I received my 90 day visa but noticed a small error . The date is birth is incorrect, an error of one year 1956 instead of 1955 .

Is this likely to be a problem and if so what should I do ?
Answer summary
The user is concerned about a small error on their 90-day Thai visa where the date of birth is recorded incorrectly by one year. Responses in the comments suggest that such minor errors typically do not cause issues at entry; however, it's advisable to print the electronic visa and present it along with the passport at immigration. There is also a concern that the embassy may not correct the mistake once the visa is issued and might require the user to apply for a new visa, potentially incurring additional costs. It is also suggested to contact the consulate for guidance, as the error might pose risks for future visa extensions.

Sadly there is no way for an embassy to correct errant data on a visa once it's issued, and I'd bet they will make you apply for a new visa entirely meaning you pay again.

BUT

You're out nothing by contacting them

I would contact the consulate. Even if you’re allowed entry at the airport it is also a risk for any in country extensions.

as a rule "small" mistakes like that seem to not cause a problem with people entering on eVisas.

Print the PDF they emailed you (as that is your visa) give it with your passport to the officer when you stamp in and you should get stamped in for 90 days.
