joeyg Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Was told you could get your re-entry permit at the airport when departing. I am booked to depart on February 25 return March 29. My 90 check-in is set for April 27. Do I need to get my re-entry permit at the local Samut Prakan office or can I get it as I've been told by a friend at the airport? As usual thanks in advance.

joeyg Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Just found this on line. Does it apply to Retirement visa as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Found what? Yes, you can get it at "the" airport - either DMK or BKK in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyg Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Also found this. So I guess the answer is yes. If you have an extension of stay but would like to travel outside Thailand for a short period then you will need to apply for a Re-Entry permit. Unlike before that this can be secured at the airport, Immigration rules have changed and you can now apply for a re-entry permit at the following: Thai Immigration located at Suan Pluh, Bangkok Any other immigration checkpoint When applying for a re-entry permit you will need to submit the following: A completed TM-8 form The correct fee A 2″ photo Photocopy of passport (main page and atest entry stamp) The current fees for re-entry permits are as follows: 1,000 Baht for single 3,800 Baht for multiple Re-entry permits can be applied for in person or by an agent at Thai Immigration, Soi Suan Phlu, Sathorn Tai, Bangkok. If an agent is used a letter of attorney is required. The processing time at Thai Immigration Suan Pluh, can vary from 1 hour to half a day, so if you prefer to queue, apply before lunch so you can pick it up later the same day. A pick up can be made by courier as long as the green receipt is produced. There is another convenient option if you are in Bangkok and have access to the internet, you can fill out out the TM-8form and email it to [email protected] at least one day in advance. You must then attend the Immigration office at Suan Phlu and submit a 2″ photo and the correct fee at counter 7. Please remember when arriving back into Thailand, you must note the re-entry permit number on the Immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie23 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You can get a re-entry permit by passport control at suvarnabhumi. Would assume the same at DMK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You can get a re-entry permit at both airports in Bangkok 24 hours a day, It does not matter what the permit to stay it is issued for is from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please remember when arriving back into Thailand, you must note the re-entry permit number on the Immigration. That info is way out of date, Suan Pluh immigrration closed years ago. There is also no more applications by email. You cannot apply at all immigration offices if you are on an extension of stay. About the only thing correct is the form number and fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 How long does it take at the airport? It should not take much more than 15 or 20 minutes. At Suv (bkk) they charge a 200 baht service fee because they do the photo, form and copies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
