Thai Visa Extension Visa Regulations Immigration Process TM30 Form COVID-19 Visa Policies

ORIGINAL POSTER

Got my visa extension for 30 days yesterday in Bangkok， easy process.  The stamp has two dates on it.  Seems to indicate that I have to absolutely leave the country by April 19th, 2023.   Never seen that before.  Just curious under what circumstances the second date is stamped on?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user successfully obtained a 30-day visa extension in Bangkok but noticed that two dates were stamped on the extension. The community discussed that it's not uncommon for incorrect dates to be stamped and later corrected with a strike-through and initials by the immigration officer. The conversation also touched on the requirement of a TM30 form and the timeline for applying for visa extensions, especially in the context of ongoing COVID-19 extensions.

It was just the wrong date stamped in. and it happens quite a lot actually. it's why the date was struck thru and the officer initialed it.

You applied for a 30 day extension based on clause 2.4 <- tourism and you got the the correct date stamped above the bad one

You could easily argue plausible deniability next year when you try to leave or extend again. 😂

I guess you're so happy with the 395 days that you forgot to ask why the date is crossed and signed and a new period of 30 days came in place?
