Jawnie Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm on a one-year ED visa and want to make one trip out of Thailand. Do I simply go to the immigration office and apply for such? What's the process and costs, if anyone knows? TIA fellow forum farangs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 You apply for a re-entry permit and use that as your visa information when you return to get the same permitted to stay date. Cost is 1,000 baht and photo using TM.8 form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evermaat Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) If it is multiple entry, there is no additional requests needed. Just leave from border immigration, and come back anytime before the visa expires. You will receive 90 days permission to stay for each re-entry. If it is single entry, you might have to either try to get extensions + reentry permit , or get a new visa. if you must get new visa, Get a new multiple entry ed visa. You can leave whenever you want and come back anytime within the visa expiration date. Hope this wasnt confusing. "2nd best time to plant a tree is today."

This is helpful. I will need to extend my ED visa in April and want to head out during Songkran (no work; avoid the crazies, etc.) so your saying at that time, get the travel permit, ie., re-entry permit, along with the extension, correct?

lopburi3 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If you obtain extension prior to travel yes you get that stamp in your passport and then apply for re-entry permit to keep it alive for your return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
