Thread: visa error

Don't even think about it - just crack on.

Last time I landed in Samui from KL the dozy Immi guy stamped me in for 30 days but I had a triple entry 90 day visa.

I didn't suss it till I was in Bangkok and was getting told I'd have to go back to Samui to fix it.

Thought fok that so off to head Immi in Bangkok and they sorted it in under an hour.

I like to make sure my visa is spot on and not argue the toss at a later date.

Much better that way.

yes, I had a similar experience but the local Immi office was very kind and sorted it out quickly, with apologies

yes - I learned this many moons ago - always check your stamp immediately after

^Agree with you and Terry. I like to keep it sorted - I would rather take an extra trip to Immigration to get it right than wonder for months if it was eventually going to bite me in the ass.

I'd agree that all the paperwork should be in order (so to speak), but I could never see that being treated with anything more severe than a shrug.

I am not sure that changes anything, as long as you got the correct time etc

you have the visa in your passport that is correct

Thanks for all the responses guys. Went down to immigration this morning just to be on the safe side and the error was sorted out within a couple of mins. Like many have said, well worth it just for the peace of mind alone, may have been ok, but you never know.

Glad it is sorted. I wouldn't leave anything to chance here, not in a fit. At least you now don't have any B O problems.

I had a guy run out of C mai airport one time as hed given abunch of us the wrong date.Also after waiting 2 hrs at Swampy after midnight entered previous day stamped as you have been enjoying Siam she laughed.
