Esoterik Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi, wondering about my visa, any help much appreciated. I currently have a Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit and I'd like to leave Thailand for about a week. Can I just leave and reenter on the same visa since it's valid for another couple of months or do I need to re do the visa on return? Thanks!

Soutpeel Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 you need a re-entry permit, you can get it at the airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It depends on what you actually have. Do you have a valid multiple non-B visa or a single non-B visa or or you o an extension of stay from immigration in Thailand. Only if you hold a valid multiple non-B visa can you just leave. in all other cases you need to ge a re-entry permit before you leave, at a cost of 1,000 baht OR get a new visa before you return.

Esoterik Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have a single Non B visa, no extension. So I'll get a re entry permit. Can I get this at my local immigration office? I'm going over land and I'd rather avoid the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 You even must go tou your local immigration office. Don't forget to take a pass photo with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I need to leave to indo for 5 days and I am on a single non-b (currently waiting to apply for my work permit), am I still eligible to get a re-entry permit??

Yes you can get one at your local office. It has nothing to do with waiting for your WP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yes but your new permitted to stay date will be the same as you currently have so return will have to be before that date to make use of it. So it would fit a short trip out and return if early in the stay period but "waiting to apply for work permit" is very vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Additional info: The re-entry permit will only be valid for time remaining on current permit to stay that you got when you entered the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiotic Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thanks Beano, I will do that! Lopburi, we have just started up our company and getting everything in order with accountants & lawyers etc before we can proceed to that stage, so thats the reason why im waiting to apply for WP. Its a bit of a confusing situation, but we should be applying in the next 2 weeks....But I might need to leave for 5 days on this Sunday which is short, my non-b ends in August. Thanks for the comments guys much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yes you can get re-entry permit at swampy. Desk is located just before departure immigration. Be sure you have photo and to save a little time copies of passport photo page, visa page, entry/permit to stay stamps and TM6 departure card. Having a completed TM8 application form (http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/pdf/tm8.pdf) would help also. But still allow extra time when departing for getting permit.

lopburi3 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 They have a desk after checking in open 06-2400 - will cost several hundred baht more (they have copy/photo equipment I believe). If you have time I would get from Chiang Watanna today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
