Stamped out at airport immigration, flight cancelled?

[hohososo]

What would happen if I was stamped out at immigration and then the flight was canelled?

Or similarily if while waiting in the departure lounge, I had a medical or personal emergency and did not want to board my flight?

Would they then stamp me back in and give me a visa exempt entry since I am from a G7 country?

[ubonjoe]

Your departure stamp would be canceled which would keep the permit to stay date you had valid. If you had departed on the last day of your permit to stay they might give you 7 days to leave the country.

They would not stamp you in with a new visa exempt entry.

What if you're stamped out at Ranong, your boat sinks and you are rescued back to Thailand?

What if you're stamped out at Ranong, your boat sinks and you are rescued back to Thailand?

Not the same as the question asked by the OP.

It would depend upon when the boat sank, On the way to Myanmar or on the way back? Damaged or lost passports?

We had this happen. BKK>Beijing flight was posted in Thai lounge as delayed so that we would miss our Beijing>USA connection.

Notified the lounge attendant, and basically, the system works (with bits and starts) in reverse. Immigration agent came down to lounge, collected our passports, notified Thai of our luggage claim checks, we went through various card access doors, they stamped our passports with a red stamp that our departure stamp was canceled, we collected our luggage (remember that the flight was not canceled-just delayed, so someone had to search through all the luggage for that 777) at a small luggage collection room adjacent to the big room with the 20 luggage belts, and out we went through another card access door into the big room and out the Green Channel.

Basically, a painless procedure.

Thai offered us a hotel, either in town with transportation (we were flying paid business class) or the airport Novotel. We just went back to our condo in near Sattahip.

Took the AoT limo service, located right before the airport exits. A little pricey for local limo services arranged in advance-$75 to Sattahip-but good driver and a nice new MU-7.

Had it happen in Taiwan main thing they were worried about was the duty free items.

years ago preparedto board phone rang, I tell the girl at desk cannot leave as important business. EVA rescheulded me fora few days later escorted me back threw immigration new 30day stamp returned 500 baht departure tax and luagge waiting at luggage area. After that only fly EVA LAX to BKK over10 years. This was at the old DM airport

In 1968, I entered Thailand by boat at Phuket at night. No immigration officials were there, so I went into town and went on the BKK in the morning. When attempting to leave BKK at Don Muang, they asked how I got to Thailand. I showed them my boat ticket, and explained no immigration officers were there; no problem, stamped out. Alas, those were better days.

Had been flying Cathay but EVA Premium Economy is a better deal. But I worry about the typhoons. Have almost been stuck in Taiwan twice. The first time would have been for 3 days. Barely made it out. We left 2 hours early, right after my plane from LAX landed. Cheers to them for doing that but might not be so lucky in the future,

I've had this happen a couple of times, though not in Thailand (including a ferry that had to return because of rough seas). As said, immigration in each case just wrote "Cancelled" in English across the exit stamp.

Not the same as the question asked by the OP.

It would depend upon when the boat sank, On the way to Myanmar or on the way back? Damaged or lost passports?

Hi ubonjoe! After quite a few years reading TV forums, my estimation of your knowledge, common sense and patience never seems to amaze me! You're The One!

Hobobo - I also have the utmost respect for Ubonjoe and I get your sarcasm but you Hobobo have missed my point entirely.

In both cases you are in a virtual "no man's land" as you are in the lawless Poipet casino stretch between the borders.

One can easily get mugged there if drunk and stupid and in my first example Thai driven boats sink almost daily down here in the South.

I'll take it a step further - if you die in such a "No man's land" - in which country did you die?

This can be very important for insurance purposes, death certificates to be issued etc.

Just idle thoughts perhaps as I have passed through these areas a number of times.

You are still very definitely in Thailand. That is the law that will get you. Unless however they give you a tranit visa that is where you will remain though till you leave.

The casino stretch in Poipet is "In Cambodia," and under their jurisdiction.

In the case of a fatal sinking, it would depend on whose territorial waters the boat was in when it sank - unless in international waters - not sure how those are handled.

If surviving a sinking and returning from whence you came via rescue-boat, and assuming this must have occurred before stamping into another country, I suspect that your exit stamp would be cancelled and, if you had been traveling on a Thai-flagged vessel, also likely any overstay would be forgiven in this circumstance (for PR reasons).

Not to worry, if your boat sank leaving Ranong you would more than likely end up drinking some of the sea around Ranong and you would die before you needed to worry about your visa stamps.

What ever way you can stay longer

[Sydebolle]

If that is your only problem .................

[IMA_FARANG]

If you are flying back to Germany and the plane crashes halfway there....in what country do they bury the survivors.?

Answer, they don't.

They don't bury survivors, survivors are sill alive.

In other words, you're asking a silly question in the first place.

Actually, I was once flying from Athens to Bangkok on an Air France flight.

The plane had technical problems in a stop in Bombay, India and didn't continue to Bangkok.

I had to wait a week in Bombay for the next Air France flight a week later. (discount ticket).

Air France got me a visa for India, a one week stay.

So I spent a week in Bombay with he help of Air France.

But Air France only paid for the first 2 days....I paid for the rest of the week in Bombay.

I was lucky, and had just finished a contract and had been paid a completion bonus, so I stayed in Bombay for a week.

Happened to me in the great yellow shirt sit-in of 2008. They cancelled my departure stamp and bused us out. I returned to airport 10 days later when it was over and my 30 day had expired. Immigration did look at my stamps for 5 minutes, but didn't try to fine me. But i guess they could see what had happened!
