ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello. I entered with a valid Single-Entry Non-Immigrant B Visa, but noticed after I went through immigration that the officer gave me a regular "W. 30" entry stamp on one of my passport pages, and didn't stamp the visa itself. Is this a problem?

Thanks for your help. 🙏

You're not the first person who didn't check their arrival stamp before they walked away from passport control stamping into the country and I have a feeling you won't be the last either ;)

You need to go to the closest immigration off and get your stamp corrected AND get the Non-B visa canceled. It's free

. Same for me. I did it two weeks ago at changwattana. They have a form. You have to fill out and get your ticket. They will change your stamp.
