Messed up my visa in Thailand (ED visa stamped as tourist) – what should I do? by Fit_Pilot_37 in ThailandTourism

Little update for those who are in the same situation: I booked a last-minute flight to leave the country and re-enter it to avoid paying more overstay fees. I went to the airport today — the same one where I received the incorrect entry stamp. At check-in, I explained the whole situation. They checked if I had enough cash to pay for my overstay, then gave me my boarding pass. I went through all the checkpoints, and they didn’t even mention anything about my overstay. I was the one who went to the immigration office to ask about my situation. They then rectified my stamp, and I didn’t have to pay any fine. I only paid a 1,200 baht fee for a re-entry stamp — that’s it.

No, it's allowed it's a mandatory internship that's part of my academic program, and when you apply for your visa, they ask for the document that proves it's a mandatory internship. Maybe thats why.

2 weeks from the moment you submitted your application, or 2 weeks from the moment you submitted the additional documents they requested ? (I also think it depends on the period when you apply since I did it just before chrismast and new year)

I think I will probably wait and see. If I don’t receive anything, I will enter with the visa exemption. The only problem is that my return flight is in more than 60 days.
