Re-entry permit - current VISA extension and new VISA extension

[ETatBKK]

hi there
I will renew my VISA extension in Jan, and it will be effective on Feb 1.  I will travel from the last week Jan to the first week Feb.  Currently; I don't have a re-entry permit.

WONDER - (scenario 1) do I need a single re-entry permit to leave the country and return with a new re-entry permit effective Feb 1?  OR, (scenario 2) I just leave the country with no re-entry permit (for the current expiring VISA extension) but come back using a 'fresh' re-entry permit effective Feb 1 ?

 

your ideas are welcome !

 

cheers and Happy New Year !

Is extension based on marriage or retirement. 

You can obtain reentry permit at the same time as the new extension if it's retirement the date of application is when the extension starts.

I thought I re entry permit had the valid to date on it.? Had to re-entry Thailand by that date.  So when you get a new exstention get a re entry permit same time .the permit then will cover you till the next exstention.

it is a marriage VISA. I used to apply a new multiple re-entry permit when I get the new VISA extension, keep it for that particular year, safe and done.

 

for some years, I left the country with the expiring VISA extension and come back using the new one, that had no problem with the VISA extension.

 

since no travel this year I have no re-entry permit with me.  can I leave the country without a re-entry permit (end Jan), and come back using the NEW VISA extension and the new re-entry permit (effective Feb 1) ?  would the re-entry permit need to be "paired in-and-out", or it is really the "re-entry" ?

 

cheers
