Re-enrty permit Nong Khai

[swoods58]

Hi. I am due to go to Laos in a few days and am currently here on a single entry re-entry permit. Yes, I should have got a multi. Can I get a new one at the border or do I need to go to Immigration? I need to drop off my hire car in Udon before heading to Laos, so this would convenient if the border is not an option. Does it take long? Thanks.

Sorry OP I have read your thread 3 times. Am confused. Where are you. ? You wish to drop hire car at udon and go to loas, then what??

What is a "single entry re-entry permit"?

How did you enter the country ? What visa do you have and what exactly are you now seeking ?

I do not consider his post confusing. He wants to know

1. Can he get a reentry permit from Thai immigration at the bridge in Nong Khai? (I think no, but unsure.)
2. How long does it take to get a reentry permit from Udon Thani immigration? (No idea. Probably depends on when you are doing it. I would not depend on a quick in-out.)

Thanks for the interpretation.

A pity the OP did not state what he was seeking as clearly as you have done on his behalf .

I think he got a single re-entry permit and entered entered the country using it.

There is a re-entry permit desk at the Nong Khai crossing. Not sure about the hours if is open.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes I had a O-A that expired and rentered on a single entry re-entry permit. I want to go to Laos and would need to obtain another reentry permit to come back at the conclusion. I guess ubonjoe has answered for me. I can get a new reentry permit at the Nong Khai border. Thanks.

I guess if you don't know what a single entry re-entry permit is, you shouldn't answer the question .

It's one if these.

You mean you entered visa exempt?

No he didn't. He used the single re-entry permit he had the last time he entered the country. Now he wants to get another re-entry permit before leaving.

Is that possible since the visa was already expired?

[swoods58]

The visa is expired but an O-A gives one year entries and I entered in April. This gave me a permission to stay until April 2016. The re-entry permit keeps the permission to stay alive.

A re-entry permit is issued for a permit to stay. The visas validity means nothing once you have a permit to stay from it.

Yes, the OP already explained his actions in the previous post.
