Which date to write into Reentry for flight at 0:30?

[Lorry]

I will apply for reentry permit at Suvarnabhumi. 

Flight leaves 0:30, Nov 2

In the reentry application,  you have to fill in the date when you wrote it (Nov 1, about 23:00), on top of the form,  and you have to fill in the date you leave Thailand (Nov 2).

 

Is this how they want it? 

Or both dates Nov 2?

Or they don't care?

I'd put the date you will pass through immigration.

In reality, they don't care.

 

If you're doing it at Swampy, just pay the processing fee and let them do everything.

They do not care. For an easy life, just pay 200 baht and let them fill in the form.

Thanks,  sounds easy

Dates don't matter. 

Provide your own TM8 with photo and that's it. 

Or opt to have immigration do the process for 200b.

 

Did one last Wednesday.

1 picture or 2 pictures?

(someone wrote in an old thread 2 pictures necessary)

Last time I applied I arrived at the same time as someone who paid the 200 baht while I filled in the form myself. No difference in the time it took. I suppose if you have a phobia for form form filling then it's a nice service but there's no real benefit.

One form with one picture.

Not important. The dates you put on the application form are not binding. I always have an unused reentry in my passport (in case of a family emergency it’s just one thing less to have to think about - from my experience) and so I just give a random date. I’ve also posted planned trips and didn’t use the reentry as expected. No problem. It’s valid up to your visa expiration date.
