I also experienced such behaviour of an airline with a digital boarding pass, they wanted to see the email and open it from there.

there is no reason to have doubt about what anonymous posters say. I don't like the fact that people post anonymous, but suggesting they do not tell the truth is unfair.

@James ****

the fact you were not ask does not say nobody was asked, so it is useless to say you were never asked.

Normally you don't need the stamp, so no need to not use egate.

Only when you plan to do things where you might have to prove you did exit it can be better to have a stamp.

For reentering Thailand it does not matter because your exit is registered in the system

I would send them copy of boarding pass and the remark you used egate and got no stamp.

@Peter *******

getting new passport before applying for visa is the best idea.

@David ******

but the visa is registered on the (old) passport, which means you need to have both passports for the rest of the visa validity period

@Alex ******

There are many millions of people entering Thailand, which means they can only check a very small part. Therefore they will try to check people with highest risk, and of those group still only a small percentage will be checked. Logical risk factors are types of visa which are abused much, people getting visa with visa run, people doing border runs. Using probability calculation will show how many people are checked never, and how many people are checked several times with the same chance.

Anonieme deelnemer 601 I do not really see a reason when you have non-o retirement in a legal way, why you should move to DTV, unless you are in the same situation I am in and don't like the inflexibility of the in country extension every year around the same date. And as long as you travel often out of the country the maximum 180 day stay is not really a disadvantage.

Financially the DTV is a bit cheaper in case you do workcation and do not have to spend extra money for soft power, but the differences are not very big and do not justify to have the DTV for that reason, because with DTV you have less possibilities like not opening bank account and only 2 years drivers license.

And when DTV keeps being misused the way it now does, you can also expect stricter checks

Indeed if your DTV application is genuine there should be no problem.

When they question you, that also should be no problem, because when the DTV application is genuine, you always can proove that easily.

Problems can be expected when you do not comply (anymore) with the requirements.
