Renewing my ext of stay for 1 yr when I have an existing re-entry permit in PP

[ghworker2010]

My current ext of stay based on employment expires on 8th June. Work told me that they want to arrange another 12 month contract with WP. 

 

We are going abroad for a holiday 20th May and back in early june (2nd). A month or so ago I paid for a 're-entry permit' which is valid to the 8th June. 

 

Does it matter if I go back to immigration before I go away and get the 12 month ext of stay- does it impact the existing re-entry permit? Or should I just get the WP done before I go away and get the 12 month ext of stay done when I get back on the 2nd June. 

 

I don't want to nullify the re-entry permit. 

 

thanks

Your present Re-entry Permit is only valid for your current Extension of Stay. If you don't use it, you can not transfer/extend it.

If you get a new one year extension your current re-entry permit would be invalid since it was issued for a different permit to stay date.

I think getting your extension after you return from your trip could be risky since you will have less than 6 days to get it done. Best to get the extension and pay 1000 baht for a new single re-entry permit.

If I arrange the new work permit at the labour office before I go then that means that the day Im back to work we can take the new paperwork / contracts etc to immigration and get it the same day. It would take 2 hours. I can do that within the 6 days remaining. I think its plenty of time to be honest.
