Can I apply for a re-entry permit in Phuket if I have a Non-Immigrant 'O' visa with a retirement extension?
Hi All
Re-entry permit enquiry...
My situation is that I have a non-immi 'O' visa with one year retirement extension and no re-entry permit so far.
I now need to leave/return Thailand once, before my extension expires, and retain my current visa so I can extend again.
I got my last extension renewal at Jomtien, Chonburi.
I'm in Phuket now and want to stay south, flying out of the country from Samui in June. I see now that I probably should have applied for a re-entry permit at Jomtien before I left.
I just want to confirm that it's NOT possible to apply for a re-entry permit at Phuket immigration and that I need fly from Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi airport and apply there when I fly.
If so, are there any issues with doing that which have occurred recently?
Thanks

all you can do is go to Phuket Immigration office with a TM30 showing you're registered as staying down there and see if they'll let you apply for a re-entry permit or not
I don't even know if they sell re-entry permits at the Samui airport, and I'd post on a Samui or southern island group and ask
