Can I buy a re-entry permit for my non-immigrant O visa at the airport in Bangkok before check-in?

@Roger ******

Can be done before also but only works if you intend to do that first then queue at Immi 2 for the exit stamp. On premium lane or Immi 3 you are basically forced to do it after, but there is no issue with that.

@Luke *******

ok i thought i would need the re-entry permit sorted before immigration stamped me out😊

@Roger ******

Yes, and the woman at the reentry permit office will let you walk back into airside since you already have the exit stamp.

@Luke *******

did you get the re-entry permit after geting the exit stamp?

As a matter of fact, I even got chopped at Immigration 3 once (not premium), and walked back to Immigration 2 via airside to the reentry permit office. That is also possible.

@Ricky ****

Yes I used the premium lane in Suvarnhabumi and then applied for a reentry permit. There is no difference, the premium lanes are just lanes located next to the other lanes, although separated by a wall. After getting the exit stamp, you turn left and walk to the same reentry office. If in need for the photoservice, you just keep walking "back into the country", then back to reentry office, then back to airside. They will let you do that.

I cannot be sure about fast track side but some one commented like this a while ago.

@Roger ******

not that i have needed one but i have looked and never seen an obvious re-entry permit counter when exiting Swampy through the premium lane. Would be interested if others were able to answer your question

I suppose they have a counter for re-entry permits also for fast track/premium lane pasagers after security check and before passport control?

@Tullio ******

In the back left corner as you face the passport control officers.

Suvernabhumi:

after check-in and security screening, and before passport control. On the right corner when you enter the passport control desks floor from the escalator.

Don Muang:

after check-in and passport control (you need mention about re-entry permit at the desk), and before security screening. Just behind the passport control counters.

Where? Before or after the security check?
