Well it went quite smooth yesterday, the pre check paper fellas can surprise you though, forgot to sign all the papers, he also wanted to check my mobile number so he called me - that was a first ever. Filled out the overstay warning papers as usual, all good went to the officer inside which I had 2 years prior, she was very quick glanced at 12 month bank statement, and said 1900 baht please. Gave me a number and said pick up PP tomorrow at 4:00pm - ridiculous time with rush hour traffic etc. Anyway showed up at 1:30pm today, only one other fella in there, my Passport was ready !! Got a copy of the new extension, walked over to room 101 wanted to grab a re entry permit while there. Had copy of PP data page, new extension, last entry, TM 8, photo, then the young pre check lady says she needs a TM30, what's this all about ? for a re entry ? thats a first ever for me, didn't have it and left without a word, couldn't be bothered asking for a supervisor, and not something needed right away........ got the 1 year stamp which matters, cheers ........ something new every year

One other thing my 90 day report I was told starts on the last entry date into Thailand, not 90 days from new extension date...... different from last year

Ta for report.

Yes TM30 request can be hit and miss for something like reentry permit.

Would have thought you needed TM30 for extension.

Few things weren't mentioned.

Bank Letter, Lease, Map, etc

Money in bank method or income method.

As for reentry permit since you didn't obtain that you could get it at airport next trip out.

Yes I had the bank letter as well, did a transaction same day as application, Yes google map shown, and asked for selfie photo with house number - I had it with me but didn't hand it over at first. Did not ask for TM30 or rental agreement ( which I had with me ) my extension was 800k method.

Ok ill have the TM30 with me for re entry, yes airport as well for a re entry, thanks

Assume Phuket airport also has the 200b optional service for reentry permit where you just hand over pp.

Living in Bangkok ive only obtained reentry permits at BKK and DMK

Actually I don't know, most often I fly to Bangkok then out. I've never tried getting a re entry at the airport, paranoid about the office being closed or something.....
