Returning to Thailand on a non o based on visiting family on 25th Nov 2025 ! With the new e-gates my passport won't get stamped ! Is there a way to get a physical stamp , as banks , driving license applications ect need to see visa status and don't often accept printed copy of visa !
TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand on a Non-O visa based on visiting family, travelers will still receive a physical stamp in their passport, even when using e-gates at the airport. It is advised to print the e-visa received from the Thai consulate, as banks and other institutions may require to see a physical copy of the visa status, and they might not accept a printed one.
