What should I do if the Thai immigration officer made a mistake with my DTV visa stamp?
Hello all. I arrived Thailand today and am an ASEAN passport holder. The immigration officer gave me until 2 December to stay here but I have a DTV visa
Answer summary
A traveler arrived in Thailand as an ASEAN passport holder with a DTV visa yet was given a short stay stamp until 2 December. Community members advised that the individual should verify if they presented the DTV visa to the immigration officer and suggested immediately reporting the issue. If it's a stamping mistake, going back to the original entry point or visiting a local immigration office might help. Some suggested the option of temporarily leaving Thailand and re-entering while ensuring to present the DTV visa properly this time.

Did you have $10 us note inside your passport? Always gets me the right result.

Why didn't you say something while you was at the airport?

take Brandon's advice, exit Thailand and re-enter, TAKE THOZE STOOPID GREEN GLASSES OFF YER NOSE and make sure this time you show the Immigration officer a printout of your DTV and CHECK DA STAMP on the spot if it is correct or not

Yes, you'd better inform them immediately to correct the visa.

That means they made a mistake. It happens all the time. It's your responsibility to check your stamp in your passport every single time you get a new stamp. Immigration officers are humans and they make mistakes. You'll likely need to go back to where you got your stamp to get it fixed. Or just do a border bounce to leave the country and return again, this time making sure you also give them your printed out visa if it's an e-visa and making sure you get the correct stamp upon entering again.

I beg to differ on the human part.

You will need to go back to the airport and show them your DTV e-visa.
It's a stamping mistake or you did not show your e-visa.
If it's a stamping mistake then a local immigration office may help you.
In most cases you will need to go back to the entry point and see if they will fix.
Otherwise you will need to use it on your next entry.
You present the evisa document and your passport together to the entry officer.
It's a stamping mistake or you did not show your e-visa.

Did you show / present your DTV to the immigration officer? Always check the stamp immediately. Not sure how to proceed fixing this now.
