Hello Gentlemen,

I have a 1 year multiply entry visa which will expires on 24 Dec 2023. I arrived into Thailand 3 days and discover today in my passport was stamped  only for 30 days. Last day being 5 Aug 2023. What should I do should I want remain here till Dec ?

Answer summary

The user mistakenly received a 30-day visa-exempt entry stamp instead of the correct entry that allows them to stay until December 24, 2023, under a yearly extension with a re-entry permit. Community advice suggests checking stamps immediately after entry to avoid issues. The user should visit the airport immigration office where they were stamped incorrectly, as it is the quickest way to resolve the issue. Alternatively, they can go to the local immigration office.

UPDATE; Just to let everyone know Julian was NOT on any one year multi-entry visa, 😮

They were on a yearly extension with a re-entry permit that was valid until Dec 24, 2023. When they stamped in the officer didn't notice it and stamped them in on a ผ.30 visa exempt entry. They didn't check their stamp when they walked away from passport control either 😕

They went to the main immigration office in Chiang Mai but they sent him to CNX the airport he was stamped in wrong at (luckily for him it is right by the immigration office) and they corrected the stamp to show he's allowed to be here until Dec 24th 2023..

Lesson to everyone; CHECK YOUR STAMP when you get stamped in BEFORE you walk away from passport control..

@Ellie ******

the poster expected to be stamped in/ stay till December, but likely will only be stamped in 90 days at a time, unless they have OA visa.

if they have an extension of stay they'll be stamped in until it expires

You got stamped in wrong (it happens a lot) . .. Which is why we tell people to CHECK their stamps before walking away from passport control

If you're near the airport you flew in to go back there <- that is the FASTEST WAY to correct a bad stamp.

Otherwise go to the immigration office in the area where you stay and get it corrected there..
