Doesn't matter if you obtain reentry permit at BKK or DMK. The permit is obtained on day of departure. Meaning you are exiting Thailand. At BKK the reentry permit desk is PRIOR to immigration (passport control) Zone 2 to the left of immigration lines. I posted pic earlier At DMK the reentry permit desk is JUST PAST immigration control. You can see the office from passport control. Both airports offer a 200b service fee to fill in application+ photo.

You need new queue #. Currently appointments for extension retirement are few and far between. I also deal with CW and never bother with going to reentry permit desk after extension. Some folk do....I obtain at airport

An agent either meets you in person airside and takes you though immigration or you are greeted and stamped it. Folk with multiple visa exempt stamps (one example) some opt for this service. Here is a company you can check out. https://www.facebook.com/srthaivisaservices/?checkpoint_src=any

Yes. Most folks obtain reentry permit at same visit to immigration for extension. 1000b single....3800b multiple. The reentry permit has expiry same as the extension. Personally I prefer to obtain permit at the airport.

Not sure why folk ask. Some offices allow fillable forms. Some want forms filled in by hand etc etc. Just use a blue pen and fill in (by hand) the TM7.

Just to be clear....if you are just visiting for future holidays what interaction would you have with immigration.

No problem. Now we have two reports from Pattaya. Appreciate the info. Hopefully some clarification soon.

Glad thread wasn't closed as was not aware of that info you attached. Watch this space. Here is Tik Tok Facebook

Some office do some don't. https://aseannow.com/topic/1334200-90-days-report-after-getting-1-year-extension-follow-the-last-date-of-report-or-count-new/

The same agent (Tik Tok) you are referring to goes on to say on their Facebook page that other services such as....."obtaining renewal of extension" etc business as usual.

For sure non Thai wife.

SCB can provide 12 month bank statement on the spot same for "bank letter" If you are dealing with CW, I suggest you obtain these items day or two prior to day of application. Making a small deposit on the day of application good idea as updates and shows activity. Statement 200b Letter (should be) 100b

Immigration will not accept joint account for extensions marriage. They MAY approve a joint account with double the financial requirements for extensions based on retirement (as per the OP) Bottom line the OP would need to discuss with his immigration office.

Desk is Zone 2. After security check and PRIOR to passport control. Desk is to left of the immigration officer lines

Outlined in this thread.... https://aseannow.com/topic/1318449-documents-needed-for-getting-re-entry-permit-at-cw/ Note in my first post point out that reentry permit also available at airports on day of departure. For 200b they take care of TM8 and photo.

Yes it's specific to opening bank account. Just for general information: there is basically nothing in it for agent. The charge ~ 4k depending on age of client, goes on "accident insurance", ATM card and minimum deposit into the account (say 500baht)

This is regarding an agent in Pattaya. Specifically opening a bank account. This has occurred previously. Siam Legal also stopped this service at one point. No big deal.

Abusive post from OP removed and thread closed

Bad plan. In the main as it's minimal time out of Thailand and using airport entry. If you opt for that I suggest you consider a "safe entry" agent... https://www.facebook.com/srthaivisaservices/?checkpoint_src=any Since you are based in Bangkok, you didn't consider land crossing border bounce agent from Bangkok or Pattaya to Cambodia

For DS-82 passport renewal it is done via mail. Outlined in attached thread. Passports for damaged/lost/minor etc is different. https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/instructions-for-ds-82-processing-by-mail-and-online-fee-payment-for-u-s-citizens-residing-in-thailand/

Yes. I made error. My first post this thread in Jan Feb indicated 20k. https://aseannow.com/topic/1347792-coming-in-visa-exempt-whats-need-right-now-jan-2-2024/

Nup. I occasionally get asked to assist with a booking for extension. The lack of slots sometimes only one or two a month ahead is concerning.

Good question. Hopefully someone has actually done it and will advise. As an aside: I just checked extension retirement at CW. Only one day available on Mar 17 and even then only two slots on that day.

Thinking you're referring to family. Here is link to link to guide to entry to Thailand. Not official gov site. https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/thailand-visa-exemption-and-visa-on-arrival.php
