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.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

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?
