Hello all,
I’ve checked the group before penning this message but to no avail; in a slight pickle. Thanks in advance for any help or insight.
I had applied (successfully) and obtained an e-visa, running to 20th March 2025. I showed this to immigration at Krabi on arrival and all was well/approved. However, my friend whom has just arrived (with the same longevity of successful visa), warned me to check the stamp listed in my passport, that was added by immigration, as he’d heard a couple of horror stories and it seems his stamp is only valid for 60 days.
Now checking, the stamp in my passport, reflects that it’s “valid until” the 2nd December, I.e only 60 days.
With this context, the question is, as presumably immigration will go by the stamp over any e-visa or QR code I share, how can I remedy this? Is it as simple as an immigration office or returning back to the airport for them to “override” or re-stamp my passport with the correct, deferred date?
Sorry if this had been posted before. Feeling a bit anxious. Any help is hugely hugely appreciated 🙏🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about their Thai visa stamp, which only indicates a validity of 60 days despite having applied for a long-term e-visa valid until March 2025. They seek advice on rectifying the situation, fearing immigration will prioritize the stamp over their e-visa. Community responses clarify that the 60-day stamp aligns with the rules of a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV), allowing for multiple entries within six months but requiring departure or extension before the 60 days expire. Users suggest confirming details at an immigration office or extending the visa while inside Thailand.
