pleple62 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 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 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, if you go to immigration, chances are they'll fix it for you and make it 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Topic closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
