Hi everyone, 

I'm about to apply for DTV. I'm in South Africa but didn't get an entry stamp into my passport as I used an e-gate to scan my passport. Is that a problem?

The user is concerned about the lack of an entry stamp in their passport, as they used an e-gate for entry into Thailand while applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). Commenters assure that the absence of an entry stamp should not pose a problem and suggest various alternative methods to verify current location.

No where does it say you need an entry stamp in your passport. If this concerns ways to prove your current location, then there are plenty of other options to use.

Are you a local? Or a foreigner? If they need something else, they'll ask.

Have decided to go in on visa exempt and take the next 3 months gathering online work proof. Will come back to Cape Town in December and apply for DTV then.
