Hi friends, I'm French and the proud holder of a DTV visa for myself and my entire family.

I first entered the country alone in September.

They gave me an entry stamp with 6 months validity.

However, I only stayed 15 days and now I'm back in France, and nobody has stamped my exit visa!

This means that on my passport, I only have the date of entry, even though I left the country via the airport.

I'm going back with my family this time, at the end of October.

Question: Have any of you already left the country without getting the exit date stamp?

I'm not worried, anyway with all the controls at the airport, they clearly know that I've left and on what date. I just want to know if this has already happened to some of you.

Thanks guys :)

Answer summary

A French expat with a DTV visa expresses concerns about leaving Thailand without an exit stamp on their passport. They received a 6-month entry stamp upon arrival but exited the country without a documented exit date. Other users confirm that using e-gates at the airport results in no exit stamp being issued, and exit information is recorded electronically. Concerns about the absence of a physical exit stamp seem unfounded, as the immigration system tracks entries and exits accurately.

Unless the officer you had forgot to stamp your passport (extremely rare, I've never had it happen anywhere in Thailand) then you most likely used the e-gates to exit so obviously there's no stamp.

If you're French, I'm surprised you wouldn't be aware of e-gates, considering all of Europe has had them for years for both entry and departure and passport stamps are no longer given to EU/Schengen citizens. In fact, it's been like 15-20 years since EU/Schengen passports were last routinely stamped, either on entry or exit.

Thank you for your feedback. Since I had the Monkeypox vaccine, I feel like I'm losing my memory, maybe that's it… 🐒

Anonymous participant But yeah, if you went through the e-gates, no issue at all.

For better or worse, eventually all passport stamps will be eliminated not only in Thailand but worldwide.

Already sometime next year, passport stamps on entry will start to disappear in Thailand as e-gates will begin to allow foreigners to use them.

If you used the e-gates, there would have been no stamp. If you were manually processed, 100% there would have been a stamp.

There is unless you use the e-gates, which I never have.

I don't remember whether I used the e-gates or not, but I was not stamped when I went out. That was on August, and I entered on a single tourist visa, if that matters, as I'm not from any of the countries that can enter visa free.

There is no more exit stamp on egates but all is in their system. When you’ll enter again you’ll just get again 6 months stamp every time
