Re-Entry Permit - Online Application

[Username2020]

Posting this here as googling results on how to apply do not seem to mention this service. Made an appointment online via the below link and was in and out of BKK Chang Watthana office in 20 minutes with new re-entry permit https://extranet.immigration.go.th/qrepsonline/online/queue/REPSAction.do?cmd=term.

The site only works in Internet Explorer - no Chrome support.

Limited to Explorer seems archaic

OP, it's a very smooth process at airport. I assume your aware of that. I hate the trip to CW.

+1 Easy peazy to do at Swampy before a flight.

Since I leave Thailand about 5 times a year, I just get my multi re-entry the same time I do my retirement extension renewal, so I only have to do everything once a year.

It works with Google Chrome in my Android phone. It's just for an appointment, and imo a waste of time compared to doing it at the airport.

150% correct, I spend no more then 10 minutes at the IMO for a re-entry.

100% agree. I need a multi reentry every year. When I do my annual extension at CW, I don't even bother walking to queue counter then to permit counter. Far more easy to drop into office at airport with form and required docs. Couldn't be more easy.

I know that you can apply for reentry permit at departure area prior to flight.

Does anyone know if you can apply for a reentry permit after you have arrived at airport and received your permit to stay stamp in your passport?

You cannot obtain reentry permit at arrival.

In other words, you have to have a boarding pass in order get to departure area and apply for a reentry permit.

They would not let you go to departure area and apply at immigration without a boarding pass.

Yes. Note the reentry permit desk is just prior to passport control at BKK airport and just PAST passport control at DM airport.

My question is basically, if reentry permit desk is just prior to passport control at Suvarnabhumi, is there a possibility that they would allow a person to go to reentry permit desk and apply for a reentry permit without a boarding pass?

No. You can't even get into departure area without boarding pass. 

I can see where your going. Think could use airport instead of imm office.

Not possible. You get reentry permit at airport just prior to your flight.

That's what I thought.......thanks for that info!

I Do Not live anything in Thailand to last minute. 

To avoid contact with immigration I always pay 3,800 and get my multi re-entry at the same time I do my non-OA extension renewal. Last time idiot put stamp in the middle of my new passport page. I asked why not use 2 pages. Immigration idiot did not get it.

Upon arrival at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, another immigration idiot stamped new page in the middle but close to the edge. I asked him if next time he could use bigger stamp and use full page in my passport.
