julot Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hello, I entered the country yesterday on a single entry non-immigrant visa (thai spouse) with the plan to apply a 1 year extension before the end of the visa validity. However, I might need to leave the country for a unexpected trip outside the country very soon. My SENO visa has already been marked as "USED". Can I still apply for a single re-entry permit at BKK airport before I fly out? If yes, is the re-entry permit office before or after immigration desks at airport? Much appreciated!

ubonjoe Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 You can get a single re-entry permit to keep the remainder of your 90 day entry valid when you re-enter the country. Be sure you take a photo with you incase they cannot take one for the application. You will pay a service charge of 200 baht for them doing the form, copies and photo. Total of 1200 baht for a single re-entry permit. The re-entry permit desk at Suvarnabhumi is after security just before the departure immigration desks in zone 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure though if you can find empty forms in that office, since it would disrupt the 200 extra baht business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service is for those that are in a rush and didn't have time to get things done before arriving at the airport. Can you imagine having to get the copies and photos done at the airport. Two hundred baht is not a lot of money to pay for the convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through security awhile back and was told it was located BEFORE you enter security. They cancelled my stamp and i had to go outside and get it. Then go through the WHOLE security and immigration again. And they questioned WHY i had my first stamp cancelled. Thanks for any info for next time.

boriga Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 As of 30 June when I last did it at BKK, it is at a desk in the back left corner after security before immigration. Takes around ten minutes. Alternatively, go to your local immigration office and do it before you go to the airport. In my case, in Hua Hin, that was much simpler and cheaper and less stress at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Tuft Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Can confirm the desk is on the far left front corner of the immigration hall - before the immigration counters. Source: Went through there this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
