I have a 6:20 a.m. flight and would like to make my re-entry permit before the fight early morning. Anyone have any experience  making a re-entry permit early morning at Don Meuang airport

No problem.

It's a 24/7 service.

If (rare) unattended just approach immigration staff and they will sort it out.

As you are most likely aware reentry permit is immediately other side of immigration control.

Suggest you fill in your TM8 with photo prior to trip to to DMK

FYI for others.. I arrived at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) airport at 6.20 am September 27. Several people in front of me. About a 30 minutes total... to apply and wait.

.... and here is the missing form TM8, an application form for a re-entry permit; print out both pages (or front-/backside) and complete/sign it with BLUE ink/ballpen ????

Yeah, dunno why people wait to do this at the airport, much better prepared if sorted out beforehand at your local imm office IMO.

You make it sound like trip to immigration office is like going to 7/11.

For some it's a half day trip.

 

Did you read the guy you quoted.

He stated ....

"About a 30 minutes total... to apply and wait. " 

 

And that was with "several people in front of him" 

 

I have done 10 at DMK and only once was there someone being processed.

It's a half day trip where you don't have a timeframe to catch a flight tho.

What happens if there's 20, 40, 65 people in front of him, miss the flight.

Clearly you have no idea.

There is NEVER ever 40, 65 people.

Usually zero.

 

Post with first hand knowledge is a good plan.

It's clear you have no experience of what the OP asked about.

lol.

 

If there's never any people is it not clear that the 'majority' of them do it at local immigration and not last minute at the airport? 

 

lol
