I haven't been staying in Thailand for the past 6 months. Just arrived recently.

I think I have come across news that Suanpluu has moved.

So does that mean it not possible anymore to apply for extension of TR at Suanpluu ?

Corect, you have to go to the new office at Chaeng Wattana Road.

Government Center Building B

No. 120 Moo 3

Chaeng Wattana Road Soi 7

Thung Song Hong, Laksi

Bangkok 10210

Open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Fri (exc holidays). Closed 12:00-13:00 for lunch.

Location map/information here.

I've just checked the Thai Immigration Bureau website and it says this:

You could apply an extention stay or a re-entry permit at every checkpoint.

— For a re-entry permit,if you are in Bangkok area and you have an Internet access, you could fill in a TM. 8 form and send it to [email protected]

— You should e-mail the completed form 1 day in advance.

— You have to submit a 2" photo and pay a permit fee at counter 7, the Immigration Bureau (soi suanplu office.)

Fee for re-entry permit:

1,000 Bahts for single

3,800 Bahts for multiple

The Thai language version of the website has the same information and adds this "... at counter 7 or at the service point "Stop & Stamp" on the side of buiding 1, where the whole procedure can be done in five minutes, between 8:30 and 12:00 every working day"

"At every checkpoint" must surely mean that you can get it also at the airport. Then again, the URL has "/nov2004/" in it, so it might be a bit outdated. The re-entry information page on Thaivisa.com has the same info and it's dated from April 2009. A colleague told me that you can still get your re-entry permit at Suanplu, but only on Saturdays. Has anyone tried to get a re-entry permit from Suanplu recently?

Outdated. Re-entry permits can no longer be got at the airport, the service closed a few months back. Chaengwattana is the place to go.

The information is indeed outdated. Never heard you can still get a re-entry permit at Suan Plu on Saturday. I would not count on it.
