ORIGINAL POSTER

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

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user discovered that their Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) entry was incorrectly stamped for only 5 months instead of the expected 180 days. They are currently far from the land border where they entered and are uncertain whether to seek correction at a nearby immigration office. Comments highlight that correcting entry stamps is more feasible for air entries than land entries, and they may not assist with corrections in this case.

Keep in mind if you're "bad stamped" this is how it works

You can correct ANY bad AIR entry stamp at the immigration office where you stay

BUT

if you have a bad LAND entry stamp the immigration office where you stay is NOT obligated in any way to correct it, they can decline and tell you to go back to the border that bad stamped you to fix it

ALWAYS LOOK at your entry stamp, hundreds of people get bad stamped every week and believe it or not it is !00% YOUR responsibility to get stamped in correctly <- as it's your passport 😛

Hmm. That is strange. Why do they treat air and land arrivals differently?

dunno but I know person after person bad stamped at land borders who were told "go back and get it fixed" by their local immigration office..

Sometimes they'll correct bad land stamps but sometimes they even send bad air stamps back to the airport you flew in at..

because April (4) 3rd would be the right date. Somehow the officer flipped it.

If you plan to leave before the stamp date then I'd just forget about it. You could ask at a local immigration office if they would adjust the stamp, unlikely tho since it's a land crossing.
