Can I get a re-entry permit at Don Muang Airport?

[Furioso]

I know a holder of a Non-A retirement visa can get a re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi Airport, is it available at Don Muang as well? 

[DrJack54]

Yes.

Office immediately AFTER passport control

Do you mean Non O-A.

If so is the visa still valid.

If the visa is valid it's a multi entry visa..

Note you only need a re entry permit to keep your permission to stay valid if the Non OA is expired. If within the validity of the visa a re entry is not required.

Frankly don't understand some threads.

After your last post two folk have suggested that check validity of your Non O-A (if indeed that's what you have) .

You were online in last hour and contribute nothing.

 

Actually I'm flying to Saigon tomorrow and obtaining multi reentry at DMK.

Normally would post a report of experience.

But nup ..what's the point.

Warning: for all my banging on about obtaining reentry permit and it's a breeze.

It ain't. I'm currently sitting in substantial que at DMK.

 

Advice is to allow lot of extra time.

Very few farang in the que.

Were many in the queue waiting to clear overstays, or were they all awaiting re-entry permits? How long did it eventually take?

First up I over reacted with my previous post as it didn't take nearly as long I would have imagined.

It's just that there were approx 15 and in my many had never seen que like that.

It was ALL reentry permits.

The overstay desk guy was doing step one and sliding the pp,s to reentry.

Interestingly not one had prepared the TM8 and we're paying 200b for io to prepare form.

From when I walked into airport I was given boarding card and airside with reentry permit not much over one hour.

My friend flew out of Don Muang yesterday. He texted me it took "one minute" to get his re-entry permit.

One minute is the norm however took me 20 minutes last week Wednesday at DMK

 

Obviously folk should allow little bit of extra time.
