Officer mistakenly stamped the wrong day and And over staying now

[nix]

Hi,

 

So here is my case.

Today is the day I am supposed to have my 90days report. So I went to our local immigration office, to my surprised I had found out that I am overstaying and the officer told me that this is the fault of the officer stampi during arrival.

 

So, I went on vacation abroad. I also have applied for re-entry permit(because I have a working visa and work permit valid til late october)

 

So it seems that the officer from my arrival did not see my re-entry permit and stamped me for only 30days. 

 

Shockingly, I also just found out today. Our local immigration suggested me to go to the aiport now and expain what is happening.

 

I'm on my way to the airport now.

 

Please advise on my situation

 

Thanks

Not sure why they sent you to the airport. They could of fixed the stamping error at the office. They do it all the time.

You should always check your entry stamp prior to leaving the arrival immigration area. They do make mistakes.

I assume you put your re-entry permit number on the arrival card in the space for visa number.

I the past I have come through the airport.

They have stamped the incorrect visa date.

This has happened twice..

 

I read some advice  on TV..to always check before you leave the desk....

 

You learn as you go...

when this happened the person went back to where the mistake was first made

and they corrected it there...

happened to me recently. Never bothered to check before but same as you, after reading on TV this time i checked. The officer had stamped the wrong month. i didn't wait at the counter but checked once i walked through. i went straight back to him and he corrected it with profuse apologise.

 

Sorry OP, can't give you any advice on your situation.

Went to the airport in the re-entry. Explained to the officer. They fixed it there. Thanks

Seriously, how does anyone not know the date stamped in their passport of when their stay expires? Let alone when you go in to immigration, you would surely look at the date of your stamp before you go there....
