Tapster Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I came back into Thailand on 1st December to extend my O-A visa by one year. The 'enter before' date was 2nd December 2015. I was expecting an extension until end November 2016. Imagine my surprise when I checked the stamp and saw 29th November 2018! I shit you not! I have attached an enlarged scan of the stamp. It certainly appears to show 2018 quite clearly. Can I rely on this date, which is presumably a mistake on the part of the immigration officer? Opinions, please.

JoeW Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Had the same once with my Non B. They extended it for 3 years instead of 2. Went back to Immigration to ask them to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post arkom Posted December 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2015 Maybe just me, but looks like it says 2016 not 2018 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ldiablo Posted December 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2015 The stamp is obviously 2016. You should immediately go to see an optometrist. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahjongguy Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Even if it said 2018, which is definitely does not, it would be an error which is your responsibility to get corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) All said. An optical deception But a much better easteregg hidden here! Its a proof that the Non O-A gives a 365 day stamp, not a one year stamp. Got it? 2016 is a leap year. For a normal year the stamp should show "30 NOV ...." To add to the immigration logic: extensions are one year, not 365 days. Edited December 3, 2015 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It's 2016. Even if it did say 2018, apparently, you couldn't stay that long without overstaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The stamp has clearly the year 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
