I did my yearly extension today in, based on a non O. Does anyone know why I got a 13 month extension?

We have three reports that all extension of stays being on September 27, 2020. I don't see the reason to keep this thread open longer.

However, your passport is your responsibility, and if you think you are stamped wrong, contact your immigration office.

It can happen that occasionally you get stamped incorrectly (e.g. additional months, years etc.) - if that's the case it is your responsibility to go back to immigration and make them aware of it and have them fix it

It would be reassuring to know if other extensions are being dated for September 26

Went to Chiang Mai yesterday and my extension is dated Sep 26, 2021. The issued date is Aug 5, 2020. My last extension was to end on August 14, 2020. I came on a Non-OA and my insurance runs out on August 14, 2021. Let's see what happens next year.

This new amnesty started on Monday, and there hasn't been many reports yet. I'm curious about it as well.

What's your immigration office?

If you're concerned they may have put in the wrong stamp, I recommend going back to your immigration office and confirm the stamp is correct. After all, it is your passport, and your responsibility to make sure all the stamps are correct.

Yes, I did ask the young lady, who seemed to be inexperienced, as I was leaving and she said no problem, September 26.
