Can I get a re-entry permit for my 60-day tourist visa if I leave Thailand for a week?
I am coming to Thailand 1 Dec on 60 day tourist but want to go PPhen on 8th for a week can I get a exit permit or will I lose my 60 day visa
Answer summary
If you are traveling to Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa and plan to leave for a week to visit PPhen, you can obtain a re-entry permit to keep your visa valid. You can apply for a single re-entry permit (around 1,000 baht) at your local Immigration Office or at the airport before you exit. This way, when you re-enter Thailand, your 60-day visa will still be intact, allowing you to continue your stay. However, if your visa is a single-entry type, make sure to get the re-entry permit before leaving Thailand.

Re-Entry Permit application (form TM.8) that is provided at your local Thai Immigration Office. One 2″ x 2″ passport photo. 1,000 baht for a single re-entry permit; 3,800 baht for a multiple re-entry permit (cash only) you can get them at the airport to

, I deleted a photo with bad information. The re-entry permit counters at both Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang are open ****
and the re-entry permit counter at Suvarnabhumi is AFTER security in Departure 2Marco *********
I think Suvarnabhumi Immigration charges 1200 instead of 1000 baht for single re-entry permit

there were some reports here which said if you bring all documents and photos, you still pay 1000 for single. You don't need bring anything they prepare everything and pay 1200..

said, you can buy a re-entry permit at 1000 baht and when you exit and re-enter the Country it keeps your visa valid.

I’m pretty sure you can buy a single reentry permit when you leave on the 8th - if by plane you can get it at the airport before you exit Thailand immigration. Then you can enter again on the same 60 day visa (minus the days you used before and when you exited)
This is if your 60 day visa is a single entry visa.
If you have a multi entry visa then it doesn’t matter. And when you enter back into Thailand you will get another 60 days.

@Steve *********
no worries a LOT of people confuse the wording but you are correct, most people get stamped in for 30 days for free when entering the country. :)Steve **********
Ok..sorry ..heard the 30 days u get at the airport referred to this in the past

@Steve *********
There is NO such thing as a one month visa on arrival :/ Those are actually 30 day visa exempt entry stamps.Steve **********

yes I know, it is just an attempt, sometimes it can work but not guaranteed.Unless you staple 2 pages of your passport to hide the visa 🤣

I've asked that before and been refused. The IO was very nice and escalated it to check but came back that it was not possible, that if the visa was there it had to be used. I think he'd be better off leaving the visa number off the arrival form and hoping they miss it.

He could try to do that (even if actually is not a visa on arrival but a visa exemption stamp). Just ask the Immigration officer not to stamp USED on his visa and give him a พ30 entry stamp.
It could work.
It could work.

OPSo I will lose my visa

No! Buy a re-enter permit at Immigration before leaving on 8th!
