Jan 3, 2025

ORIGINAL POSTER

So I used the automated gates at the immigration in Suvarnabhumi Airport as I was exiting the Kingdom. 

My passport was not Stamped to indicate I left the kingdom before the 60 days visa exemption. 

Will that be an issue in the future when I go back? I have a hanging stamp in , but no stamp out.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation addresses concerns about not receiving a physical exit stamp when using automated gates at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand. Users reassure that the electronic records of arrivals and departures are sufficient and that there will be no issues returning to Thailand without an exit stamp. The automated system updates are confirmed by several commenters, indicating confidence in the immigration process.

I've had several IOs having bad days flip through my entire travel history looking for stuff to bitch about. This seems pretty risky for me without the appropriate infrastructure to back it up.

these are the people who fine the ex pat when a hotel doesn't file the TM30 and now we don't get a stamp when the outcome could be jail.

Nope first time I exited through auto gates I did wonder if anything would be said on my return about no exit stamp. On my actual return nothing said allowed to enter as normal so its obviously in the system and works

The info might be in the system… in BKK. What if you are living in a remote area , not yet connected to the WWW in rural thailand and you visit a government office. Someone will be asking how come you are still here in 2029 after you entered the country in Dec 24

how remote are you talking about? I'm pretty sure every Province has an Immigration Office in it's main city and other government offices, I'm sure would be connected to the internet these days. I don't think Thailand would be that backwards, even though they like their paperwork

I took it from the post you were just asking about re entering Thailand. Sorry I cannot answer your question on visiting Goverment Offices in remote areas as I have not had to do that so would only be guessing.

But I imagine if you have left with no exit stamp and then re entered so have new entry stamp they will see all is in order but that is only my opinion.
