came in with a 6 month multi entry tourist visa issued and pasted into passport from australia, when i went through customs/immigration at Don Mueang airport the officer overlooked the visa page (despite me placing my boarding pass in that page and handing open photo page as a standard proceedure) and stamped me in on a 30 day visa on entry

my issued visa is still valid, and i only noticed this mistake by immigration the other day, 

question ???

could i go to local immigration office to recify the mistake ?

or do you educated people here think i may have to do a visa run to get stamped out then make sure they stamp the correct page on returning?

figuring i could do nothing until near expiry then get the 6 months ?

Go to shange watnnana asap.

Yeah, local immigration next stop, it should be fixed for free.

 

Standard MO is the check your stamp before leaving the immigration desk at the port of entry, far easier to fix it then.

 

Go to CW or DMK.

Yup.

Yes. 

 

Go to chang wattana and change it.  Otherwise you will have to pay huge fines.

There's no such form at airports any longer, since quite a while already.

TM6 arrival card hasn't been required at airports for over 18 months now (still required at land borders)

It's your responsibility to check the stamp you get upon arrival. That being said, if you go to immigration, chances are they'll fix it for you and make it 60 days.

Arrival card is only used at land border crossings

well, well, well not so educated people here, outdated advice, skeletons in the closet, OMG 

well after that post of answers, seems a who knows of who knows about old entry cards, and whos file scan is better argument

after doing what i was going to do if i got no luck here, that being go i to a tourist area immigration office, as you get better english communication from thai officals, the ADVICE punters, come back within a week of expiry, check you out with date stamp, then stamp the valid visa sitting in my passport stamped USED and dated , whammo 6 months multi entry, 60 days at a time, 7 months all up

ALOHA

Nonsense. As you had just written in your previous post, each entry with a multi-entry tourist visa gives you 60 days.

 

Fixing the wrong entry stamp doesn't change the validity / use-by date of the visa in any shape or form.

For future entries, get stamped walk 3 meters stop open Passport check what the IO just did. Easier to fix........

Yeah I've been in and out twice in the last 10 weeks, no TM6.

Right, the last time I left was in late 2019 so that explains the difference. I've just been extending in country since then.

Well... you certainly showed them to be frauds... aren't you proud and special.

You did not understand advice from @CANSIAM .

For future travel (entries) always check your stamp.

 

When io hands back your pp walk away from desk and check you have been given correct stamp "admitted until date"

Also next entry point out your visa page.

 

In any event your question has been answered.
