Hi All. Hope your all well here this evening and avoiding the kung flu! 

Wondering if anyone has any experience of this situation. I either got a very kind officer and lucky or am in for a shock at some point! Sooo. I entered the country on my second (dual) British passport the other day with my other passport in hand and my pink card. The officer asked to see both. I told him.I had swapped passports as my Non-o had expired 10 days previous and I don't have pages for future visas anyway and was trying to enter on a 30 day visa exempt. He was happy/good enough to give me 90 days in my second passport. With a little note saying to carry the old one when I leave next. 

This seems great and all well and good. But I now have  a 90 day stamp based on an expired visa inside a different passport!! I can't decide if I got very lucky or if they are merely giving me a few feel good shots before they lube me up over the barrel!! Any one had similar experience? Thanks eveyone.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user entered Thailand with an expired Non-O visa and received a 90-day stamp in a different passport. They are uncertain if they were lucky or if there may be future repercussions. Commenters advise that the entry stamp is incorrect since the visa had expired, and recommend visiting immigration to correct it to a 30-day visa exempt entry to avoid potential overstay penalties.

If you ask me, I would depart on 06 March at latest, saving the hassle of a trip to local Immigration, and let them correct their own mess upon exit, should they choose to do so.

Good suggestion

(y)

seeing as they're only supposed to be stamped in until the 8th of march (29 days from Feb 8th) IF they were to leave on March 6th that would put them under any overstay on this bad stamp AND would resolve the problem without a trip to the immigration office too :P

and just so everyone IS totally clear, IF you are stamped in wrong (too many days, not enough days etc) it is YOUR responsibility to get the stamp corrected (seeing as it's YOUR passport ;) )

IF you were stamped in for too many days you CANNOT stay the length of time you were stamped in for because when you go to stamp out of the country they'll catch the fact you were stamped in wrong. You will be on overstay and liable for the 500baht a day fine..

yep, you're correct you were stamped in WRONG :O

That visa expired on Jan 30th 2020 and your last entry stamp was Feb 8th (AFTER the visa expired :/ )

You should have gotten ONLY a 30 day visa exempt entry.

GO to the immigration office that serves the area where you live and have them correct the stamp to just a 30 day visa exempt entry.

cheers Tod. Guess that means a trip to Chang wattana then! Thanks for the advise. Guess I was hoping someone had had a similar experience and happy experience of trying to use the 90 days. But I don't really want to be the test pilot so will go get it sorted.

The one with the visa in it. That Nov 30th stamp you can see would be most recent. I was returning from work and so now only have an entry in my other one.

How about you state the "issue date" and the "valid until" date of the Non-O visa in the old passport.

IF you were stamped in wrong it's your responsibility to get the stamp corrected, BUT perhaps the I/O was right and your Non-O visa in the other passport wasn't expired.

What date does your visa sticker say on it? Care to share a picture, so we can clear it up.

visa expired on 30th Jan. I entered 8th Feb using a different passport. Both passports still valid and in date. Just one has no fully blank pages left.

If it was me I'd go to immigration and get the stamp corrected to a 30 day visa exempt as it should be, then get a 60 day extension based on visiting family if I needed to stay for the 90 day period.

If your visa has expired you shouldn't have got 90 days. You didn't get lucky, the IO just messed up and it will be your problem, not his.
