brewsterbudgen Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) I seem to remember a recent thread that posted an official sounding notice saying that Re-entry Permits were now available at the airport. Has anyone actually got one there and, with the regular horror stories of long lines at passport control/immigration is it actually practical to get a permit there? I will need a Re-entry Permit for April and would much prefer not to have to travel to Chaeng Wattana Immigration, but without positive reports of permits being easily available at the airport I guess I'll have to. Are they still being issued at Suan Plu on Saturdays? Edited February 22, 2011 by brewsterbudgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfgangbkk Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 When you reach at Immigration on 4th floor, you will see one counter on the left hand side holding signs of Re-entry permit. I was at the airport yesterday. However, i didn't have to do Re-entry permit thing. I went there to correct the stamp of my friends passport who had wrong stamp on arrival.

brewsterbudgen Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 So no one has actually got their re-entry permit at the airport since they started issuing them there again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalper Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 not sure it can help but at phuket airport they stopped issueing reentry permit 2 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuchulainn Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I know it's a drag, but peace of mind getting one at CW far outweighs the sleepless nights thinking about not getting one at the airport. Grit your teeth and get to CW!! I was at the airport a few days ago and both the queues to exit thru immigration and get back a few days later were an absolute nightmare!!

keestha Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Is it (still) right that besides maybe at the airport you can only get a re-entry permit at your local immigration office? Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Came through outgoing immigration this evening. Re-entry desk was manned (womanned) but didn't see anyone using it. IMPORTANT. The desk is NOT 24 hours, the sign on the front says '06.00 - 24.00', there still do not appear to be any photo facilities so you'll need a piccie.

I fly out on 7 April and I'd love to avoid having to make a trip to Chaeng Wattana for the permit. However, I'm still not sure I want to risk the desk being unmanned, or there being ridiculous queues or some other Thai reason why I can't get it at the airport!

You mean it's good to know we don't know the risk the desk being unmanned, or there being ridiculous queues or some other Thai reason why I can't get it at the airport!? Join the club!

Join the club! With no decent reports about success at the airport, who would want to risk losing a visa to take the chance. Imagine you'd just started out on a one year retirement extension, only to lose it because the desk was closed or you couldn't get it done on time for your flight.
