Entry Stamp But No Exit Stamp

[bilkobilko]

Arrived here June 6th on a non immigrant 0 visa [multiple entry] which expires June 2013.

At the airport they stamped the white card I filled in on the plane with an entry stamp but no stamp for when I should exit.

I didn`t notice this at the time.

Will I have a problem in August when I go back to the UK?

Any suggestions would be most wecome.

As long as they stamped your passport it will be no problem.

Why the H whould they stamp you out before you left??????think

The arival card normally only shows when you entered the country, as they don't stamp extensions of stay on your arrival card, only in your passport.

I think he is saying that they stamped his arrival card but no stamp in his passport telling him when he has to exit by. I would double check again and then go to the immigration office if you still don't see it. DO NOT leave it until the day you fly out as they could think you entered illegally or altered your passport.

I'm quite sure the OP means the departure portion of the arrival card, which is probably stapled in his passport onto the page where the arrival stamp with the expiration date of his permission to stay is. The card covers the arrival stamp and he cannot see it.

bilkobilko, you will break no law if you remove the staple, look at the arrival stamp, perhaps even photocopy or photograph that page, and then staple the card back onto that page. I do this every time after arriving in Bangkok.

They don't put exit stamp date on your departure card as they not sure which day exactly you leaving the country, or you may get an extension at local immigration. However, they will put exit stamp date on your passport.

An exit stamp is put on passport when you exit. They put a permitted to stay until stamp (entry) in passport when you arrive and may also stamp the departure portion of arrival card (but not always).
