Roger Lee Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Currently I have a Tourist Visa and am going out of Thailand for a non-O Visa base on retirement as I have multiple Visa Exempts and enough Tourist Visas from Vientiane to warrant a warning stamp. If I am successful in getting the re-entry permit and then I get the desired non-0 later is it possible to re-enter using the non-0 even though I already have a re-entry permit? I'm just caculating my options prior to my non-O visa run for possible problems. Right now if the worst were to happen the re-entry permit will give me at least two more options to get my ducks in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think you will find you will not get an re-entry permit based on a tourist visa. Once you get the Non- Imm O and retirement permit you can then apply for a re-entry permit (single B1900, multiple 3800). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Okay I was thinking the TM-8 could be used for a re-entry permit with a tourist visa at the local immigration office or at an airport such as the Suvarnabhumi airport. Thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 There is no rule saying you can not get a re-entry for a permission to stay from a TR visa. If you get the Non-O this will be used for entry (fill departure card respectively and point to visa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi007 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 What papers are required for a re entry permit? I haven't done one in a while, but I think it's a TM 8, copy of the passport ID page and copy of my new extension. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is what they look like. And single entries are 1000 baht not 1900. Edited April 27, 2017 by calbts2 more info added 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calbts2 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Actually yes. I got a SETV in Yangon in late January, came back to Bangkok for a week or so, left Thailand for over a month and acquired a re-entry permit at Changwattana before I left. When I returned to Don Muang (which is notoriously not one of the friendlier entry points) last month the IO at first could not understand why I used a re-entry permit and was out of Thailand on it for so long. But she was not confrontational or questioning - it was more bewilderment. I just calmly told her that I try to avoid coming by Visa Exempt as much as possible and she stamped me in no problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a re-entry permit based on my tourist visa, 2 years ago, no problem at all. Then are you sure about the fees that you displayed? Single entry is 1000 Baht only ,not 1.900 unless they're changed lately. But 3.800 for multi-entry is correct Edited January 30, 2018 by roadrunner32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
