Re-Entry Permit

[curtklay]

I know this has been asked before, but I'm going to ask it again just to be sure.

I will be going to Nan Immigration next week to get my second "1 year extension based on retirement" to my US type O visa.

This time I want to also get a single re-entry permit (TM.8) to have on hand in case I decide to leave Thailand for a trip, although I have no plans to do so at this time. My question is, do I fill in the section asking when I intend to leave and return, or just leave it blank?

Previous posts say to fill in fictitious dates. If that is correct, can the dates be anytime during the valid year? Would it be advisable to pick a fictitious date toward the beginning, middle , or end of the valid year? Does the fact that I do 90 day mail in address reports (TM-47) have any bearing on the dates?

Logic tells me to leave the dates blank, but I know TIT and all logic must be suspended. Thanks in advance. :jap:

Did the same last week at Hua Hin and just left the sections you refer to blank. No problem from the IO and he didn't amend the form.

Thanks, Don. That makes sense to me.
