houstoniron Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 How does immigration or anyone know whether a re-entry permit is valid or not? This is the re-entry permit I currently have in my passport. It is exactly the same as the re-entry permit from a prior year that I used. The previous permit dot not have an immigration stamp but it has been used. It seems that immigration does not stamp a Re-entry permit when returning to Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstoniron Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 If I left Thailand say 6 months ago and I returned, the REP would look the same as this one, there would be no immigration stamp on it to say it has been used. There is no stamp on a REP I used It seems that Immigration does not stamp an REP when entering the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not need to see a stamp stating it was used since your previous arrival stamp will show it was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statman78 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I returned to Thailand this pas5 June 26 using my re-entry permit. The IO did stamp it “USED”. This must be something new. I returned to Thailand March 2020, just before the borders were shut down. At that time my re-entry permit was not stamped “USED”. I also noticed that the entry stamp is different.

For anyone not familiar with the previous stamp, here is an example: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It goes to show how long I have not been to Thailand. It used to be at least once a year. I like the new stamps; more pleasing to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
