Immigration Stamps

Post by confused90 » Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:39 pm

Hello All,

Just had a small query about the immigration stamps on the passport. As we all know, UK immigration doesn't stamp our passports on our exit. The country I frequently visit for work doesn't stamp my passport on entry (I usually use the e-gate).

Hence, how am I or HO supposed to calculate the days I was absent from the UK? I get the exit stamp from 1 country, and get the entry stamp at UK immigration.

Appreciate the feedback :)

With great difficulty. Travel tickets and boarding cards?

And what would the consequence be if I 'misplace' some tickets and boarding passes?

As far as i reckon they will calculate this by our entry dates in uk as we do get stamped our passports when we arrive here. :?

Without the exit stamp, I could've been out for a month.. but it wouldn't show up on my passport :?
