Can I Only Get Re-Entry Permit From The Immigration Office Where I Am Registered?

[jmdf103]

i have a non-imm education visa which i had processed at phuket town immigration office, and is also where i do my 90 day reporting. At the moment i am on a short break from studying in between courses and i would like to go abroad but i am currently in bangkok. Can i only get the permit from the phuket office?

thanks

If you are leaving from BKK airport you can also get it there between the hours of 0600-2400.

or at Don Muang, but you can't get the re-entry permit at an airport until you have your boarding pass.

Any immigration office will give you a re-entry permit.

It's now open 24 hours (according to the sign above the re-entry permit counter), but still 0600-2400 according to Chang Wattana office.

I work at the Immigration Office in Phuket. Getting a re-entry often depends on the Thai official you deal with but, normally if your in another immigration area (there are 6 immigration areas in Thailand) different to where you got your Non O visa you can only get a re-entry one day before you leave the country and you must also present your travel details, bus or plane. Next time you renew your visa, if you do, get a single -entry permit (Baht 1000) as a precaution for leaving the counrty unexpectedly. Good luck

It was only Phuket that imposed the one day rule due to all the dodgy extensions coming in from Koh Samui - I think you are ok elswhere

I've got re-entry permits from at least 4 different immigration offices.. I don't think it makes any difference.

But were they for an extension of stay or a visa entry? And also when would be the next question because at one time you could get them anywhere if on extensions of stay.

Thanks for the replies guys. Got re entry permit in the big chaeng wattana bkk office with no problems.
