No more exit stamp.

I left Thailand 2 days ago tru BKK airport. Used the automatic gates and didn’t get an exit stamp that way.

I come back in 3 weeks on my METV .

Will there be an issue because no exit stamp i need to prepare for ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The absence of an exit stamp should not pose any issues upon re-entry to Thailand, as your departure is recorded electronically. While some forms require details about your last entry, the immigration authorities are aware of the changes to exit procedures and are likely to accept your situation without complications.

I’m just wondering..

On some Immigration forms - like the TM7, asks for your last date of entry (and place).. While you would know that, as I recall, for all of my past extensions, I’ve always been asked to provide a photocopy of the passport page that has that entry stamp on it..

To be fair, other forms that ask for your TM6 card number, are largely overlooked as they know, there are, at present, no more arrival cards being issued to air arrivals.

Wonder if this is how it will be for the entry stamp as well…

the auto gates are only available for exit, you still need to go through the normal process for Entry and will receive a stamp.

"No exit stamp" wouldn't be an issue travel-wise. Your departure record is on the system. That is the electric gate is for.

thanks . Extra question: will go for bank account, drivers license and all the paperwork for non O visa . Will all those offices accept that there are no more exit stamps ? I assume this is new . Will be immigration in Phitsanulok.

, They care for entry stamp, not exit stamp. you don't have exit stamp, but you sure will get entry stamp.
