Sorry if this has been done to death, but I can't get a straight answer.

Im going to KL in 2 days. I cant get to Immigration.

need the re-entry stamp (and to know whether they do the form and photo like Swampy)

It will be 7.30 in the morning, plane at 8 30.

Thx

The re-entry permit desk a DM is open 24 hours a day.

They have arrangements to do the form, photo and copies but it is not as organized as Suv.

You might save a little time by having everything ready when you get there.

Yes, you can get a re-entry permit at Don Muang. But not sure you if they provide the photo. Best to bring your own.

Ask immigration where the re-entry permit desk is, if I recall correctly it is after you pass immigration.

I travelled recently with someone that needed to have their re-entry issued at DMK. As Mario says, it is in an office directly behind the immigration counters - roughly in the middle.

If you can catch the attention of an officer there, it will save you queuing since the counter officer won't stamp you out anyway.

If I recall correctly you can provide the form, copy and photo for the regular price or for a couple of hundred extra just hand over your passport and they do everything. I think they prefer the second option.

Is this possible for those with resident visa who require a stamp in the resident book as well as passport?

No

Those can only be done at an immigration office.

Thanks again.

Has anybody done this recently?

(DonM re-entry permit)?

Some people tell me to take my forms and passport copies, but others are saying it is all done by the desk for 1200b, so it is a waste of time getting the form ready (bad enough even on a good day)?

I will be there at 07.30 in morning.

At Suv. they fill in the form for you and take the picture etc, That is why there it costs 1,200 baht.

At DM you have to do every thing yourself and pay the regular fee of 1,000 baht.

Just out of curiousity, how long did the procedure take? I have 2 hours between planes.

2 hours is normally more than enough, but you need to check in at the airline first if you are not booked through and get a boarding pass for the connecting flight. I have seen computers breakdown at check-in and then it takes longer than planned.

But as said, normally it should not be a problem.
