Re-entry Permit at Don Muang

[zenplay]

Hello.

 

I have heard that I can get re-entry stamp at DMK airport Immigration.

The re-entry counter seems to be located just after immigration control.

As I will leave the country for vacation, is there a risk that immigration control cancel my retirement visa before I get the re-entry ?

 

Just need some clarification. I want to be sure. Thank you. 🙂

You are correct.

The reentry permit desk is just past immigration passport control.

Single reentry 1000b

Multiple reentry 3800b 

They have optional "service fee" of 200b where they provide the TM8 + photo + fill it in etc.

 

Suggest you mention straight away to io at passport control that you are obtaining a reentry permit. Just saves him time to look for it 

Switched on immigration officers will even remind you of reentry permit if they notice you don't have one.

 

It's bullet proof and a good option.

Just to ease your conscience, you can ask the IO when departing the location of the reentry permit office

No.  No risk.  Just remember to get it as described above.

Bit hard to miss. It's 5m past immigration lines. You can see the office from passport control.

Extensions are not cancelled. 

The permission of stay simply becomes invalid without a reentry permit.

just to clear thing up, passport control is the guy that check your passport before you headed to immigration stamp out, correct?, but you can get a re-entry permit before you pass the immigration stamp out

The guy  checking pp to enter departure area is irrelevant.

The only guy to concentrate on is the immigration officer that stamps you out.

That's the immigration lines. 

At DMK the reentry permit desk is just past him/her. 

Note at BKK the reentry permit desk is prior. 

You will know if somehow you missed it and are in security check (bags etc) area and don't have you reentry permit.

 

The reentry permit takes half page of passport and as a result some folk buy a multi if thinking they may take mose trips abroad.

Just need a fiiled TM8 with photo, and 1,000 baht, right ?

No need for passeport copies ?

There is couple of basic photocopies of pp ages.

1. ID page of your passport (photo page) 

2. most recent visa or extension   stamp page from your passport

3.most recent entry to Thailand stamp from your passport.

 

Having stated that most of the time they just push those photocopies back.

 

Best option is to pay the 200b service fee imo.

Worth noting:  Last time I was there. the Re-Entry Stamp office at DMK shares space with the overstay office.  Be sure to let them know you are there for a Re-entry stamp. They tend to assume that everybody who comes in and sits down is there for overstay.  It can be a long wait.

 Most of the time the "overstay guy" is giving the reentry permit desk a chop out. 

The permit desk is fist as you enter the "office" area. 

 

You state....." It can be a long wait." 

Not in my experience. Quite the opposite.
