60-day visa exempt entry is that they will never stamp me that by mistake. The system wouldn't allow it, and anyways they always "notice" that is from a "never seen before" country 😂

But yeah, even so, I always check with my eyes on the spot (despite handling the printed PDF). It's easy to get confused for them specially for people from the visa exempt entry countries.

Definitely a good reminder for everyone on DTV to check the stamp before leaving the counter. Mistakes happen, and it’s much easier to fix on the spot than weeks later at immigration.

Whenever I have a pre obtained visa be that tourist or DTV, I will print a physical copy and hand it over unfolded to the IO.

moral of the story

1 - PRINT out the PDF they emailed you when the visa was approved <- That IS your actual visa

2 - Hand it and your passport to the officer when you stamp in

3 - CHECK the entry stamp BEFORE you walk away from the stamp in counter to make sure they stamped you for 180 days on a DTV not 60 days on a free stamp entry
