Hi all. I'm leaving Thailand from Suvarnabhumi for the first time since they started with the electronic passport reader system. It's important for me to get the departure stamp in the passport, and I understand there is still a counter where immigration handle passports manually. Can anyone tell me where this counter is? Thanks.

Hello everyone!

I flew out of the country a week ago via BKK Airport. My DTV stamp is valid until March 2026. However, they did not stamp my passport with a departure seal.

I contacted the consulate here, but they didn’t have any useful information. I emailed Immigration (saraban_imm@police.go.th) on the 24th, but of course I haven’t received a reply yet due to Christmas.

Just curious, has anyone else experienced leaving the country without receiving a departure stamp at the airport?

Have the best holdidays!

Just got back to UK from Thailand and noticed I have no departure stamp on my passport. Is this the norm now or is this going to cause issues on next entry?

Hi question. Upon leaving TH, I didn't receive a departure stamp in my passport, however my passport was scanned. I was able to secure a re-entry permit. Does anyone have a similar experience? Thank you.

Lately, both entering and leaving Thailand have been chaos. There have been endless lines. Note—this is also pre-Songkran.

Upon leaving 2 weeks ago. I noticed the e-passport line. No human intervention. You can just enter your passport and photo taken, and the gate opens. You exit Thailand. When I entered, I got the usual 30-day visa stamp. Now, I have exited with no departure stamp. Will this be an issue when I go back to Bangkok in 2 weeks?

Hi folks, I've just returned from Thailand and the immigration officer wrote what looks like no p 18 under my departure stamp. Has anyone any idea what this means. The officer said nothing to me just handed passport back, tia

Can somebody please tell me what this means?
