Completing the ReEntry Permit Application form

[GuyDow]

I am in the process of filling in my TM8 prior to my annual visit to the folks back home. Most of the form is fine but there is one question that always stumps me and I end up getting the guys at Immigration to fill it in for me.

The section is that which asks for details of your visa : place of issue and date of issue.

My last visa was issued in 2007 and is in an old passport. Since then I have obtained annual extensions of stay each year.

So what do I put here ? Details of my 2007 visa ? My last extension ? Or something else ?

Thanks in advance for your advice on this one.

The visa that allowed the entry you have been extending every year.

It is asking for the visa used to enter the country prior to your extensions of stay.

I suppose when you put it like that, it seems obvious.

Seems I can't see the wood for the trees.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Yesterday I went to Nakorn Pathom immigration and submitted my completed TM8. Following the suggestions I received here I had written in the date of my 8 year-old visa in the field for date of last visa.

Guess what ? The official crossed that out and wrote in something else.

When I asked about it I was told I should enter the date of my most recent extension. So that is what I shall be doing until I am told otherwise.

Well, as with many things, it seems to depend on the immigration office and specific official. At last, this one is no biggie.
