nivram4491 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 My retirement extension is valid until March 15, 2015. If I buy a multiple re-entry permit on October 1 when does it expire? On March 15, 2015 or October 1, 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Re-entry permits are only valid for the length of the permit to stay they are issued for. In your case that is March 15th of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivram4491 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks for the info. So if going the multiple re-entry route it only makes sense to buy it at the same time as getting the permission to stay extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If you expect to make a enough trips out of the country to justify getting a multiple re-entry permit when you get your extension is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Fixit Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks for the info. So if going the multiple re-entry route it only makes sense to buy it at the same time as getting the permission to stay extended. Precisely. Each time I extend my visa, I get a single re-entry permit. It's not likely I'll want to leave twice in a year, but if I do, then I just pay another 1,000 baht. In your case, paying 3,800 baht for a multiple re-entry hardly seems worth it unless you are going to leave Thailand at least 4 times in the next 6 months.

On the TM 8 form they ask where you are going, when and returning when. How do you answer this if you don't know where and when you are going sometime in the unknown future.

ubonjoe Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Some offices will let you leave those spaces blank. Or you can put any date or place you want because they will not be on the re-entry permit stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
