Re-entry permit question.

[KanomPang]

Okay, so quick question just so either myself or passport control don't make a mistake.

1. I have 1 year visa (expires Nov. 2014).

2. I have a single re-entry permit (on a different page).

When I go back to UK for Christmas in December and return to CM in January what do passport control stamp?

Just so I know to keep an eye out as I don't want them stamping the wrong thing and then my visa is null and void.

Thanks in advance.

I assume you have a one year EXTENSION. Given that you already have a re-entry permit then your entry stamp should be valid until November 2014, same date as your extension expiry date. And they will cancel the re-entry stamp when you arrive back in Thailand.

Per above.

When returning to Thailand, fill in your re-entry permit number on the arrival card hwere they ask for your visa. Before leaving immigration, check if they stamped you in right. Much easier to correct mistakes on the spot.

Can I also ask when getting a re-entry permit

is there any date limit on how early before your departure

you may go to immigration to get one?

I am on a yearly extension based on marriage so will need

to get one before we take a trip in March

I know you can supposedly get one at the airport but my flight leaves

at midnight & I do not want to chance it

Thanks

You can apply for a re-entry permit (or multiple) on the day your new annual extension is granted, and it is valid until your extension expiry date (or until you use up the re-entry permits)

Thanks for the replies understood. Much appreciated.

Thanks but I just did my 1 year renewal not knowing I was

going to leave for a vacation

In such a case can I just go in anytime & get one good for a year then?

Yes, good until the expiry date of your extension
