I departed from Thailand yesterday.

They used the electronic scan in Bangkok airport. I noticed that no departure stamp on passport. Is this the new way. All electronic no physical stamp in passport.

Passed my 2 days visa. I plan on paying the airport ticket upon departure.

Is this done before or after baggage is checked?

Thank you

J'ai dépassé mon visa de 2 jours. Je compte payer l' amende à l'aéroport au moment du départ.

Ça se fait avant ou après l'enregistrement des bagages ?

Merci

Slightly strange departure today from DMK Bangkok as I went through immigration the IO called a colleague over (I suspect someone more senior) who asked me to follow them, I was taken to another counter and re scanned my fingers, checked my passport again, boarding pass. No questions asked or explanation.

Passport was stamped and all was fine. I still had another 8 days on my tourist visa so no overstay etc

Just wondered if anyone else has had this or if i just have strange fingerprints!

TIA

An automated system how will they check my visa?

Hi All. US citizen here. After entering the Kingdom on a tourist visa (60 days), I went to the US embassy to get a new passport. Upon receiving my new passport, I went to the immigration division of the government complex in Lak Si to transfer my entry stamp, only to be told it was unnecessary. I was informed that, upon my departure from the Kingdom, I can present my old passport with my entry stamp along with my new (and stampless) passport, and be allowed to depart the country. Does this sound accurate? Thanks in advance!

Hello friends. I'm Brazilian and I've been in Thailand for 2 years. Next week I'm going back to Brazil. 😭

It is the first time I have left the kingdom and I have doubts about the immigration procedure at the airport.

Can anyone tell me the sequence of procedures I should do at the airport before boarding ?

Hopefully this will be of use to other travelers.

The airport is much less crowded than pre Covid times.

Wait time for check in at Air Asia: 20 minutes.

Wait time for luggage X-ray: 1 minute.

Wait time for immigration: 13 minutes.

Wait time for security screening: 5 minutes.

My flight is at 0905.

I arrived at the airport 0600.

In this case, I have two hours to relax and eat breakfast.
