retsdon Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I went over the border at Maesai ten days ago after flying in 28 days previously. Everything was as per usual - filled out the form, waited in line, got the passport stamped. The immigration officer never said a word. Yesterday I looked in my passport to double check when to go back this week and discovered that instead of the usual 14 days, I'd been given 28! Curious, I went to the immigration office in Chiang Rai today to find out the score and it seems I should get a 60 day family visitor stamp instead of doing my usual bi- monthly booze buying border runs ( I didn't even know that such a stamp existed ). No problem at all (the officer was very polite and helpful) - but I still think the guy at the border might have said something. Anyway, the reason I''m posting this is as a heads-up to anyone who recently came through a land border. Your stamp might not be for the customary 14 days, and it might be an idea to check your passport. It may save you a premature journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Depending on your nationality you either get 15 days or 30 days at a land border if you qualify for a visa exempt entry. You don't get 60 days at the border, you get it when applying for an extension at an immigraiton office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordblackader Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 No such thing as a 14 or 28 day stamp, it's 15 or 30 days depending on where you are from. That said, was in Maesai Sunday to activate my second entry on a tourist visa and the customers officers there can't count dates. I exited on 6 July and only later did I notice that I was stamped back in until 3 September, despite a 60 day entry visa, 2 days shy of what it should have been.
