What should I do if immigration can't read the stamp in my passport in Thailand?

Keep on topic boyz (

Those I/O's work incredibly hard under challenging circumstances!

mostly but Don Mueang aren't adverse to a wrong stamp either.

I've got more alterations in my passport than Sevey Ballasteros had gold clubs 😂

@T**

it was more the fact i was thinking they had put the visa through the system, failed to cross it through and used the wrong stamp. I'm not sure then what would happen if you tried to use the visa again.

I hear the airports have been busy this week so could of been some distraction. I guess at the end of the day its much of a muchness. Either go to Bangkok or do a visa run.

He should have checked his passport to avoid that mess.

That's why I wanted them to state whether the stamp was a ผ.30 <- which is the 30 day visa exempt entry stamp, OR a TR. because if they didn't strike thru their visa and give them a TR stamp (even if they dated it wrong) they're only here on a visa exempt entry.

I had a guy a couple weeks ago who entered at the southern land border and was stamped in without using his tourist visa. He tried to get the stamp corrected in Bangkok and they wouldn't let him, so he waited 30 days, went to the Phu Nam Ron border with Myanmar, stamped out of thailand in&out of Myanmar and then right back IN to thailand on his un-used tourist visa from penang. :O They stamped him in for 60 days on it without a problem.

^ which means

IF you didn't get the visa struck out with a pen and stamped used you didn't USE it and are here on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp.

In fact I'd bet that your entry stamp has ผ.30 on it not TR. <- is that correct?

nothing wrong with my stamps, but thanks. I'm good for another 90 days. Been here almost two years. Teaching . I hope to get out of BKK and go North next year in April when my wife retires from teaching. She has a house and a few acres there.

....and please get it fixed sooner rather than later!

Good luck with your stamp correction Thomas!

I reported once in the wrong district. That one is on my Thai wife. but it worked out, but the drivers license agent made it very difficult on me .

I'm lucky to have never had a difficult agent while living here full time....

yes big difference they correct mistakes by hand all the time. I have one hand written correction in my passport. We all know that from time to time we have to deal with difficult agents.

Considerable difference between a yellow book and a passport stamp, but DO try and please report back....Good Luck :-)

does not hurt to try. in my yellow book yhe listed me as Canadian not American. I went back the next day and a different person crossed out Canada and wrote in American

Good luck with that!!

You can hope, but it did not work that way. Now it is time for the alternative option.
