jackoholly Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi All I am holding a triple entry tourist visa obtained from the UK with my British passport. Last week I activated my second entry in Aranyaprathet (Poi Pet, Cambodia) after spending a night there. The casinos were great, so great that I want to go back next week. It's a shame there are no casinos in Thailand! My question is, am I able to obtain a re-entry permit at this border so that I don't waste 7 remaining weeks on my second (current) stamp? Any advice is appreciated. Even better if someone has actually done this themselves.

jackoholly Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Right, okay. Thank you. Do you know of anywhere (possibly in Bangkok) I am able to obtain a re-entry permit? Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 You can get a re-entry permit in Bangkok at either of the temporary immigration offices until Friday the 30th and then from Monday the 2nd onward at the main office in Chaeng Wattana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackoholly Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Great Joe, thank you. Any idea how much is costs? I'm trying to find the info online about this temporary one but no luck :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 A single re-entry permit costs 1000 baht. Info about the 2 temporary office locations can be found in this topic.Immigration services at Cheang Wattana now suspended As I said starting on Monday they will be back their normal office.

jackoholly Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 It does state that it's for the 3 national legalised labour countries only. That's Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos. I have a British passport and would hope not to make a wasted trip to this immigration office. I was hoping to go tomorrow since I'm planning on going to Cambodia on Sunday but the office that doesn't state it's for those 3 countries is only open from Monday as you said.

ubonjoe Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Until Friday those two office will do your re-entry permit. The one at Major Hollywood Suksawat has been reported as being the best of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiRich Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Actually, you can stop off in the city of Aranyaprathet, 5km before Poi Pet border crossing and get your re entry permit there at the immigration office, which is next to the police station.

They might work but the OP could well need a local address to put on the TM8 application form. Many offices will want that and some proof of address. It would not be good to travel all the way there and not get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackoholly Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Great success. Went to Hollywood Major today. Not waiting too long. Paid the fee with the application form filled in and after about 15 minutes I was on my way. It's a bit out of the way though, even for myself with a motorbike.

jackoholly Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Also, I was sent to the re-entry desk on the Thailand side as the officer mistakenly thought I needed one. So apparently you can get one at the border. Would have saved me the time and effort but hey ho. Advice appreciated anywho.

4dyg Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) yes i am certain that i have seen a reentry desk in the desk row at aran exit. so thats 1000 plus 800 baht visa before you even start gambling. plus transport there and back. so how big are you betting squire?
