drh1010 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have an extension of stay based on marriage with permission to stay in Thailand until June 2021. I might need to travel back to the UK soon and will need a re-entry permit in order to avoid getting a new visa before my return. My question is, how flexible are they when it comes to the travel dates on the TM8 form for the re-entry permit? I understand that you need to put your outbound travel date and also travel date for arrival back to Thailand. Unfortunately I only know rough estimates of both at this time. Does this matter? I want to apply for the re-entry permit before even booking my return flight as I plan to begin the pre-approval part of the certificate of entry application asap (just to make sure there will be no issues when trying to get back in). This pre-approval part of the COE application requires evidence of current visa/extension of stay/re-entry permit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get my re-entry when I get my extension, of course I don't know any dates so I leave them blank. The only important date is the expiry date of the re-entry permit which will be the same as your current permission to stay (June 2021), you must return before that date.

ubonjoe Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The departure and arrival dates on the TM8 form means nothing. The re-entry permit will be valid from the date it issued to the day your permit to stay from the extension ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if the permit to stay it is issued for is valid that long when it is issued. A re-entry permit is based upon a permit to stay and it ends when the permit to stay ends.
