Looking for some advice. I am here in Thailand on an OA visa which expires on July 17. The entry stamp on my passport says valid until 13/1/21.
I have been to two immigration offices ( Trat and Surin ) and they both assured me that my stay in Thailand, because of the stamp date, was legal until January 2021.
I would hate to arrive at BKK and be told that I am an overstay.
Expert advice please?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is concerned about the validity of their OA visa and the implications of their entry stamp which allows them to stay in Thailand until January 13, 2021. Comments clarify that while the OA visa expires on July 17, the entry stamp permits their stay until January 2021, suggesting they need to understand the difference between 'valid until' and 'admitted until'. Users also advise on the necessity of obtaining a re-entry permit if leaving the country after the visa expiration. The conversation highlights the importance of staying informed about visa statuses, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
