Hummingbird Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is the third year I have received a 1 yr. multiple entry Non O in America prior to coming to Thailand. The first two years immigration in BKK stamped 90 days on both my passport and departure card upon entry. This year I entered Thailand in CNX and the date stamped on both passport and departure card is 1 year from the date of entry. I even questioned the immigration officer and he smiled and said yes. I am assuming that he made a mistake and that I must exit the country and reenter prior to 90 days. Not sure what to do as the date stamped is clearly one year.

PoorSucker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Non immigrant O gives 90 days per entry. Non immigrant O-A gives 1 year per entry. Which do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Non 0. It is not retirement. Purpose is to care for Thai friend with cancer. The officer even wrote on top of the departure card Non 0 and then circled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You need to go to immigration and get your stamp corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I did not have to show proof of anything. I however did write a letter to the consulate explaining the circumstances. Just wondering what happens if I didn't do a border run and left in late April as planned. It is clearly one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If you try to use the one year there is good chance they would charge you for an overstay. They consider it your responsibility to check that your stamps are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Instead of trip to CM Immigration, couldn't I just do a border run prior to my first 90 days? I would imagine it would get corrected upon reentry - yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You can do a border run just before your 90 days is over and return and get a 90 entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
