You should ask them to correct it, but if you do not have time for that you can contact our team.

well. do you still have access to your e-visa application? Did the embassy refer to your passport scan, or did they refer to something you entered manually ? If you entered the correct date but the embassy misinterpreted the passport detail page scan, the mistake is on the embassy. A simple email to them explaining the error might be the best approach to get your visa re-issued with the correct birth year. If the mistake was on you, I would not report it unless you want to lose the fee and are okay to re-submit

It will be picked up and cancelled at the Airport.

If you have not used the visa and you have just been sent the confirmation pdf and if its a mistske they have made I would email them and send them an image of the visa with the error circled and an image showing the dob in your passport. Give them a few days / a week to reply then call them if you havent had any correspondence. If its your mistake when filling in the form they could void your viss and you would have to reapply

Alan Turnbull Exactly the best advice. Get it sorted before you leave mate.

Graeme Edgar defo I wouldnt leave myself wide open like that. I went through customs once at suvarnbhumi and was just about to exit when i noticed they had stamped the wrong date I went back everyone shouting at me that I can not go back but I just went back to who stamped my passport and told them wrong date they just stamped correct date and gave me a smile shy bairns get no jellytots

OPIts a 90 day Non Immigrant O visa incorrectly showing my date of birth 1956 instead on 1955. I will use it for entering Thailand by air in a few weeks .
My question was what should I do ? I wondered if this would be picked up by the Immigration Officer at arrival and cause me a problem.
I have no idea what to do and was hoping that someone might have relevant advice .

Paul Searle You should get it corrected before travelling. You don't want an incorrect visa stamped into your passport especially if you're going to use it to getva long term visa. Someone will notice and when you open your bank account it might cause issues. So you should contact the visa issuing office asap.

OPIan DelMar I'm not going to use the visa for anything else , only entering the country and then leaving within 90 days . My worry is might I be refused entry if the Immigration Officer notices the mistake ?
dog_barke**********
Paul Searle simply if you have a worry get it corrected. The folk on this page suggesting not to worry it will get sorted when you land are not the ones risking it. The immigration office has last say ... Should have been done right and now you may have a chance to sort it .

Your date of birth is either right or wrong. Even if it's off by 1 day it's wrong, it's not a slight error

What is the issue?

You'll be fine, nobody pays any attention to minor details in Thailand.

Non-O is the visa which may stay with you for many years extending it - have it fixed as will come to light down the line. A printed copy of it is part of the annual extension requirement.
Sue **********
Rok Ziherl absolutely correct.
Kim *********
Rok Ziherl you don't extend the visa - you extend the permission to stay. A visa is an entry permission.
Sue **********
Kim Nielsen but you have to copy the first visa every time you reapply for the next 1 year extension.
Todd *********
No problem unless you plan to enter Thailand with it
Brendan *******
Where else would he possibly be entering with it 🤦♂️
Todd *********
Brendan Coyle nowhere. That’s the point. Stay sharp out there

Outis ********
Stephen Howell DOB as described
Richie *******
Nay McLegh Not really described was it? There are hundreds of possibilities.
Jim ********
And all are errors so it really doesn’t matter what the errror is as it’s still wrong 🤷♂️
Paul ********
Richie Bates The birth year is incorrect. 1956 is given but it should be 1955. How many other possibilities could there be?
Stephen ********
Nay McLegh You haven't answered the question
