Is it normal to not receive an exit stamp when leaving Thailand?
My passport did not get a “out” stamp when I left Thailand, Is this normal?
Answer summary
Many travelers are concerned about not receiving an exit stamp when leaving Thailand, especially when using electronic gates. According to various comments, it is becoming common for passengers to not receive an 'out' stamp as their travel records are maintained electronically in the immigration system. Some users confirmed their experiences of leaving through automated gates without stamps, suggesting that this is standard practice now, especially at busy airports like Suvarnabhumi. However, some travelers reported still receiving stamps when exiting from other locations or when using manual processing. It is advisable to keep boarding passes or other documentation as proof of departure.

did you use the automatic gates?

After reading all the comments I think it depends where you exit from. CNX still stamps out.

It happened to me also leaving savarnabhumi in October.
I asked the immigration office
Who was directing everyone to use self scanning gate what about exit stamp.
She replied, No need..

Yes did you get an "in" stamp where you were going. If it was electronically done there is record of you leaving

I wrote the date I departed just below my entry stamp, so in the future I will know when I left Thailand.

In September when I left Suvarnabhumi it was the same for me through electronic gate. I kept my boarding pass just in case.

180 days, But when I returned to Thailand they didn't put the stamp indicating the day I have to leave, is it normal?

Check again, you should have a 60 day entry "TR60" stamp (I hope you didn't expect a 180 day stamp).

yes I understand how it works but I'd rather have the stamps, otherwise I have no record.Jason ******
@Gary *******
when you scan there system sees it and if for example you have overstayed the gate won't open.this type of system has been in the UK and many countries for a few years now,also at Singapore airport ,it's all part of cutting back on staff and human contact ,scan and computer system handles it all.Jason ********

@Jason *******
so, child, if they stop and question you based on your book, they would need a computer to reconcile the electronic files with the stamps. Last time (just a few weeks ago). They had no computer. Don't be condescending.Jason ********
@Gary *******
your American sir, don’t try and understand. It’s for your own good.Gary ********
@Jason *******
ignorant and arrogant go together as usual. The four agents that took me and another person aside had no computer.Jason ********
@Gary *******
sorry Gary you were never the smartest kid at school either.They don’t reconcile anything, the agent manually checks the stamped in date and check out date.
They always HAVE a computer to take fingerprints and a photo before you leave.
Stop lying about having no computer.

Last departed in May, normal immigration procedure, got an exit stamp.So in February upon my return, I most likely will use the newly installed automated facilities.
Don't need to research, just go with flow...and learn along the way.
