thuisinthailand Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 We need 3 re-entry permits (for myself, my wife and our son) on our Non-Immigrant O retirement extension. Can I go myself with the 3 TM.8 forms and the necessary copies (+ pass photo) to Immigration, or do we have to go all three of us? In other words, does the application for a re-entry permit has to be done in person? I go myself anyway, but I am wondering if I have to bring my wife and son along for the process. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanoshi Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Provided you take all 3 passports, I don't see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 It does state this on the TM8 form. "APPLICANT MUST SUBMIT THE APPLICATION IN PERSON." It might well depend upon the immigration office you use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glegolo I know my office will/have done it, but as the OP didn't state which office then I can only guess. It depends on the office as UJ states.

brewsterbudgen Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I got re-entry permits for myself, my wife and son and although they were with me as we had received our Extensions earlier, they were not present for the re-entry permits as they were downstairs shopping.

thuisinthailand Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 We're on Samui. Did the re-entry last year alone (with wife and kid waiting outside, not showing themselves to the immigration officer), but only this year I read the line about submitting in person. I'll give it a try alone, if they reject we'll go back together, immigration is only a 10 minute bike ride away, so no sweat.

IMA_FARANG Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I don't honestly know your specific answer, but I myself have applied in person for re-entry permits previously in Bangkok at CW immigration office. As I recall there is or at least was a special office cubicle for that. Took only a couple of minutes, and can be done at the same time as you get your extension..

You need to do the extensions first and then take a new number for a different desk for the re-entry permits (having first photocopied the new visa extension page in your passport). Very much doubt if takes a couple of minutes, it took me an hour to do the re-entry permit yesterday at CW (Wednesday morning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went alone to immigration this morning, with 3 TM.8 forms, signed, with the necessary passport copies and photos. No questions, I was asked to pay 3,000 baht and offered the choice to either wait or pick them up in the afternoon. As we live 10 minutes away from immigration, I choose for the latter. Just went back and picked up the passports, with re-entry permits in them. As my 4 year old would say, it went "easy peacy, lemon squeezy..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
