ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights the author's experience with using eDeparture gates upon exiting Thailand while holding a non-O visa with a re-entry stamp. Other users confirm that there are typically no issues with using the eDeparture gates if the passport successfully scans and captures a photo, pointing out that a hard departure stamp is not necessary for re-entry. Some confusion arises regarding why the author was directed to an immigration officer rather than being allowed to use the eDeparture gates directly.
