What should I do if I forgot to show my DTV paperwork upon entering Thailand?
Hi, I obtained a DTV from the Thai embassy in London.
I printed a copy to travel with but we had a super rushed transit through BKK to our onward flight for Krabi and I completely forgot to show the paperwork, I mistakenly believed it would be on their system as soon as my passport was scanned.
Subsequently my very travel weary brain decided it would be a good idea to check my passport and my stamp was just the 60 day one.
Has anyone had a similar experience and could offer advice on the best course of action? Many thanks

Answer summary
The user obtained a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) but forgot to present it during a rushed transit in Bangkok, resulting in only receiving a 60-day entry stamp. They seek advice on the best course of action after this mistake. Comments suggest options like returning to the airport to correct the stamp, visiting a local immigration office for assistance, or considering a border bounce to activate a new entry on the DTV.

In theory, you go back to the entry point to correct the entry stamp.
No downside to going to the local immigration office to see if they can correct your stamp. The worst thing would be they say "No, you have to go to the airport you entered Thailand".
As you have a multiple entry visa, it could be easier just to go border bounce to activate a new entry on DTV than go back to the airport in Bangkok to correct the current stamp.
