Are the e-gates functional for foreigner ARRIVALS? I have a Netherlands passport holder who checked into my villa yesterday that I am trying to report a TM30 for online. It is a self check-in, so I asked him to send me his passport and entry stamp (even though I know entry date isn't a required field, it is just for my records to ensure I don't have someone on overstay). He insists there's no entry stamp in his passport from Bangkok, replying: "Now the immigration doesn’t has arrival stamp."

I am not aware of the e-gates functioning for arrivals at any Thai airport, so it seems every foreigner would still get stamped. Is he wrong or has something changed, before I press him further about this?

Border run question.

I need one, before I did go to Cambodia 3 years ago. But that's not possible at this moment.

I stay in buriram so it probably gonna be Laos.

My question is: howlong do I have to stay there? And do I have to pay there for a visa? And howmuch?
