TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the need for a digital ETA visa for entering Thailand, given that their passport stamp is valid until January 15. Responses clarify that the ETA has not yet been implemented, and the validity of a passport stamp is contingent on the individual's status after leaving the country. Additionally, if the stamp is for visa exemption, it cannot be reused once the user has exited Thailand, and they will need to obtain a new exemption upon arrival.

Your stamp doesn't men anything if you've already left the country.

There is no ETA for Thailand.

Just fly back like you did last time.

If the stamp is your visa exemption then it can’t be reused. You will get a new exemption when you arrive, unless immigration choose otherwise.

The stamp means it is the last day You must leave Thailand.

ETA hasn't started yet... probably somewhere in 2025. What do you mean by "passport stamp"? Do you have an active visa with multiple entry or an extension with re-entry permit?
