Is it normal not to receive an entry stamp in Thailand with a Non-O visa?
Good Morning . I have a question? This Sunday I landed at Suvarnabhumi. I have a non “O biased on marriage. I also had a reentry permit.When I went through immigration they did not stamp my passport or the arrival card on entry into Thailand . Is this going to be normal now ? After I went through immigration and I seen no entry stamp I went back and the officer said it was ok .

does not sound correct, There must be a stamp inside your passport with date of entry and Admitted until date.

Than you not even have a VISA but an Extension of Stay a big stamp you got from Immigration. using the correct terminology helps a lot if you want information. Here the difference between a visa and an Extension of Stay. BTW you never ever renew this, you apply every year for a NEW Extension of Stay:

@Francis *******
That is what every Police officer or Immigration Officer is going to tell you if you DO NOT have the entry stamp. But I can only say, fix this at the nearest Immigration Office. Good luck.Francis ********
OPI will never enter a country illegally
Francis ********
OP@Robert ******
no I did not you don’t understand what I just trying to explainRobert *******
Without an entry stamp, you simply entered Thailand illegal.
Robert *******
Try to explain than? You keep on telling you don't have an entry stamp. Well, you need an entry stamp and if it is not in your passport visit your local Immigration Office as soon as possible to correct this.
Francis ********
OPOk Robert sir .I respect your advice but I don’t think you understand Sir
Robert *******
Nice for you but having a Non O has nothing to do with getting an entry stamp when you enter Thailand. Check your passport page by page, the officer is wrong there must be a stamp in your passport.
Francis ********
OPI talked to an immigration officer and said it was ok with no stamp in
Francis ********
OPNo but I have non o
Francis ********
OPThis is the first time I never was giving a stamp into Thailand
Robert *******
Yes, when you enter Thailand you get a square stamp with date of entry Admitted until ../../.. date, like this example. Do you have this stamp?
Francis ********

OP@Robert ******

Okay, so you have the entry stamp in your passport but not on your TM 6 Departure card. Not having the stamp on the TM 6 Departure card is no problem.
Robert *******
What is inside my passport does not going to help you. Check your passport, there must be an entry stamp.
