Clever! Btw, is the reentry permit desk before/after the Imm line?

Exactly. Though the reentry permit will be top of mind every moment after I get to Suvarnabhum. But still all kinds of emergencies can happen. And it's good to know what Plan B is.

Thanks. Could you expand on start over? What happens when I present my passport to the Imm officer at the airport? He cancels the extension of stay on the spot, waves me in on visa-exempt and I have the usual deadlines to start the extension of stay process again? I don't think I will. But it would be peace of mind to know it won't be the end of the world if for some reason if I fail and that all I have to do is xyz and I am good again.

I just got my extension of stay based on retirement so I am good for one year. Plan to travel abroad next week for a month. My previous multiple reentry permit will have expired by then so I plan to get another at the airport on my way out. But being the worrying kind I wonder what happens if for some reason I don't get it. How do I get back in? Visa-exempt entry as a US citizen? Which means cancelling the extension of stay? And starting all over again? Help. Thanks.

So he paid a "fair" amount to poor parents to rape their children. Doesn't make it legal.

May I ask who has to file the 8938? I have already filed the FinCEN 114 (FBAR) declaring all expat bank acs, First time I am hearing of yet another form to declare expat assets.
