I could have left the country yesterday and they wouldn't know. That's what I have a bad feeling about, they might think (and the immigration facts kinda suggest it) I stayed in Thailand longer than I should have been allowed to. Do you think that will not be an issue? The arrival stamp of the country your flight landed In will be dated, so that should be your proof......unless It was a country with electronic scanning such as Australia.

juice777 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 What about contacting immigration in your home country to get a letter saying you returned. I know they probably don't stamp your passport but they must scan it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do have your boarding pass for you flight out of Thailand and/or the ticket for the trip? With those you might be able to convince immigration on arrival you really did leave the country. very difficult to comprehend how that could possibly happen. If he came in by a domestic flight he must check-in (with- or without luggage) at a check-in Counter to retrieve his Boarding pass for the ongoing flight! How could he have a boading pass for the ongoing flight without checking in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice777 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Read this story http://www.roadjunky.com/1108/immigration-jail-in-bangkok-thailand/ A guy entered Thailand without exit stamp and got locked up.. I dont how you could have been allowed to skip immigration procedures.. This is thier mix up. You need to be careful you may be accused of illegally exiting thailand and depending on thier mood the fact you can prove you did leave thailand is irrelevant.. But why did you evade immigration? What were you hiding etc? May be the thing on thier mind.. Dont mean to scaremonger but the quoted story teaches you one lesson remain calm and polite.Sorry mate but after reading that story if I was you there is no way I would return to Thailand. Unless I had written proof all this was fixed before, I would simply be to scared. And wouldn't consider a holiday worth the risk.I have no faith in Thai imagination to fix this on a arrival. That's just what I would do just saying. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A inflammatory post has been removed. People need to go back and read the OP and and first 2 pages of the topic before posting. If they did this topic would not be so long. A lot of repeated and unneeded posts would be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returning from Thailand to London anyway. So odds are most people would have there passport scaned when returning to the UK. No ideal about other countries but would have thought there passport was more likely to be scanned than not. OP what country are you from?

steve73 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 On recent trips to the UK I've used the self-scan passport system (which I assume logs your arrival). Prior to that I used the IRIS recognition system (which again logged your arrival). But until I registered for that I'd have to queue up with masses, only to be waved through as soon as they looked at the PP & photo - so no record or arriving UNLESS notified by the airline. But I'd have hoped things have changed by now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varun Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Something doesn't add up to this story - is there something that you're not telling us? Unless you were born yesterday or were traveling overseas for the first time in your life (to Thailand), it is impossible to believe that it didn't strike you - every arrival stamp, needs a corresponding departure stamp. If you want to travel to Thailand again it is important that you get this sorted out asap. Call up the airport immigration and ask to speak to somebody in English, and explain the situation. If a genuine mistake has been made, now is the time to clear it out. If you're lucky, you will not get an overstay fine or worse. Given that you're from a non-visa waiver country, will give Immigration all the more reason to scrutinize your intentions and travel history. Best to get it sorted now.

And the world be forced to process him through the system. Don't seem worth the hassle for a holiday. I am sure that's not what the OP wants to here, but if some of the great minds on here haven't got a Answer for him it not worth the risk.

It proves that he left and that he left illegally well actually it doesn't prove that he actually left, he needs confirmation from the Airline that he boarded the flight Most people on this thread seem to be missing the point, the main issue is no exit stamp in either his PP or Immigration's system Edited August 21, 2017 by darrendsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
