No exit stamp leaving Australia

I am Iranian passport holder. I was in Australia with temporary visa. While I left Australia, the passport officer did not stamp my exit in the passport.

I am wondering, if he has forgotten to stamp the exit or they don't stamp for everybody. If he has forgotten, would it be a question for the case officer of my next visa application?

Best Answer

Some countries have a general presumption that you departed before you visa expires, so it's not a problem unless you are found in the country after the expiration date. Assuming you departed by a commercial carrier, immigration gets passenger lists from the airline/ cruise company and can match up arrivals with departures that way.

If, for some reason, it does become an issue you just have to provide some evidence that you were somewhere else - work records, boarding pass, entry stamp of another country etc.
