My friend is in country and unable to get back to Pattaya his retirement visa expires on 18/4. Will it be ok for him to do this whenever he returns ?? Or will he run risk of fine for overstay and not be able to apply for another retirement visa. Any help be greatly appreciated.

Got a wrong/ different stamp and not sure what to do next..

I have an Israeli passport. Two months ago I entered Thailand without a visa, and got the 30 days pass. A month after I went to the immigration, and got 30 more days. The plan was to go to Chengdu right after but due to Corona virus and because as many others here I also fell in love with Thailand (😊),I wanted to stay longer. Through this group I learned that the only thing available is one more extension of 7 days.

So today I went to immigration, and filed a form with request for 7 days. Under reasons I wrote "plans changed due to Corona "

Paid 1900 baht, and then got the passport back. When I got home I noticed that instead of getting an extension until February 18, it says March 18!

So now I wonder- is that a random mistake (and if so should I do something about it ), or am I extremely lucky and really got another extra month? Could it be related to the virus ?

EDIT- to those who commented that I should just go with the stamp - but what about their documentation on me in the computer? What if I'll leave Thailand in March and suddenly they will want to charge me for many overstay days- should the stamp alone be enough to avoid that? 🙏

Thank you
