Misunderstood visa stamp in passport and have overstayed for 14 days, am I screwed?

! UPDATE !

Just excited the immigration centre and everything went well. Before I could say anything she asked if I had mistaken the 90 report date for the visa date, which is what happened.

I confirmed and added what I dumbshit I’d been for not realizing my mistake sooner.
In any case, she said it was okay and just had me pay the fine (6500 baht that could’ve been used better) and that was it. No deportation, no arrest, nothing.

The fact it went so smoothly might have had something to do with I’m on an ED visa, and not a tourist one. But it seems clear, after a short conversation about it, that they don’t take deportation lightly and uses it as a last resort for those who actively do not give a shit about the rules.

But I digress. A huge thank you to all who offered help and/or a kind word. I wish you the best!

END UPDATE!

They stapled a small paper notice in my passport that says 21st of April, but I just noticed the stamp next to it says 1st of March.

It was an honest mistake and I’m going to immigration first thing in the morning.
I’m on an ED visa, if that helps. Will call my school when I wake up as well.

Any advice or stories? I’m legitimately really scared right now.
