sexyman Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I returned back to Thailand last week after visiting my hometown and making a new passport. I showed the IO at Don Muang both my old and new passports. The IO didn't stamp "used" on the single re entry permit. A few days later I went to the local immigration office for transfer of my retirement visa into the new passport and gave them both old and new passports, they gave me a number card and asked me to return the next day to collect it. I returned to the room to discover that they transferred the visa and also gave me a multiple re entry stamp, a mistake as I originally had a single re entry and never had a multiple. Next week I will be traveling to Singapore for a few days. Should I return to the immigration office and point out the mistake, or should I chance it with the multiple stamp that was issued in error. Do airport immigration have details of re entry stamps on their system? Any advice greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I will be interested in experts replies. Seems like you have a multiple reentry by mistake/luck However if noticed somehow by imm you risk starting all over. Ummm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I would get it sorted. If the computer entry does not match the stamp there might be problems on leaving Thailand that render your Extension cancelled. Yes it is 3800 baht, yes maybe you get the opportunity to get a re-entry permit at the airport. Just remember, it will be your mistake as the IOs don't make any!

Do it as soon as you can after getting your new PP. To the OP, did they charge you 3800 baht for the new re-entry permit?

quandow Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 A few years ago, entering Thailand on a retirement re-entry, Swampy Immigration mis-stamped my passport by a couple of days which I didn't notice. Three or four months later, when I went to Jomtien Immigration to get a new re-entry stamp, they discovered the mistake. The IO even admitted it was their (Swampy Immigration's) fault, but they wouldn't do anything about it. This negated my "retirement visa" and I had to go through the whole extension of stay dance. With these clowns, it's always a crap shoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexyman Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 They did not charge me anything. It seems that because the IO didn't stamp "used" the clerk at immigration put the re entry stamp in again, but this time a multiple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to do the run around at the airport luckily when I got 30 instead of 90 days and noticed it before I left. Before anyone jumps yes I did put the visa number on the TM 6 and wrote 90 days and said gowsip wan. They still tried to make it feel like it was my fault asking them to correct it.

He doesn't have a reentry permit anymore as is was used. Should not have had it transfered. He needs new reentry permit before flying to Singapore.
