I'm planning to get a re-entry permit at Chiang Mai airport. Are the application forms available at that desk? I'm not able to print myself.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The application forms for re-entry permits are available at the re-entry permit counter at Chiang Mai airport, as several commenters have confirmed. If you don't have the ability to print the forms yourself, you can find them at the airport. It is also suggested to consider paying a small fee for assistance with the application process.

Just for clarification. Do you mean getting the re-entry permit at the airport itself or at the airport immigration office?

From another forum:

Re-entry permit at CNX airport has moved from:

-BEFORE the security check on the left

to

-AFTER the security check on the right.

(The counter before security is still there, but they will direct you to the one after security)

Will depend on if it is a direct international flight from Chiang Mai as to whether you can use immigration at the airport. Everything can be done there including the forms and photos.

Examples:

You fly from Chiang Mai to Bangkok

You fly from Bangkok to another country

You must get your re-entry permit at the Bangkok airport

or

You are flying from Chiang Mai direct to another country

You can get your re-entry permit from the Chiang Mai airport

, it depends on your type of tickets, not the itinerary

Even if you go through BKK airport, if your tickets are connecting type, you get re-entry permit and are stamped out from the country at CNX.

If your tickets are not connected, you need to get re-entry permit and are stamped out from Thailand at BKK.

I have never used that re-entry permit counter

BUT

I'd bet dollars to durian that they have the TM8 application for re-entry forms there for people who show up to buy one before flying out internationally

Hopefully someone who has used that re-entry counter will weigh in with the answer
