For all people entering with a DTV: double check the IO stamps the correct dates!
I just realized my DTV was stamped in for only 5 months instead of 180 days 🤦♂️
I entered via land border and i’m now very far away from there. TBH i’m not even planning to stay the full 5 months.
Should i even try to get it fixed at the nearest immigration office?
In fact, my calculation says it’s only 149 days. This already includes the start and end dates.
Start date: October 7, 2024
End date: March 4, 2025
UPDATE JAN 2025: Got my visa stamp fixed at my local Chiang Mai immigration office while doing 90 day report.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster discovered that their Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) was mistakenly stamped for only 5 months instead of the full 180 days upon entry via a land border. They expressed uncertainty about whether to pursue a correction at a nearby immigration office. Community comments emphasized the importance of checking entry stamps immediately and noted that while correcting an air entry stamp is generally possible at any immigration office, correction of a land entry stamp is not guaranteed. Eventually, the poster successfully corrected their stamp at the Chiang Mai immigration office. The thread also addressed questions about the DTV and shared advice on managing immigration issues tied to border crossings.
