tomx2 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi. I received a double entry tourist visa (by mail) from the Royal Thai Honorary Consulate-General in Boston Mass USA. I usually go to the New York Thai Embassy but they were only offering single entry TV. From what I notice (in my passport) between the Thai embassy vs. a Thai Consulate, is the embassy staples a typed sticker to your passport while a Consulate stamps your passport and fills in the dates and entries with a pen. The double entry visa I received from the Consulate-General in Boston shows the enter before date and Issue date having a format date of m-d-yy. From all the stamps I previously received from the Embassy in New York and Cambodia it appears as d-m-yy. I sent an email to the Honorary Boston Consulate General asking would there be a problem with Thai immigration in Bangkok seeing the date on a Tourist Visa stamp as m-d-yy format. The consulate-general(maybe taking offense to my question) responded to me in bold letters No Never!. With no other comments. We Americans see/write dates in mm-dd-yyyy format, but I would have assume the Thai Consulates in the USA would use the date format of d-m-yy for travelers to SEA. Question: 1. Has anyone ever had a Visa stamp from a U.S. Consulate-General with the format date of m-d-yy ? 2. If yes, what problems did you encounter with Thai immigration? I would think Thai Immigration must have seen this date format in visas from other Americans. But I don’t know if all U.S. consulates adhere to a conventional standard when it comes to writing the date in a visa. stamp Thanks. TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horneytorney Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 should be no problem. Thais are not so consistent and using different format of dates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
