bubba1 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 i am on my last entry on a triple entry tourist visa can i get a reentry permit on this? And if so how much is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Yes. A re-entry permit is 1,000 baht single entry or 3,800 baht multi entry. You are aware that it will not add any additional time to your permitted to stay? On a sixty day tourist visa entry it would allow you to leave after 5 days, spend 5 days somewhere else, and return for the remaining 50 days (plus extension if you decide to obtain an extra 30 days for 1,900 baht. It does not add any time to the current permitted to stay period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba1 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks I was not sure since the visa is expired but it sounds like the reentry permit is based on permission to stay rather than the visa it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Yep. It keeps your permision to stay alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba1 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 what is required in Pattaya besides 1000 baht and the application form? Photographs, copies of the visa/passport? Is a plane ticket required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 As said you will not gain any days on a re-entry permit. If you have permission to stay to for ex 23-03-2011, then it will still be that date. Better get a new visa while abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planr Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It is valid till till you have used it and not after the day your current permission to stay ends. Sorry to hijack the OP's post, but this is relevant to me. I have a multi-entry tourist visa (currently on first of 3 entries). The "validity" of the visa is through July 15. I am planning to be outside of Thailand from April through June and will thus not use my second entry until sometime in June. Based on your post, it seems I am able to use my third entry AFTER July 15, is that a correct interpretation? I've been told that it is OK by the Consulate in the US that granted the visa, but they said some people have encountered issues with immigration where they want you to use all entries by the last day of the visa's validity. Thanks for any clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any clarification You need to make all entries before July 15th, on each entry you would be stamped permited to stay 60 days. A re-entry permit simply keeps the permission to stay from being canceled upon departure but it would not add any days.

tombkk Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yep. It keeps your permision to stay alive. We need a permission to stay alive? What will they do if that permission expires? Well, based on your posting, I can imagine. Gee, this is tough stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombkk Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It is valid till till you have used it and not after the day your current permission to stay ends. Is that so? Of course, my own permission to stay is an extension of stay, far beyond the original visa. In my case, your advice applies. But I understand the OP is on visa stay, and he will be able to stay 30/60/90 days (depending on the visa), counting from the day of arrival. The only restriction is that he has to arrive within the validity of the visa. I don't think he is on an extension of stay. Am I mixing up something here?

A re-entry permit simply keeps the permission to stay from being canceled upon departure but it would not add any days. This posting arrived over here after I submitted my previous posting. Yes, I see it the same way, except that the re-entry permit could increase the number of entries. If it is three entries in the original visa, and he is on his third, the re-entry can give him one (or multiple) entries more, as long as he arrives within the validity of the visa.

lopburi3 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 A re-entry permit is issued for the same period as your current permitted to stay time (stamp you receive on arrival or extension of stay) - to use it you must return before that date - it adds no time to that date. A visa is never valid for entry after it expires, regardless of the number of entries it potentially allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I was trying to provide a simple and helpful rule that would be understandable rather than attacking other posters who may also intend to be helpful. If it is three entries in the original visa, and he is on his third, the re-entry can give him one (or multiple) entries more, as long as he arrives within the validity of the visa. Your statement above (and above my post) was wrong. It has nothing to do with the validity of the visa if on final entry but everything to do with the current permitted to stay allowed. The visa could be expired and he could still return with a re-entry permit if within the permitted to stay time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve187 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 what is required in Pattaya besides 1000 baht and the application form? Photographs, copies of the visa/passport? Is a plane ticket required? copies of passport and photo i believe, no plane ticket. collect a form as you enter, the staff there will help.
