TLDR : Answer Summary
The re-entry permit service is available at Suvarnabhumi Airport, including on Saturdays. However, it can only be obtained after clearing passport control. Travelers should be aware that to get the re-entry permit, they must go to Zone 2 after clearing immigration. It is recommended to consider obtaining the re-entry permit at an immigration office if you are getting a visa extension on Friday, as it could save time. The cost of the re-entry permit at the airport is 1,200 baht.

You say you are getting a new visa stamp on Friday. Do you mean an extension? If you’re getting an extension at an immigration office on Friday…consider getting your reentry permit at the immigration office at the same time and avoid getting it at the airport.

The easiest is going to international departure gate 2, there is a re-entry permit counter as the photo shows, before passport control, on the same floor (this photo was taken on 31 January 2024)

This was reported in December at BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok

Another report regarding getting a Re-entry permit at BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok.

Thanks for your helpful report...

"Hi James, saw your comments on Thai visa FB group and that you're a moderator. I left Suvarnabhumi on Thursday and went through passport control at Zone 3 (it's closest to the later alphabet letter check in counters eg N onwards).

There is no re entry permit desk in Zone 3.

After they stamped my passport I had to walk back to Zone 2 passport control and line up for the reentry permit.

There's only 1 reentry permit desk in passport control and it's in Zone 3 despite there being 3 zones.

So just FYI you can clear passport control and then apply for reentry but have to walk to Zone 2.

If you print out the TM form and fill it in plus have your passport photo ready it's 1000 baht not 1200 baht. 15 mins max I waited."

You will get the Reentry permit AFTER you pass thru Thai Immigration and stamped out. So you cannot get it in the morning if your flight ✈️ is in the evening. Be sure to check in when your airline opens for Check in... usually 3 hours before flight time. The cost is 1200 Thai baht at the airport.
