TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can purchase a re-entry permit at Bangkok airport if you hold a tourist visa. However, be aware that this permit will not extend the validity of your visa; it simply allows you to leave the country and return within the same visa validity period.

and we're getting this topic pulled WAY off target. The O/P has a tourist visa entry stamp, wants a re-entry to exit for a few days then come back. They can get that at the airport on the way out

We are done, thanx one and all

Yes, you can, but obtaining the re-entry permit still depends on the expiration date of your visa.

Yes you can.

If you have a 'real' tourist visa [either an eVisa or a sticker visa; depending on the consulate you got it from] you can indeed get a re-entry permit from the airport when you fly out. (y)

Remember though a re-entry permit won't add any time to your existing 60 day entry stamp, all it will do is let you exit/re-enter and get stamped in for that same expiration date you got when you arrived on the visa. ๐Ÿ™‚

how long does a re-entry stamp last?
Brandon ************
@Ty ******
it lasts as long as the stamp you bought it for. If you're not back to apply for extension before that stamp ends then you lost it.

thanks, the plan is renewing it (1 year) before I leave. Hope no more changes. America is not a friendly place.

But have to go back for a couple months max next year

@Ty ******
it lasts until the expiration date of whatever visa you currently used to enter Thailand.

@Chad ********
my e-visa already expired, Iโ€™m on the non-O year extension

@Ty ******
whenever your extension expires, assuming you don't renew, is when the re-entry permits last until.

No, thatโ€™s the difference between single entry tourist visa and multiple entries tourist visa (METV).
