Guitar God Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have a valid and unused 3 month B visa in my passport and even though I opened it to the page when I gave it to the immigration officer, he flipped it back a page and stamped a 1 month visa stamp. I had a long flight and didn't think to doublecheck and just noticed it today. I have an appointment with my lawyer on Friday but I'm curious what I should do. Can I go back to the airport and have them stamp it or do I need to leave and come back and specifically ask them to stamp the correct visa?

overherebc Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Did you write the visa number on the arrivals card. If not then he would automatically stamp 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 You can go to your local immigration office to have it corrected. Bangkok immigration even has a special desk to fix wrong stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I've filled out so many cards and left the visa field blank I forgot to fill it in this time. My fault. Khun Joe- Thanks for the info. Do I need to go to the airport or are there other locations ( in Ubon or bkk)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) You can go to any immigration office. Best to go to the one where you are living. Not the airport. Edited November 20, 2013 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 My lawyer got it sorted. I changed it to a multiple entry while we were there. It took less than 2 hours. Next time I'm double checking my stamp before I say thanks and leave the immigration officer's window. The consulate where I applied said I could only get a single entry visa, my lawyer said I could pay for a multiple entry visa while I was there, I'm glad he advised that.

ubonjoe Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 You got a re-entry permit not a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 It looks like you applied for and received a Multiple Re Entry Permit valid for 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yes, permit, not visa. I had a 3 month visa, it just didn't get stamped when I arrived. Now I also have a multiple reentry permit valid for the time the visa is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
