Immigration Officer put the wrong stamp in my wife passport.

So what happened?

I did a visa run and I just arrived in phuket, I'm writting this from the van as I'm going home.

We're a family of four 3 Australian passport and wife Filippino, I told the immigration officer that we all have the DTV visa.

All Australian passports got 6 months but my wife got the wrong stamp and only 2 months, was waiting for the luggage when I found out about the stamp, so we all headed back and go to her and I told her, then she said something in thai like "I made a mistake" and then start to panic, the guy next to her was telling her something like "hurry up, your queue isn't moving, hurry" she was looking for something and made her desk a mess, then she finally found it, the void stamp, take out of the box and wasn't stamping the void in red so she grab a pen and put void in the stamp and put a new stamp.

Then she gave me the passport.

I ask her if the problem has been solved, she replied yes I will fix later pointing at the computer.

What should I do guys?

I have travelled alot and nothing like this never happened to me, I don't want my wife go to a detention center because the wrong stamp.

Here some pictures of the stamps.

TLDR : Answer Summary
After a visa run to Phuket, a family faced an issue when the immigration officer mistakenly stamped only a 2-month visa instead of the correct 6-month DTV visa for the wife's Filipino passport. The officer recognized the mistake and attempted to correct it by voiding the original stamp and providing a new one. The poster expressed concern about potential repercussions from the incorrect stamp. Community responses indicated that such errors are not uncommon, noted the correction made by the officer, and generally reassured the poster not to worry, advising them to verify the correction with immigration if desired.

It's normal, my client often gets the wrong stamp too. She already fixes so is okay

If it was me I would go to the immigration office to check and verify this. Better to be safe than sorry with visa stamps

1.) You wife with a Philippines Passport or any passport, such as Australia Passport, have had incorrect DTV Entry Stamps given by Thai Immigration Arrival Officers before, so this instance is not first time and will not be the last time

2.) Your wife has subsequently been given the Correct DTV Entry Stamp by the Thai Immigration Officer on Arrival at Phuket Airport

3.) Nothing to be worried about and any errors have already been corrected

4.) No need to follow up on this DTV Entry Stamp Error as it has already been corrected

5.) a very good Reminder to all to Always Double-Check your Entry Stamps by any immigration officer Anywhere in the world immediately upon arrival, so as to catch any potential errors as quickly as possible!

Go back to the same immigration office at the airport and get it resolved, make sure they load the info into the computer if it hasn’t already been done. That’s what I’d try for.
