Permanant Residency-

[markharrison]

1 It states on this website that a re-entry endorsement one year muli entry is only 1000 baht. For my last 2 years I have paid more than 5000 baht. Can anyone confirm this price.

2 My permanant resident book is now completely full, do I need to get a new book or is it possible to get additional pages.Is it quicker to do tis in Bangkok?? Any additional info would be good.

A single entry re-entry permit is 1,000 baht. A multiple entry re-entry permit is 3,800 baht. You should get a new book if the old one is full.

There are actually two stamps that you pay for, both valid for a year, if you want to leave Thailand and return again with PR status:

1) "Non-Quota Immigrant Visa" in your passport. Cost: 3,800 Baht for multiple entries

2) Endorsement in your Certificate of Residence (Blue Book). Cost: 1,900 Baht (no differentation between single and multiple)

Total cost is therefore 5,700 Baht

When your Certificate of Residence (Blue Book) is full of stamps, you will need to get a new one. If I remember correctly, the cost is 1,900 Baht (in 2004). Not sure how much it is now though. To get a new book, take all your usual docs plus your Tabien Bahn to the immigration department. Used to take around a week to issue the new blue book, which is actually white and marked "Duplicate Certificte of Residence".
