ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS; Bad Entry Stamps :/
We have gotten a couple posts where people noticed they got stamped in with bad entry stamps (giving them more time then they're allowed WEEKS after they stamped in :(
Just so EVERYONE is totally clear, IF you get stamped in wrong, (for more time than you're supposed to get when you enter) you CANNOT stay until the date on your stamp.
You are 100% responsible to make sure you're stamped in correctly, so check your stamp BEFORE you walk away from passport control..
One other thing, MOST (but not all) offices will correct a bad air entry stamp for you, although they are not obligated to and can send you back to the entry airport if they want to
BUT
the rule about land entry stamps is; if they're wrong you go back to the border crossing that bad stamped you and get it corrected THERE. As a rule immigration offices inside the country won't correct a bad land entry stamp
Keep in mind IF you run on overstay due to you not paying attention and thinking you could stay here as long as you were bad stamped in for, you WILL be charged overstay, and when you do apply for an extension it will start from the date your real stamp should have ran out on.
One last time people
Check your entry stamp when the hand your passport back to you at passport control. Don't care how busy they are, how tired you are, you want to avoid problems CHECK YOUR STAMPS..
