Visa Problem

[drm200]

I arrived in Thailand on a flight from Manila to Bangkok on May 1.   I assumed that I was given a 30 day visa free entry on arrival.  I was planning to go to Pattaya immigration tomorrow May 23 for a 30 day extension.

 

However, upon looking at my passport this evening, I find that they only gave me a stamp valid until May 20.    I have a flight leaving Bangkok for Amsterdam on June 21.

So now I am wondering, what are my options when I go to immigration to get this sorted out.

 

I have been a frequent visitor to Thailand, but have not been in the country since late October of last year.   I have never had any kind of issues in the country.

• If you were entitled to 30 days then you can get the error corrected at immigration and should do so asap. You should have had permission to stay until May 30.
• As you are near the end of the 30 days they will probably process a 30 day extension of stay at the same time, which should apply from the end of the (corrected) 30 day stay.

Your stamp is incorrect, should be 30 days. Ask for help at immigration.
