[bhatmasterson]

The thread about this topic seems to be all from 2018. Does anyone know if the reentry permit counter is open 24/7?

No it is closed just like the departure counters when there are no departures.

If you are leaving from the international side at CNX, the re-entry desk will be open. That's always been the case.

  ^^ THIS.

 

  If there is an international flight leaving, the re-entry desk will be open.  

 

  Why is this?

 

  Because if there is an international flight departing, the Immigration bureau needs to have Immigration officers on hand to stamp passports.

 

  If there are Immigration officers on duty, they are available to provide one with a re-entry permit.  

 

  Why is this?

 

  Because Immigration officers are the ones who process re-entry permits.

I like to avoid going to the airport if I'm not taking a flight. Thanks for your help.
