Arrival Departure card...what is it for?

Featured Replies

Now I am a bit worried... When I arrived in October after the 25+ hour flight, I didn't notice my departure card was not put in my passport. Before, in the past, they would staple it to the page where they stamp you into the Kingdom. I'm a pack-rat for paper and sure it wasn't given back... I have my ticket stubs, hotel receipt, etc... but no departure card... No staple or holes on the page where they stamped me into the Kingdom...

I am going to Immigration in a couple days, could/would this pose a serious problem? Any advice because I guess they are number coded...

That is no problem and no need to visit immigration, as you are not on an extension of stay. Only people on an extension of stay need to visit immigration.

At the airport simply get another departure card and fill that one in.

Sorry for not clearing the reason, I'm heading to Immigration to execute a change of my Visa and get a new 1 year extension stamp.

It should not be that big a problem. Most immigration offices will give you a new card to fill out.

But some may want a police report for the lost card before giving you a new one.
