Reentry Permit Issue

[Ali Suwitno]

In the past - I have avoided the Re-entry Permit

Counter at the Airport. I have always obtained my

Permit in advance at  Suan Phlu Immigration HQ.

However last time I decided to give the Airport Counter

a try ...

They were helpful - and after they complete the admin work

- the passenger has to wait for their "Boss" to sign the Permit.

15 mins should be sufficient.

I had previously regarded the Airport Counter as an outpost of the

Immigration HQ - but I think it must be staffed & supervised by

Airport Immigration - and therefore on duty 24 hours.

I would imagine that if it were not staffed - one need only proceed

to the Exit Immigration Officers Counters and ask if someone can

be sent to the Re-entry Permit Counter.

They will only process Permits for Boarding Pass Holders

- so the time passengers have available for applying at the

Counter is limited by the Time that your AirLine opens your

Flight Check-In Counter and the queue you might find in front

of you there.

And a Queue at the Re-entry Permit Counter that I encountered

is also possible.
